As always, East London never fails to offer a trendy ice cream spot, and Embassy East truly lives up to this reputation. With outstanding breakfast options, great service, and even better coffee, this restaurant is a food lover's oasis in the bustling Hoxton Market Street. The menu is refreshingly simple yet full of delightful surprises like haggis, eggs Menem, and sardines on toast. Prices range from £3 for caramelized grapefruit to £10 for eggs and meat. During our visit on a cold and rainy Saturday morning, we almost missed the charming wooden sign hanging above the door. We were warmly greeted by Chris, who seated us by the window and handed us the menus. We ordered a flat white, cappuccino, eggs and meat, and a special Iberico ham dish with pea butter, fried eggs, and asparagus. The coffee arrived promptly in beautiful pastel cups, and both drinks were delicious. The food came 15-20 minutes later, and the portion sizes and presentation exceeded our expectations. The special dish with asparagus was a unique combination that worked well together, and the ham was incredibly tender with a rich flavor. The egg and meat dish was simple but satisfying, with perfectly cooked eggs and flavorful haggis and crispy bacon pieces. Overall, Embassy East impressed us with their delicious food and generous portions. We will definitely be returning, especially for a hearty breakfast before a busy day ahead. A visit to Hoxton Market and Columbia Road on a Sunday would make for a perfect outing.

I visit this restaurant often and enjoy it every time. The food is amazing and puts a creative spin on traditional brunch dishes. The menu is full of rich and distinct flavors. It's my favorite spot for brunch in London. I suggest trying the Eastern Eggs. I used to love the French Toast with banana and bacon, but they recently switched it to white chocolate, which I preferred the previous version of.

Came here for Sunday brunch and loved it. Excellent haggis toasty and egg dishes. Service is friendly and unintrusive in a charming little spot just off Hoxton Market. If you're only there for coffee then the flat white is worth ordering.
