If there’s one thing in life that’s better than brunch then it’s bottomless brunch, especially the morning after the night before. “How do you like your eggs in the morning?" Forget the kiss, we’ll take ours with bottomless Bellinis… In London, everyone’s favourite mealtime has gone mega and we’re not just talking free coffee refills with your Eggs Royale. Think boutique hotels, Japanesestyle izakayas, bountiful Bloody Marys, and endless Mimosas: Here are the six best bottomless brunches in London.
Whether or not you’re staying at the South Place Hotel, you'll still get the chance to sample its weekend bottomless brunch, served from noon to 4 p.m. Either make your way to its home in the heart of the City or rise late from one of the boutique hotel’s impeccably designed rooms. Eat London cured salmon and scrambled eggs or chorizo sausage and fried duck egg while sipping endless Mimosas.
Price: £22.50 for two courses, plus £15.00 for bottomless drinks
Flesh and Buns is one of London’s only bottomless brunches where the food is topped up as quickly as the drinks. Located in a dimly-lit Covent Garden basement, the restaurant serves a range of Japanese comfort food. Fluffy Hirata buns stuffed with various meats are the signature dish, and you’ll need plenty of free-flowing Prosecco to wash them down. You have two hours to eat and drink as much as you wish. Simple.
Price: £39/£45 (depending on choice of menu) includes bottomless drinks
On top of great beer and live jazz, The Great Exhibition does a mean brunch. But not just any brunch. A typical Saturday at the charming, traditional neighbourhood pub means an excuse to recline with the weekend papers, eat the classic full English breakfast, and consume as much Bloody Mary or Mimosa as you desire. Our kind of start to the weekend…
Price: £20 for one breakfast dish and bottomless drinks
Poached eggs with salmon, French toast with candied bacon, bottomless Bellinis, and a side of glamour? Don’t mind if we do. A visit to Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings is an experience in which the brunch might be eclipsed by the venue. Resembling one gigantic terrarium that houses both you and an array of plant life, Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings is a fancy place to eat and drink un-fancy amounts.
To compound your stylish day, head for the nearby Zetter Hotel -- surely you’ll be tired after all that mid-afternoon eating and drinking? -- and retire to one of its stunning boutique rooms that comes with city views.
Price: Main courses vary, £16 for bottomless drinks
If eggs, pancakes, and bacon aren’t your thing, then the Infinity Brunch at Aqua Kyoto could be the one for you. The luxurious Japanese restaurant has the most expensive brunch in London that we’ve found -- but it includes Champagne. Along with a deluxe selection of sushi and grilled yakitori, guests receive two hours of bottomless Veuve Clicquot in opulent surroundings.
Price: £55 per person includes bottomless Champagne
One Canada Square serves up the refined bottomless brunch experience; well, as refined as a restaurant can make a brunch where they’re offering unlimited alcohol. Think eggs, pancakes, and ox cheek hash accompanied by a choice of unlimited Prosecco, Bloody Mary, or Raspberry Bellinis.
Since it's located 30 minutes from central London, you might want to retire to a nearby base among the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. Fraser Place Canary Wharf offers a range of chic serviced apartments conveniently including free use of a fitness centre to work off that epic brunch.
Price: £20 for two courses, plus £20 for bottomless drinks
