This pocket of East London that merges into Shoreditch and Haggerston may be small but it certainly has a lot going on, especially when it comes to breakfast and brunch. These are the best places to grab a morning meal in Hoxton.

Mama Shelter London Shoreditch

Mama’s Bottomless Brunch taking place across Saturdays and Sundays, will boast playful vibes and flirty fun. Guests will enter the flamboyant, friendly and sexy Garden Bar and be welcomed by the DJ Simo playing the freshest beats on the decks.

Priced from £49.00 per person and available to book between 12:00am and 3:00pm for up to eight guests, Mama’s top chefs will be cooking up a storm, delivering the most delicious seasonal dishes to groups and duos looking to let their hair down at the weekend. There are menu options available to suit all budgets, each including 90 minutes of Bottomless Prosecco with the addition of the new Chandon Spritz from Moet and Hennessy and expertly mixed Cocktail selection.

Cocotte

Like its sister restaurant, Soho’s 10 Greek Street, Cocotte is known for excellent modern European cookery, great wine and top service. Their brunch menu is short and classic – eggs Benedict, fried breakfast, huevos rotos, waffles with summer berries – with the omelette, aubergine, peas & goats cheese being the most inventive dish there. Simple though they may be, every dish is well executed, proving that good food doesn’t always have to be complicated.

Smokey Tails

The pop-up-turned-permanent restaurant from renowned DJ Seth Troxler, Joe Vidler and Jona Aherne celebrates the home-cooked BBQ food of Troxler’s childhood, so there’s no avocado on toast here. The Smokey Tails bottomless brunch features both unlimited food – you can choose from pancakes with fruit compote, brioche French toast with fried chicken, bacon & maple syrup or cherry cola gammon and fried eggs – and unlimited booze. With a DJ involved, you can be sure that the soundtrack to your brunch is always on point too.

100 Hoxton

As 100 Hoxton is an Asian-European fusion restaurant, they’ve put a bit of different spin on brunch, so you’ll see dishes like spiced sea bass kedgeree, koroke Korean croquette with poached eggs and chilli dressing, and burnt eggplant salad with toasted coconut, apple and beetroot on the menu alongside more classic French toast and mushrooms on toast. Even their drink options for a bottomless brunch are different, with Aperol spritz and boozy slushies available.

Ginger Pig Cafe

For a simple, decent and well-priced brunch in Hoxton, head to The Ginger Pig Café. The obligatory avocado on toast is present on the menu, joined by only a handful of dishes – one meat and one veggie fried breakfast, an American breakfast with pancakes and bacon, sweetcorn fritters with poached eggs, and steak and eggs. Only the latter dish is above £10 in price and even the Bloody Marys come in at £6.

The Breakfast Club

The Hoxton restaurant is one of nine Breakfast Clubs in London, so that should give you some idea of how popular the place has become. Breakfast is in their name and it’s certainly what they do best. Decked out like a diner, albeit with mismatched furniture and eclectic paraphernalia, the Breakfast Club will definitely help you to wake up (or fight a hangover). The menu is extensive, we’re talking pancakes, waffles, breakfast burritos, Benedicts, things on toast, fry ups – they really do have all bases covered.
