Modern eastern mediterranean cuisine london
Brother Marcus Angel in London, England, is a vibrant restaurant specializing in modern Eastern Mediterranean cuisine and has become a staple in the bustling metropolis. It is part of a small but growing chain founded by three best friends—Alex, Arthur, and Chef Tasos—who wanted to bring their passion for the flavors and cultures of the Eastern Mediterranean to the British capital. The name “Brother Marcus” comes from Alex’s younger brother, Marcus, whose warm and inviting nature shapes the restaurant's philosophy: every guest should feel like part of the family. The Angel location, which opened in 2018, quickly established itself as a popular meeting place for brunch lovers and connoisseurs.

Equally noteworthy are the Harissa Eggs, a spicy egg dish with harissa served with fluffy pita bread, celebrated for its intense seasoning.

The option to enhance brunch with a "bottomless" offer makes the experience especially appealing for groups.
