The 30 Best Brunch menu in London

“Lovely and freshly cooked food! Massive portions, great value and friendly staff 5*”

“Went there for my wife's birthday dinner and we were so happy with tasty food and excellent service. Drinks from the bar took a while to prepare so eventually we ordered different drinks but other than that everything went well. Happy wife and kids.”

“Truly delicious and exciting food - highly recommend the pani puri and aloo firecracker. We went on a weekday so it was very quiet and a nice ambience. The manager was rude and abrasive to his staff in front of us which was disappointing, but hopefully a one-off.”

“It was my first tasting menu experience ever and I have to say that it was a delightful. The (dream) team: - Joanna was very kind since the beginning; - Chef Patron Sebastian Rast and his team made a great job in kitchen. Very quiet and effective. Absolutely masters! The food: I totally destroyed the wrong concept about gourmet food (gourmet is tasteless or/and not fulfilling). Every single dish was an explosion of flavours. Absolutely stunning! The ambience: Loved the decoration in tones of black and brown and somehow shady and minimalist. I can’t recommend this place enough! Price vs quality outstanding! Congratulations!”

“Insane breakfast. Halal, filling and flavorful. More halal options would be amazing. Otherwise 100% delicious! We had the Astro halal and would highly recommend if you like a salty savory breakfast with a side of fruit. Coming back!”

“Good cafe. Been coming here for a few years and have never been disappointed. Good selection of food and the bubble & squeak is this best I have ever had. The lovely man who runs the cafe is so lovely and friendly. Highly recommend this cafe.”

“It's simply one of the best coffee shops in Hackney. Really, they do great coffee. It's also a carefully curated grocery, where each bottle of wine, beer and food is chosen with a keen and discerning eye. The owners are lovely people, proud to call it my local coffee shop!”

“Came in with my boyfriend ordered 2 patties for a quick munch. I am usually intimidated by Caribbean restaurants as customer service isn’t always great. But the lady and the man in the shop running the place were so welcoming and polite and lovely and made us feel comfortable. The patties were gorgeous and hot and decently priced. Will only come here from now and can’t wait to try other food. Thank you ! X”

“Excellent food and coffee, with friendly staff and great service, would definitely recommend trying this little cafe out.”

“The desserts at this place are amazing. The waffles and the cookie dough at this place beats all other places. Makes Cream look average. Honestly, presentation to taste this was 10/10 for me. Highly recommend this place.”

“Very basic but priced accordingly sandwiches. Lovely little cafe environment with coffee, milkshakes, smoothies, and more. Good WiFi. But the standout was the service! Everyone was on point and super hospitible. I'll be back, prob every other day since I'm too lazy to make my own sandwiches.”

“The food was excellent, and the staff is really kind, everything was perfect for me”

“Very welcoming, amazing food and great service. We came for breakfast/brunch and they did not disappoint. Thank you!”

“We went on Wednesday evening, we were greeted with a smile and showed to our table. The staff were extremely friendly and polite, and guide you with the menu. The setting is very nice and parking is easy to find. The food was quite tasty. We got the Calamari, Wings and the Prawn Tempura for starters. For the mains we got the lamb chops, wagyu surf and turf, wagyu sirloin and the wagyu t-bone steak.. and we enjoyed our food. Would I go back there again? YES! Our steaks were amazing and full of flavour,the customer service was amazing, and the overall experience was very personal. So yes, gets a 5 outta 5. Good hidden gem.”

