41. Hoi Polloi

25th January 2014, Hoi Polloi at Ace Hotel, Shoreditch, London

I love brunch, I love a funny name and I love a venue with a cool atmosphere and interesting people (read: pretentious East London haunts). Having been to the sister restaurant, Bistrotheque quite a few times, Hoi Polloi was added to my list of things to do and spots to try out as soon as it opened.

Waking up after a Friday night in planning our trip to the Caribbean, me and the lovely Hell's Bells were starving and my Bloody Mary addiction had not been seen to for several weeks. Disaster!

The best thing with going to brunch with Hell's Bells is the extra pancake plate. Always. Which means that I can enjoy my eggs and still get pancakes. I love pancakes. However, the Bloody Mary in this place - not so much. Very bland.

The highlight of our Hoi Polloi visit was however finally booking our trip to the Dominican Republic, 8 days of the beach and luxury brunch on tap and it's only six weeks to go!

By the way - Hoi Polloi is Latin for the common people. Pretentious East London Haunt was it?


One very bland Bloody Mary....
 
The mandatory pancake side plate!

One very yummy duck egg with mushrooms.

Mmmmmm, brunch...!
