Hoi Polloi

Come After 11am Sat/Sunday And A String Quartet Play Their Instrumental Versions Of Songs - From Lady Gaga Through To Michael Jackson. Great Atmosphere, Good Brunch Place, Good Date Place.

Great place for brunch on weekends with classic dishes (Eggs benedict, etc) and nice fresh pressed juices from their own juice bar. After 12.00 a string quartet plays nostalgic 90s and early 00s songs

Get a Shush Bag to drink, the chargrilled octopus or macaroni and cheese (with short rib) as a main, and dark chocolate fondant or Blackberry and Apple crumble as a dessert.

80s style restaurant, went for breakfast, the pancakes are really good! Very good coffee as well, but the space has no natural light. If you don't mind that then it's great!

Mushroom and ricotta on sourdough is good - a little too cheesy! I was jealous of the avocado and poached eggs on cornbread. Great service

Entrance through a florist, nice spacious 80s style layout inside Ace Hotel. Booths reserved for walk-ins. Decent food though a few £ overpriced. Best dishes: fried cauliflower, sticky toffee pudding.

Cocktails were really good. We only had dessert at night and the rosemary caramel ice cream was great. Also weekend breakfast with string quartet was good though bacon a bit too salty for my taste.

Gorgeous decor with a retro glam coupled with modern casual chic look. Love it. Had a nice reasonably priced brunch looking forward to coming for wine & nibbles too

Calm amongst the storm of Shoreditch. Always the most perfect vibe in here. Great for a work meeting lunch too. The staff are all great

A little overpriced, but the food is good. Best part: you can bring your laptop in and work, and the booths have outlets in the walls.

Steak Tartare for starter was lovely. Also amazingly trendy clientele - but still laid back. Get there whilst it's still young to catch the celebs.

Great interior; friendly staff; the coffee is just ok - too frothy; the pineapple and pink grapefruit is excellent, as are the ricotta pancakes. 7.5/10

Lovely atmosphere, great food. A bit pricey for the portions sizes. Coffee quality could be improved. Try the pancakes!

Wonders behind a flower shop. I'm all for narnia-esque entries. Lovely hide away. Food is simple and to the point.

Come for the cocktails and shared plates (we loved the crab salad) or for the New York style weekend brunch.

The food is generally good, however, the portions are on the small side and everything costs a few pounds more than you'd like. They do serve food until 1AM though; perfect for a midnight snack.

Great breakfast, dinner, and cocktails. We eat here at least twice very stay at the Ace.

Beautiful space. Better cocktails than the lobby bar in the Ace. Try the roast chicken and chips.

Hipster environment with great food - love the fried cauliflower!

Come in through the flower shop not the main hotel entrance, if coming in late. They do a late supper menu from 11pm -1am. Very civilised.

Love this place! Amazing staff, fast wifi and the best cream tea & scones ever. I will definitely be back.

Fun vibe and good food and drink. Order before 6:30 and get a three course pre fixe for only £25.

Brilliant string quartet doing covers eg Superfreak and She Wolf on Saturday brunch. Attentive staff and great kedgeree.

Try the absolutely amazing Eggy bread with banana and hoi polloi peanut butter!

The ace hotel restaurant, enter through the flower shop. Try the gnocchi!

The avocado and chili on toast is the best thing I've put in my mouth during this entire trip to London.

Awesome 70s decor, and Great selection of cocktails. Roast chicken is also excellent.

Frighteningly consistent, excellent service. The french toast brunch is perfection, as are the burgers.

Service, food, atmosphere, music, furniture

Staff were really friendly and attentive. Lamb sandwich and French toast is highly recommended!

An amazing bar with highly skilled mixologist. This is an exciting place.... One to watch

During Sunday brunch there was a cool string quartet playing arrangements of everything from Swedish House Mafia to Lorde

Had a toast with perfect avocados, chillies & poached eggs. And a string quartet played "Barbie Girl" & "Oops, I Did It Again".

Cool atmosphere with unique, delicious food & drinks at surprisingly reasonable prices.

The people who work here are so very nice! Plus a section of tables w plugs for charging laptops and phones.

Nice decor, friendly staff and lovely eggs benedict.

the salsify (parsnip) Jerusalem artichoke (sunchoke) and berkswell (cheese) salad? AMAZING.

I love this place. So much so that I'm reluctant to mention that they once ran out of port.

Amazing!!! Top place and even great Staff!!!

Small portions for somewhat pricey food. Goats cheese churros with lavender honey was tasty though, limited vegetarian options unless you want to spend £9 on a hummus sandwich.

Beautiful, good quality wifi, space, I want to go there again!

Excellent Eggs Benedict Royale

The ricotta pancakes were delish. The ice cream sandwich and lemon curd desserts weren't.

Amazing ricotta pancakes. Breakfast tip 😉

Order the Medici almond sorbet and relax in ultra modern surroundings

Great for groups, big tables with power sockets. Win.

Pretty good if you don't mind the prices. Staff is so different than anywhere else.
