Friends Of Ours: Creative Brunch in the Heart of Shoreditch

Nestled between Old Street and Hoxton, Friends Of Ours has established itself as a vibrant neighborhood brunch destination that brings Antipodean-inspired dining to East London. This independent café offers a globally-influenced menu that celebrates fresh, locally-sourced ingredients prepared with creativity and flair.

Signature Dishes and Culinary Approach

The menu at Friends Of Ours is a testament to culinary innovation, with standout dishes including their Japanese Benedict featuring sirloin steak, XO hollandaise and bonito flakes, and their French Toast that's beautifully presented and bursting with seasonal flavors. Their Bacon Focaccia sourced from Dusty Knuckle Bakery has developed a loyal following, while their Hash Browns with manchego cheese offer a delicious twist on a breakfast classic.

Executive Chef Steph curates a menu that draws inspiration from around the world, creating dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. The kitchen team takes pride in their presentation, with each plate carefully crafted to delight both the palate and the eye.

Atmosphere and Experience

The café offers a cozy interior complemented by ample outdoor seating that's perfect for sunny days. The unpretentious wooden furnishings and rotating artwork from local artists create a welcoming atmosphere that encourages lingering over speciality coffee from Dark Arts.

Friends Of Ours is proudly dog-friendly, making it an ideal spot for Shoreditch locals and their four-legged companions. The friendly, attentive service adds to the neighborhood feel that has made this café a community fixture since it was founded by Anthony Dyer and Man Wong.

Whether you're seeking a mid-week working lunch or a lazy weekend brunch, Friends Of Ours delivers a memorable dining experience that celebrates quality ingredients, creative cooking, and the simple pleasure of good food shared with friends.
