Macondo



Macondo, the latin inspired cafe-cum-gallery in Hoxton Square is definitely one of my favourite things about the neighborhood.  

Their delicious deli selection is always pleasing and not much makes me happier than sitting on Macondo's deck with a slice of tortilla and a Corona.  Oh and their selection of cakes is second to none in the area.  The menu also boasts a reasonably priced cocktails, breakfast and dinner options.  

If you have yet to visit this charming spot, don't hesitate any longer...and if you need any more encouragement they currently have a lunchtime special offer on.

The Brunch Bunch




Our choice Saturday brunch spots.




Evangeline says...THE BREAKFAST CLUB 
The Breakfast Club in Hoxton Square is a kitschy new restaurant featuring a wide variety of breakfast treats and lunch delicacies at reasonable prices.  Its decor is reminiscent of an American-style diner but with a modern twist, and the music is sure to get your toes tapping.  The perfect place for a light-hearted weekend brunch and a well made bloody mary... and make sure you stop in the toilets for some colorful eye-candy! 

Jezebel says...THE GROCERY
The cafe counterpart  to Shoreditch's most  wonderful organic grocery store, The Grocery wins my vote for favourite Saturday brunch spot.  Catering for both meat eaters and vegetarians, the menu offers a range of brunch dishes that promise to satiate most, if not all cravings. The large communal tables and friendly staff provide for a comfortable, cheerful atmosphere.  My suggestion is the vegetarian breakfast complemented by a glass of freshly squeezed juice. 

Scarlett says...THE DINER
Scarlett is feeling particularly listless right now, perhaps because she did not make it to The Diner today for brunch...her comments will follow as soon as she can muster the strength. Rally those internal troops Scarlett.
