Issho-Ni
For an intimate gathering with a couple of friends, head to Bethnal Green’s fantastic Issho-Ni. Just a short walk from the Square Mile, the incredibly friendly Japanese restaurant serves boozy bottomless brunches on Saturdays.
Nibble on wasabi peas before kicking off the brunch with unlimited freshly made sushi, sashimi and maki rolls. Then, if you have room, choose one of the large mains on the menu, which includes a creamy Katsu curry, Wagyu steak or fried aubergine with sesame miso – our favourite! Complement your meal with unlimited prosecco or, if you’re feeling adventurous, a Bloody Geisha, which is a Japanese take on the Bloody Mary. Delicious!

Fish Market
This City seafood spot offers up a super special fishy weekend brunch menu, aptly named ‘brunch off the boat’. For this special experience, diners start off at their very own oyster and Bloody Mary station – yes, they have an entire section dedicated to the two. Guests then move on to starters and main courses, made from fresh and locally sourced seafood that can also be enjoyed with bottomless Prosecco or Moët and Chandon. Because, why not?

Bread Street Kitchen
Gordon Ramsay himself may be slightly terrifying, but his City restaurant is one of the best places to grab a classy bottomless brunch. Choose an egg dish or a main as well as a dessert before downing as many glasses of Prosecco as you can possibly can – testing the waiters’ speed and efficiency in the process. We also love their weekend beef Wellington special for a slightly alternative brunch experience. This bougie British speciality is done to perfection at Bread Street Kitchen and can be complimented by delicious wine pairings.
