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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Hipster environment with great food - love the fried cauliflower!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Nice decor, friendly staff and lovely eggs benedict.

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

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

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

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

Great for weekend brunch. Come only when not hungry, tiny portions.

Service, food, atmosphere, music, furniture

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

Excellent Eggs Benedict Royale

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

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

American staff predominantly = speedy service

Service is sloppy , does not feel like a restaurant due to the amount of Mac books. Food was just off and when you charge £17.50 for fish and chips you give London bad press.

brunch, salmon, juices, scrambled eggs

Amazing ricotta pancakes. Breakfast tip 😉

As a group, this was quite average, verging in bad. All the dishes had the same brownish sauce; bad cream instead of butter; quite rude waiters; missing drinks and the food made me sick 🤢
