Breakfast and brunch restaurants are the perfect places to start your day with a delicious meal that will give you the energy you need to tackle whatever comes your way. And if you're looking for a breakfast and brunch spot in London, Bull In A China Shop is definitely worth checking out.

Located in Shoreditch, this lively Asian-influenced eatery and bar offers a menu that is sure to satisfy any craving. From Chinese spiced, whisky glazed rotisserie chicken to black charcoal brioche buns and superfood salads, there's something for everyone. And if you're an early riser, be sure to try their sweet and savoury congee (rice porridge) or one of their breakfast bao buns.

But Bull In A China Shop isn't just about the food. They also have a cocktail bar serving over 30 choice Japanese and Scotch whiskies. The design concept is very much Chinese ‘old curiosities’ with a hint of Tretchikoffs ‘Green Lady’ played out with a collection of medicine bottles and bone china ornaments to a backdrop of textured whitewashed walls.

Owned by brothers Stephen and Simon Chan, who also own neighbouring Chinese dim sum parlour and cocktail bar The Drunken Monkey, Bull In A China Shop is an exciting venture that uses their wealth of experience and knowledge of the area and customer base to create something people really want - a stylish all-day eatery serving great quality, speedily prepared food and expertly made cocktails in a confident yet laid back environment.

So whether you're looking for a quick bite before work or a leisurely brunch on the weekend, Bull In A China Shop is definitely worth adding to your list of must-visit breakfast & brunch restaurants in London.
