These plates are to be shared rather than for one person, they are smaller in size but you will WANT to share these. The food was excellent, 10/10. The sea bream and chicken was delicious and well balanced. The service was fantastic, we visited here on Octber 31st around 6-7 PM and the staff was wonderful! I wish I could remember our waitresses name, she looked like a doll. She helped us in choosing our dishes and her recommendations were exactly what we needed! Highly recommend.

I visited this restaurant to celebrate my best friend’s boyfriend’s birthday. The staff was friendly and attentive. They started the meal with complimentary, refreshing lemon and cucumber mock-tail shots, followed by delectable baklava. I opted for the fried chicken with extra halloumi, and the presentation was impressive. The flavors were equally delightful. The restaurant’s interior exudes elegance and charm, while the bathroom was spotlessly clean. The prices are reasonable, making it an affordable option for a special occasion. I highly recommend this place. Don’t miss the opportunity to try their mouthwatering croissants as well.

Emily’s service is amazing! She’s an angel and made our dinner become to a happier experience. My favorite dish is the bream. Least favorite is the fried eggplant skewer…it’s very oily I don’t know why it’s been highly recommended. The pork rib eye is also nice. Nice service and atmosphere!

I talk a lot about best hospitality experiences in my podcast (Captive Conversations) self plug. I have not been to Brother Marcus before, this lunch visit was fantastic, from the moment I walked in and had such a lovely greeting, my guests were already there and I was taken to my table, 30 seconds later offered a complimentary drink. The waiters were lovely. We opted for Marcus’ Choice, the waiter said don't worry we will look after you and they really did. As to youcan see from the food below it was awesome. I actually missed some dishes as we polished them off too quickly. One main standout was Eden, she was so friendly and helpful. This has been one of my best hospitality experiences to date, also has a great location i will be back very soon and sharing this amazing brand with friends and colleagues ** I want paid for this comment, it was just that good.

Very tasty! Popped by there for lunch on their official opening day and had a great experience. The menu has a great selection and is based on a sharing concept. The food is delicious and flavoursome. We only had 3 dishes and we were suitably full and satisfied. The sea bream has a great delicate flavour and well seasoned, the grilled Halloumi comes in a sizzling pan (and the watermelon works really well), and the sweet potato fritters were very filling. The complimentary baklava was a nice touch and just the correct sized sweet treat to round off our lunch. The decor is tasteful and the restaurant has a lovely balcony overlooking the small courtyard, so is great to watch the world go by.

Really tasty food. The avocado is smooth, the bacon is perfect, the beans sauce is heavenly. The decor and music is great. We were looking for a brunch this morning and Brother Marcus in Covent Garden just hit the spot perfectly. Service was quick and the tiny blemishes about late dishes were rectified quickly. The staff were attentive and helped quickly. Ella in particular was our host and made us feel welcome. We have gluten and dairy dietary restrictions and all were catered for brilliantly. I am not sure about coeliac status

Had a great lunch! I started with their spicy margarita - it packed a nice kick but was deliciously balanced. For the main course, I enjoyed a hearty plate of eggs with sausage, creamy avocado, and crisp cabbage. The combination of flavors and textures was spot-on. What really stood out was the service - the staff were attentive and quick, ensuring I had everything I needed without being intrusive. The food came out promptly, and everything was fresh and well-presented. Overall a great dining experience. Whether you're looking for a satisfying brunch or a relaxing lunch spot with a bit of a kick to start, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try! Ah… they even have a nice outdoor space in case you want to have your food and enjoy fresh air.

Really can t fault the Covent Garden branch. Went to celebrate my friend s birthday and from the moment we stepped in until we left, the staff - special shout-out to Soniya who was absolutely lovely, the food and the atmosphere were top notch! I also find the prices very reasonable for central London. They catered all our dietary needs and even brought a lactose free cake so I could also enjoy with my friend (although she had no food allergies). You can definitely feel the dedication and hospitality. Will definitely come back! Vegetarian options: Good variety of veg portions Dietary restrictions: Not many lactose free options but I m happy I went with the Brother Marcus breakfast as it was just the right amount of food for me.

