Hoi Polloi is an English modern brasserie in Ace Hotel Shoreditch. We had brunch at Hoi Polloi last year and loved it, so were keen on dinner at Hoi Polloi. But, for whatever reason, Hoi Polloi languished on our dinner list, until a very good friend wanted to join us for dinner last weekend. Hoi…

Brother Marcus Spitalfields Review
Brother Marcus is an all day small-plates Mediterranean restaurant in Spitalfields. We are big fans of Mediterranean cuisine and absolutely loved our dinner at Barboun last week, so we were quick to reserve a table at another celebrated Mediterranean restaurant. Plus, I love small-plates (tapas style) restaurants. Needless to say, we were very excited about…
Duck and Waffle
Shiima and I had our first “date” at Duck and Waffle close to five years ago. Date being in quotes because I’d booked dinner at Duck & Waffle, but she thought it was a tad too highfalutin to be the first place we hung out… she wanted somewhere more casual, so we went for an…

We haven’t been to any new breakfast/brunch in a while, hence why we haven’t written about any. But I saw a few friends go to Coppa Club on my Instagram and I was intrigued since it looked beautiful in the pictures. I checked the menu out, it looked pretty good so I went ahead and…

First Impression – Drake & Morgan at King’s Cross

The Breakfast Club
This past Sunday Shiima and I went for breakfast at the relatively new The Breakfast Club in Hackney Wick – actually, it’s very much in Stratford, the new gentrified Stratford … go ahead and call it “New Stratford”. I came across The Breakfast Club on Instagram, I saw a picture of the pancake and I…
