A go to place to have a wonderful filling breakfast with a very nice ambience and atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful,the service is prompt and punctual and the hygiene is always up to standards.
Excellent place to have an early filling breakfast with the freshest ingredients and at the best prices, prompt and punctual service with the help of a very friendly and professional staff.
Amazing place in London. I love the food. can’t wait to come back here again. Congratulations to the staff.
There is a lot to be said about receiving banter from the waiters. It leads to an entertaining meal. From a two second introduction to customers, there is particular skill in being able to gauge what type of reception would be welcome. I think again to a particular restaurant that I know which would anticipate a customer’s every need without a word. Even silently changing the placing for a left handed diner to better suit different dexterity.
Highly entertaining and very busy. Well worth a trip. The family-run cafe which is clearly far more than just a cafe to most diners. Food was nice and good value. Lots of choices. Staff very welcoming and up for chatting. This is the total opposite of a modern chain and this sort of business is getting rare.
This is cafe is famous because of its good food. Crazy rt because it's SO affordable. Got the homemade minestrone, homemade Cannelloni & the English breakfast. The food and the atmosphere is good but what makes this place great are the owners. They definitely make you feel at home and can't wait to see them again. Recommend them all!
How can such good food, happy ambience and incredibly welcoming service get even better in time? Yet that’s exactly what the pellicci family have managed to achieve. A warm, cosy space in the middle of Bethnal Green where no one feels left out. And those (double-fried) chips!
Well worth a trip great food very friendly staff, reasonably-priced and a good menu for all. Old style cafe not many about any more full marks.
Lives up to its great reputation! Super place, both people and pocket friendly. I had the great vegetarian breakfast platter and an iced coffee. Expect the coffee to be strong, I liked it as is. The breakfast was of a good standard, my favorite parts being bubble & squeak and fried toast (pure indulgence!). The tiramisu looked promising but I was too full even for dessert.
Old school cafes are rare to come by with the ever-increasing rents rocketing every year in London. Cafes find it hard to stay in business and I’ve seen many close down selling their business to another franchise. I am so glad that E. Pellicci has stayed in business. Rumour has it that famous Kray brothers use to frequent this East End café in Bethnal Green back in the days.
Great English breakfast! Well seasoned and flavourful. Fairly sizeble portion sizes as well. Lovely kind staff who were friendly and a lot of fun.
Note that it's cash only, though there is a handy cash withdrawal right across the road.
A bit out of the way but worth the travel for what was truly one of the best full English I've had in London.
Best come early though! I came at 830am on a Sat and could get a table right away, but by 9 there was quite a line (as seen in the pictures).
Worth the long queue, we had the heartiest feast comprised of their Full English Breakfast (Have the Lot - Meat, £15.5), Chicken Escalope (£15.4) with Lasagne (£13.2) and Cannelloni (£13.2).
We were sat on a tight space inside a homey art deco style room imbued with constant chatters and commotion. They take orders when we were in line at the queue so everything happens pretty fast, service was amazing and the staff was friendly. It was definitely a great experience worth more returning visits for a casual dining with great hearty food.
It’s been nearly a year since I went here for breakfast and I still think about the fry up I had here. Honestly, it was the best breakfast I had in my entire life. My wife and I shared a table with another couple on the patio under the awning out front. Truly a great time. They didn’t take card at the time and I’m not sure if they do now, but there is a ATM just a few doors down.
Always a pleasure to dine there. Arrive at 845 on a Saturday morning and we've just managed to sit on the last available table for 4.
Service as usual, excellent. Portion is way too generous for 1 so we have to share. Thus, making the meal affordable.
Needless to say, deli......cious!
10/10 will go back again. And again. And again
And again
The staff was amazing. The food was the best breakfast I ever had in London. It was worth the wait..
Absolutely fantastic place to have a drink or a bite. Well, I say "a bite" but their breakfast options are no joke. They definitely don't skimp on the portions here, and there are plenty of options if you're vegetarian too! Besides the food the atmosphere is absolutely brilliant and there is always time for a chat with the staff, and jokes too! Will definitely return there, also to try their lunch options!
We had to get a full English breakfast while in London and I started looking up reccomendations online right away. This restaurant is amazing! We arrived and there was quite a line but I had my heart set. While we were waiting we were greeted with se fresh hot chips and a hilarious and friendly server. Next, we were provided a menu while lined up to get an idea of what we wanted and then our order was taken before we even had a seat which was a great way to keep things prompt. The food was amazing! I had the full breakfast and added bubble & squeak, my husband was not sold on the idea of black pudding but I convinced him to try it and he loved that too. We both left soooo full and happy. The prices were great, food was fantastic and the servers were so friendly even though they were SWAMPED. Just a warning- the restaurant is cash only so come prepared!
Decent place with big portions of Italian food. I ordered the penne bolognese and it was big size. The glass of house wine was a very generous serving. Which was nice. The neighbourhood was a bit sketchy with an interesting crowd. I was told to be careful with my bag sitting on the table outside. I ordered twice with two seperate people a glass of water and it did not arrive. Overall not bad, good value.
Had to experience this place after hearing the hype of it being one of the best Fry up Breakfasts in London. It did not disappoint, well worth the wait, however the queue got really long quite quickly so I'd arrive early
Really good English breakfast. Got the “all the meats” and it was huge so could easily feed two. My personal favourite was the fried bread and the mushrooms. Service was friendly as well. Do go early as in the mid morning after 9 it seems like there’s a queue.
The scrambled egg was not great though as it’s thoroughly overcooked.
