Bread Street Kitchen
Gordon Ramsay himself may be slightly
terrifying, but his City restaurant is one of
the best places to grab a classy bottomless
brunch. Choose an egg dish or a main as
well as a dessert before downing as many
glasses of Prosecco as you can possibly can
– testing the waiters’ speed and efficiency
in the process. We also love their weekend
beef Wellington special for a slightly alternative
brunch experience. This bougie British
speciality is done to perfection at Bread
Street Kitchen and can be complimented by
delicious wine pairings.

Issho-Ni
For an intimate gathering with a couple of
friends, head to Bethnal Green’s fantastic
Issho-Ni. Just a short walk from the Square
Mile, the incredibly friendly Japanese restaurant
serves boozy bottomless brunches on
Saturdays.
Nibble on wasabi peas before kicking off
the brunch with unlimited freshly made
sushi, sashimi and maki rolls. Then, if you
have room, choose one of the large mains
on the menu, which includes a creamy Katsu
curry, Wagyu steak or fried aubergine with
sesame miso – our favourite! Complement
your meal with unlimited Prosecco or, if
you’re feeling adventurous, a Bloody Geisha,
which is a Japanese take on the Bloody
Mary. Delicious!
Make sure you book ahead as the weekend
brunches are very popular with Londoners
and tourists alike. We can’t wait to go again!
One of the City of London’s best bottomless
brunches.

Fish Market
This City seafood spot offers up a super
special fishy weekend brunch menu. For this
special experience, diners start off at their
very own oyster and Bloody Mary station –
yes, they have an entire section dedicated
to the two. Guests then move on to starters
and main courses, made from fresh and
locally sourced seafood that can also be
enjoyed with bottomless Prosecco or Moët
and Chandon. Because, why not?

Sky Brunch at Shangri-La,
The Shard
Ideal for a big celebration and one of the City
of London’s best bottomless brunches, the
Sunday brunch at the Shard’s luxury restaurant
is one for the books. Enjoy a welcome glass
of Champagne before tucking into delicious
cuisine with unrivalled views of the City. You
can also upgrade to bottomless Veuve Clicquot
Yellow Label Brut NV Champagne and a
choice of three courses for a little extra. The
pan-Asian brunch menu includes Hainanese
chicken rice, pad Thai and aromatic duck, so
you can enjoy the brunch at any hour. Finish
your experience with caramelised pear,
crème brûlée, or a cute mochi selection.

Ivy City Garden
When it comes to brunch, Ivy City Garden
is not messing about. Located in Bishopsgate,
the menu is bursting at the seams
with options to choose from. Whether you
decide to try the duck liver mandarin parfait
with a toasted brioche, lobster linguine or
even the steak tartare (an Ivy classic), you
won’t be disappointed with the dedicated
weekend brunch menu. It’s the perfect
place to dine with fussy eaters, as you’re
sure to find a dish for every taste. We can’t
wait to try the hot buttermilk pancakes
with a glass of Ivy Collection Champagne.