An amazing experience from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. The team were welcoming at the door, knew it was my birthday and engaged with me about my day. Our waitress Sonia was brilliant, sweet and sincere. She explained the food options, offered advice and shared her favourites of the menu. The team were very catering to dietary needs and ensures we were looked after throughout the meal. To top up the experience, a delicious surprise cake was present to celebrate my birthday! The food was spot on, great portions and tasty - along with the cocktails! Highly recommend visiting. Vegetarian options: Great options for vegetarians, had options to add eggs, sides etc. Dietary restrictions: Tailed to dietary requirements of lactose intolerance.

My friend and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Brother Marcus, a stunning new Mediterranean restaurant in Covent Garden, on Saturday night and I m already planning my next visit! From the moment we walked in, the interior immediately captured my attention. The decor is an elegant fusion of warm, earthy tones and vibrant Mediterranean-inspired elements, perfectly complementing the rich, flavourful cuisine that awaits. It truly felt like stepping into a welcoming corner of the Mediterranean. Our experience was made even more memorable by the exceptional service provided by Tamika A. Her warmth, attentiveness, and expert knowledge of the menu created an atmosphere of genuine hospitality. Tamikas recommendations were spot on each dish she suggested elevated our experience. A massive personal thank you to her! Now, onto the food it was nothing short of divine. The dishes were incredibly authentic, packed with fresh, bold flavours. The halloumi was a standout, perfectly balanced between sweet and savoury, a harmonious treat for the taste buds. The taramasalata was rich and velvety, a delightful dip that had us wanting more. And the baklava? Quite possibly the best I ve ever had flaky, sweet, and perfectly spiced. Everything from the ambiance to the food to the exceptional service made for an unforgettable meal. I can t recommend Brother Marcus enough a true Mediterranean haven in the heart of Covent Garden. I will definitely be returning soon, and I cannot wait to savour more of their wonderful dishes!

Truly joyless rosti more like a hard baked potato cake than a proper rosti , cramped seating kinda felt like being upstairs in a mcdonalds. The staff were well trained , the drinks are good and its priced OK. Im mystified as to why it has a 4.9 rating .

Brother Marcus is an experience. From the host that greets you like an old friend, to the waiters that make you feel right at home, to the ambience and aesthetics that lends itself to long breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner dates with your favourite people, this place is truly special. We stumbled upon the restaurant while exploring Covent Garden, and ended up having so much fun, a good meal and delicious cocktails. Special shout out to Kubra whose service, smiles and local recommendations set the tone for our entire trip. Whether you have time for one quick coffee/drink or a meal. Brother Marcus is a MUST try!

First time a Brother Marcus, and have to say it was exceptional. Being gluten free, it is hard to find good gluten free food when traveling. This is the spot to go. They only have two gluten free options, however both options are beyond worth coming back for. And to top it all off, Tamika was an incredible server. Very attentive and personable.

The waitress was rushing us by continiously coming to pick up our plates. This is usually something that does not bother but when they are only 4 mains on the table and one person is still eating, it s rude to pick up the plates of the other 3 people at the table. Same happened with the desserts! Overall okay food, nothing of 4.9/5, but small portions for the price. I guess it s expected for the location of the place though. Overall I would recomend, but it s more of a 4.6/9 place not a 4.9/5

Amazing little touches throughout with a small cocktail to try and a baklava at the end! Food was lovely, the beetroot was amazing! Fish so well cooked, light and flavourful. Was a really busy Friday night but we were always checked on and everyone was lovely. We even asked for an off menu cocktail to be made and they not only sorted it but it was one of the best we d had! Can t wait to come back. Dietary restrictions: Waiter checked any allergies.

First time at brother Marcus and I must say the food was really good! Especially the celeriac and beetroot hummus which massively exceeded my expectations. Howeever, the experience was massively let down by the extremely slow service. Took about half an hour to be asked if we would like any drinks! And a further half hour to flag someone down to make our food order. Overall dinner took 3+ hours, we had to go up to the bar to pay so we could leave as our waiter was nowhere to be found. In addition to this, we chose the Marcus choice option to have a try of everything. Only to be told half way through that they were out of all the protein options apart from the calamari and prawn pasta. Felt like they could have told us before ordering as that s mainly what we came to try and we didn t get the value of the option without any of the meat options. That being said, I would come again to hopefully try the other options and to see if the service was a one-off.
