The 6 Best Brunch in Marylebone
Village high street brunches for people who like their eggs with a side of quiet money and Sunday morning calm.
In short: our top picks are Fischer's, Granger & Co Marylebone and Chiltern Firehouse. 6 places in total, chosen on merit, with the full reasoning below.
Marylebone does brunch like a village that happens to sit in zone 1: independent cafes, one very famous celebrity hotel dining room, and enough Viennese pastry to make you forget you’re a ten minute walk from Oxford Street. This isn’t a bottomless brunch postcode; it’s a linger over coffee and the papers postcode, and the venues here reward slower mornings rather than boozy afternoons. Granger & Co’s Marylebone room proves the format travels well from Notting Hill, but the neighbourhood’s real character sits in places like Fischer’s, which has barely changed its Viennese menu in over a decade.

Editor’s choice
Fischer's
Why we pick itWiener schnitzel and a kaiserschmarrn pancake alongside soft boiled eggs in cups, in a room dressed to look like 1930s Vienna for over a decade now.
Viennese cafe brunch
-
Granger & Co Marylebone
Why we pick itOpen from 7am on weekdays with the same ricotta hotcakes that made the Notting Hill original famous, plus a sweetcorn fritter stack regulars order without checking the menu.
all-day Australian brunch
-
Chiltern Firehouse
Why we pick itWeekend brunch here means buttermilk pancakes in a converted Victorian fire station, and a booking that needs chasing weeks in advance.
Worth knowingThe food plays supporting act to the scene, decent rather than exceptional for the prices charged, and getting a booking is its own small ordeal.
celebrity hotel brunch
-
108 Brasserie
Why we pick itWaffles and granola on a heated terrace, with a monthly Jazz Brunch on the last Saturday pairing live music with a longer, slower menu.
Worth knowingComfort food done well rather than anything ambitious, which is either exactly right for a weeknight or a mild disappointment at the price.

The Ivy Café Marylebone
Why we pick itRoasted scallops to start and the Ivy Burger to finish, served from 9am on Marylebone Lane with cocktails poured well before noon on Saturdays.
all-day cafe brunch
-
Monocle Cafe
Why we pick itThe Japanese breakfast set of onigiri, sweet omelette and silken tofu is the reason regulars pick this compact Chiltern Street cafe over anywhere flashier.
Japanese-leaning breakfast cafe
Before you book
Baker Street or Marylebone stations both work, with most venues clustered along Marylebone High Street and Marylebone Lane. Chiltern Firehouse needs booking well in advance, particularly at weekends. 108 Brasserie’s monthly Jazz Brunch on the last Saturday is worth planning around if you want live music with your waffles.

Most great dinners in London are a means to an end. You eat, you talk, you move on to the bar, the show, the rest of the night. The tasting menu refuses to be that. It is not the warm-up. It is the whole event, the curtain up and the curtain down, three hours that […]
