Ah, brunch. Breakfast’s more sociable cousin, the only acceptable way to order a cocktail before noon: there’s no doubt in our mind that it’s the most important meal of the day. And you can forget eggs and coffee – London’s best spots make a strong case for dedicating the whole afternoon to our favourite event meal with drool-worthy menus, drinks packages for the occasion… and settings that do their bit for the group photo.
Having put in some serious research (hey, someone’s got to do it), here are the best bottomless brunches in London. Now all you need to do is clear your weekend and assemble the group chat…
Inko Nito, Soho
Weekend brunch at Inko Nito is nothing short of spectacular. Bringing Japanese and Korean influences to Soho, with sharing plates for the table before everyone chooses a main and shares dessert, expect edamame, pork dumplings and chirashi temaki, followed by robata-inspired favourites. For an extra special touch, the open grill gives the meal a little theatre, while free-flowing red, white or sparkling wine can be added to the £38 brunch for £15 per person. It’s a lively – and delicious – alternative to the usual eggs-and-bubbles formula. We’ll certainly be back.
£62 per person for four courses and two hours of bottomless drinks,inkonitorestaurant.com
Bocconcino, Soho
Start with Italian antipasti, then settle in for pizza and pasta with free-flowing drinks and a DJ-led soundtrack. On our visit, the black truffle tagliatelle was the dish we kept thinking about afterwards: buttery, rich and worth the supplement. The fresh Vegetariana pizza and generous refills made the table feel especially well looked after. It’s glamorous without feeling stiff, and one of the brunches we’d happily return to.
Did someone say unlimited desserts? OXBO Bankside turns brunch into a proper Sunday occasion: On our visit, the Chef’s Traders Table was piled with unlimited starters, from vibrant salads and cheeses to charcuterie and warm vegetable dishes, before eggs royale or pancakes from the open kitchen. The main event was a roast with all the trimmings, while vegetarian diners had pumpkin and sage ravioli; naturally, dessert was unlimited, too. Add free-flowing prosecco and wine, a relaxed riverside setting and attentive service, and you have a generous, leisurely feast.
£62 per person for four courses and two hours of bottomless drinks, www.oxbobankside.co.uk
Skylon, Southbank
For brunch with a view and a soundtrack, Skylon makes an easy South Bank choice. Set inside the Royal Festival Hall, its dining room looks over the Thames, while Saturday’s Jukebox Brunch brings live acoustic music from a roaming four-piece band. The weekend menu spans brunch favourites and seasonal dishes, with free-flowing prosecco available to make it bottomless. It’s a polished setting for a birthday or pre-show catch-up, but the music keeps the mood delightfully sociable rather than formal.
£59 per person for two courses or £64 for three courses, including 90 minutes of bottomless bubbles,skylon-restaurant.co.uk
PIRAÑA, St James’s
Sushi fans, meet your own personal heaven. PIRAÑA’s Sunday “Dive” puts the food centre stage, with a bottomless cold buffet of sushi and Nikkei favourites: think maki rolls, nigiri, crunchy tuna cones, ceviche and tuna tataki. That’s alongside bottomless hot dishes to share, including crispy squid, gyoza and udon. The £85 food package is a feast in its own right; add 90 minutes of drinks, from prosecco or Bellinis to Veuve Clicquot, and you have a full-blown Mayfair occasion with serious party energy.
From £130 per person: £85 for bottomless plates, plus £45 for bottomless prosecco or Bellini. The champagne option brings it to £150,piranalondon.com
La Bibliothèque, Haggerston
La Bibliothèque gives bottomless brunch an arty East London twist. Its menu draws on Mediterranean and Japanese influences, starting with milk bread before a starter and main, with dessert available as an extra. For the full celebration, the brunch can be paired with 90 minutes of unlimited prosecco and cocktails. It feels more considered than the standard bottomless package, ideal for foodies, and with a distinctive restaurant setting on Kingsland Road. A good pick for a group that wants interesting plates as well as the bubbles.
There’s a reason 1 Lombard Street’s “The best boozy bottomless brunch spot in London”. The Grade II-listed former City banking hall building’s glass cupola brings plenty of occasion to the room, while the restaurant’s Saturday bottomless brunch runs from noon until 5pm. It’s a smart choice for a celebration or a long catch up in the Square Mile, boasting brunch favourites and bottomless seasonal sharing sides, with the historic architecture doing as much to set the scene as the menu. If your ideal brunch leans elegant and central, Lombard Street is an especially strong contender.
Now, this is a view that can’t be beaten. Darwin Brasserie pairs weekend brunch with one of London’s most dramatic dining room views: the restaurant sits on Level 36 of Sky Garden, overlooking the Thames and the City. Its Saturday brunch menu and Sunday roast both come with the option to add bottomless prosecco. The menu leans British, and booking a window table can bring the skyline even closer. It’s a particularly good option for visitors or a special occasion, with the Sky Garden setting turning brunch into an unforgettable London experience. £79 per person for two courses or £89 for three courses, including 90 minutes of bottomless prosecco,skygarden.london
Smith & Wollensky, Covent Garden
How about some decadent steakhouse indulgence for brunch? Smith & Wollensky’s menu includes a buttery Lobster Benedict, Nashville-style fried chicken with waffles and maple syrup, and a loaded hash, followed by American pancakes for anyone still holding out for something sweet. The 90-minute drinks packages range from prosecco and Aperol Spritz to champagne. Set by the river in Covent Garden, it’s a substantial, polished option for readers who want their brunch to be a decadent lunch rather than a light breakfast.
Brunch is à la carte; add £26 per person for 90 minutes of bottomless prosecco, £39 for Aperol Spritz or £59 for champagne,smithandwollensky.co.uk/bottomless-brunch
