Three-Course Gourmet Breakfast With Bubbly and Hot Smoked Salmon For Two Plus All-Day Riviera Entry from £129 at Forman's Fish Island

Crying over spilt milk is common among those who rush breakfast. Breakslow with today's Groupon from Forman's Fish Island. Choose from the following options for a three-course gourmet breakfast plus Riviera entry:

• £129 for two people, valid from 28 July to 2 August 2012 (Up to 44% off)

• £159 for two people, valid from 3 to 11 August 2012 (Up to 45% off)

A mere 100 metres from the Olympic Village, 250 tonnes of sand and 40 palm trees afford Foreman’s Fish Island a glorious monopoly on chilling out in true style. The Riviera at the venue brings a little bit of Rhode Island chic to the shores of London's east end, while hospitality suites, a beach bar, and decadent dining help to provide a cornucopia of indulgences. From delicate arrangements of quail eggs and ham hock to the twist and glint of a little English fizz, the restaurant focuses on sourcing its ingredients from the UK's land and seas. An exhibition exploring the life of Mohammed Ali doesn't pull any punches when it comes to striking black and white photographs and memorabilia, while the loungers and sun sails outside offer plenty of scope for dedicated digestion.

Breakfasters can take their seats in the restaurant for a set meal that will begin with a glass of English bubbly and the cool caress of orange or grapefruit juice. Fresh croissants and pastries will follow, as will a granola of oat, lemon, and cranberries, chilled fruit cups, and blueberries with lemon curd yoghurt. The main event could be hot smoked salmon and hollandaise, or a duo of rare breed sausage and bacon. Teas and coffees can accompany the breakfast, and diners can then stroll around the Riviera and soak up the atmosphere until 2am.

Reviews

While still waiting to be widely reviewed, Forman's Fish Island was rated 3.5/5 byTripAdvisor users. Though some opinions varied, visitors praised the location and friendly staff while special mentions went to the quality of the cuisine itself.

Smoked salmon and scambled egg is one of my favourites, whether at home or elsewhere, and here they do it well, along with other savouries, washed down with a selection of English sparkling and other wines plus decent coffee. Well worhtt [sic] a visit.

We had a lovely brunch, the service was fairly slow, but on a Saturday morning it was nice not to feel rushed, the staff were all very polite and friendly. The breakfast was delicious, eggs both poached and scrambled were perfect - and the sausage was one of the best I have ever had.
