The Brush Grand Cafe opens on the 8th of May
Located on the first floor of art’otel London Hoxton, just a short walk from Old Street Station, The Brush Grand Cafe offers a variety of European dishes and contemporary takes on classic Grand Cafe favourites. Operating every day, all day long, The Brush Grand Cafe provides breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, coffee, and cocktails. You’ll also find a deli counter with pastries and cakes to eat in or take away and a lounge and cocktail bar to work in by day and unwind with a cocktail and live entertainment by night.
The 70-cover dining room is where East London meets Grand Cafe culture. Vibrant design, urban character, and floor-to-ceiling windows complement a 40-metre graffiti mural by British multi-media artist Dean Stockton, alias D*Face. The Brush is also linked to the art’otel gallery which hosts original Banksy’s and pieces from up-and-coming artists. At the entrance, you’ll find a paintbrush sculpture in bronze by D*Face which inspired the naming of the cafe. Guests can also enjoy a 70-seater terrace perfect for warm summer evenings filled with great food and playful cocktails.
Executive chef Ryan Mathison, formerly of Sea Containers in South Bank, presents a market-driven Bush Grand Cafe menu of seasonal dishes and signatures with modern influences. Begin with a beef tartare accompanied by a confit egg yolk and sourdough, or a comforting bowl of French onion soup topped with gruyere before moving on to classic steak frites or veal schnitzel paired with quality European sips or a few glasses of biodynamic and natural wines. Alternatively, for a twist on a classic, try the moules frites invigorated by a chilli and lemon thyme sauce or head to the cocktail bar for a light snack, live performances, and DJ events.