“A chefs perspective of ottos it could not get more French when you walk in your transported to France. The owner is a French as they come! I thought the goats cheese soufflé was one of the best starters I’ve ever had. The scallops were also as good as it gets. The service on the starters wasn’t the best they got our starters mixed up the front of house manager took our order so that was his bad the younger waiter had to take the embarrassment for it!. I did find the front of house manager abir all the place pacing up and down the restaurant looking quite bored at times but he is good with customer with his old school approach and jokes and he’s certainly knows what he’s doing. It was quiet that night so maybe that was the mistake and the pacing up and down. As for the rack of lamb the theatre was great but the lamb was as good as roar in my opinio. I forgot how rare the French cook meat. That ruined it for me and in my opinion English peolple think that is to under cooked the worst part was the fat had not been rendered down and was very raw and tough also the whole lamb was under seasoned and it needed some sort of peas maybe as a purea?! It ruined rhe meal for me I said to my sister I’ve only cooked a rack of lamb a few times so these guys should get it bang on cooking it most nights but they messed it up big time! They should ask how you want it cooked because once it’s been carved that’s it you will have to flash it in a pan which will ruin it to cook it more! execute the cooking right b4 you bring the theatre out I would say I have never had pomme soufflés b4 I wanted to get them to see what the hype is about they were exactly how they should be looks wise a work of art crafted by a mater of his trade! They are extremely hard to make so hats of ro the chef who did them for me sadly as I expected rhe flavour was not great just like a crisp with no seasoning the salt had not even stuck to them again all about the theatre but lacking in seasoning. They would be better served with some sort of Hollandaise or aioli not the jus. The Apple tart was to die for and the chocolate pot and the after dinner truffles were not very impressive . It’s a great restaurant I would not return I would say it’s the sort of place most people would only go once I would not say it’s worth the price tag for normal people anyway. I know my food and how hospitality runs so I like to leave an honest chefs review of restaurants. I would like to say the younger guys in the team were very professional and knew what they were doing shame they have to make up mistakes of others but it was an experience I wanted to show my sister a higher class of food and service and it did deliver just a shame rhe lamb was not right. Whej it came to the bill I was not willing to pay the 12.5% tip I wanted to tip what I thought it was worth they wanted £30 service charge well I put 10£ for it and of course like all fancy places and most places in general in london they make you feel bad for it and it can create a scene my £10 was a fair tip they shpuid of been happy with considering the service they had given me and tbh this bugs me about these places I’m not from the 1% my bill is already very expensive why embarrass me in front of other guests and my sister not all guests have endless amounts of money and don’t take it personally if people cannot pay the service charge it’s optional some people are hard up and save for a meal like this. Thanks to ottos for the experience it’s something I will not forgot the French know how to eat drink and live that’s for sure there food brings joy all round the globe they are very passionate people when it comes to hospitality.”

“Lovely little place! I found them on Instagram and after seeing the daily cakes etc posted on there I had to check them out. I went on a Saturday morning, sat outside and had a lovely brunch (Eggs Benedict) and chatted to a couple of ladies outside whilst we all had coffee too. I then treated myself to an amazing cake that I took home for later! Service and food was great. I plan to go back tomorrow morning :)”

“Nice friendly owner, Clean and can see food being cooked. Brilliant value for money and the food is great quality. I will definitely be going back soon.”

“Where should I start the staff were very friendly the food is delicious the service was perfect this is the right place if you wanna try Algerian food”

“This is an amazing looking place. Completely unique. The nexus is interesting and everything is reasonably priced, especially considering its location. Ate here today. Quirky relaxed dining area, with reasonably priced food for the location.”

“Ordered some food for take away, first time ordering from here and was recommended by my friend that the breakfast here was really good. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, as I wasn't sure what to order and what I could get as take away. We got the pancakes nutella and toasty mediterranean. The food looked amazing and tasted great, would definitely recommend it. I also overheard another customer asking for their eggs to be changed to well done and the staff immediately redid their egg for them without a moments hesitation, thumbs up from me. The cafe was very comfortable and had a welcoming environment. I even noticed a corner with a doll house for children to keep themselves occupied if need be. Edit: went back again for the Turkish sandwich and ice vanilla latte, such a taste bud delight”

“I went here twice for a “traditional English” breakfast (during my trip to London) and it was delicious. Stuff was very friendly and food was what we expected for fair price. :) lovely place”

“The Guinness is one of the best in London. Oh the chips with Roast chicken mayo is something else.”

“Hidden gem in NW10. Authentic Portuguese at a very reasonable price. The chicken is delicious, the beer is cold and the staff are great. What more could one want?”

“It was my first time here and I really enjoyed it. I’ve been living in this area for so many years, and I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed such a place before. It’s truly wonderful — both the food and the warm welcome from the staff. Thank you very much for everything, everything was perfect. I look forward to visiting again.”

“Selda is amazing . So lovely and welcoming. She remembers us every time we walk in. The food is really good quality Especially the chocolate milk shake and hot chocolate and omelettes”

“We attended a wedding on Saturday the 26th of July. The food was amazing. We had such a wonderful time. Beautiful couple, beautiful venue.”

“Great music, great atmosphere. For a blackman I did not feel out of place at all with my Serb wife. People from the Balkans are completely different from white brits. Much friendlier and welcoming.”

“Very good and delicious dishes freshly prepared in the kitchen. The cappuccino is very good (I'm Italian) and the apple walnut cake is excellent. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable. Family-friendly atmosphere, with very light and pleasant music. The restroom with baby changing facilities is not suitable for wheelchair access. Highly recommended.”

“Interesting breakfasts options, and tasty ones. I tried Turkish eggs for the first time, and with that yogurt and sourdough it was delicious. Flat white was milkier than I'd expect but good anyway. The waitress was friendly, and in general, the place has a good vibe, it wasn't crowded or noisy.”

“Popped in for lunch. I had beans and cheese jacket potato - which was delicious. Fluffy potato inside with lots of butter - and crispy outsides. My wife had the club day breakfast #1 which she enjoyed. Service was prompt and polite and I love the paintings no the walls!”
