Albie in Southwark

Absolutely loved my experience at the restaurant! The food was full of flavour and beautifully presented. But what really made the day special was the staff. Francesco was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. A perfect mix of great cuisine and exceptional service. Highly recommended!

Había un ratón corriendo por el suelo, el personal parecía no molestarse al decirles. Les pedí que empacaran mi mac & cheese para llevar y nunca me lo devolvieron y finalmente me quedé esperando por mucho tiempo a que me sacaran mi factura. Terrible experiencia.

Love popping by to Albie for my morning coffee before work. Ryo is my go-to barista and always serves the perfect latte - delicious, temperature and gorgeously foamy. He provides excellent customer service and always remembers my go-to order! Couldn’t recommend more!

My wife and I had the pleasure of having drinks at the Albie for a few nights during our stay at the Hoxton. Jonathan the bartender was the highlight. He provided great drinks and wonderful conversations. I recommend this place!

When a problem arises, the team stands up and offers solutions, I will return without hesitation.

Great place, excellent food and drinks, if possible sit outside for a great view.

I went to Soul Sunday at Albie Hoxton, and overall, it was a good experience. The atmosphere was lively and busy, which was nice to see, and the team was helpful and friendly throughout. The menu had a few options to choose from — lamb sharing platter, veggie, oxtail, and chicken. I went for the oxtail, which was tasty, especially the cornbread on the side, though I did find the portion a bit small. Unfortunately, they had run out of mac and cheese, which was a bit disappointing. For dessert, I had the peach cobbler. It was nice and not overly sweet, which I liked. All in all, the food was enjoyable, the staff were great, and the vibe was buzzing. I'd go back, but I’d hope for bigger portions and for them to have all the sides available next time!

Emily en el restaurante de desayuno y Justina en la entrada fueron muy amables con nosotros! God Lugar para alojarse durante el fin de semana

We had a coffee and snack at Albie last weekend. Food was excellent and the coffees were great. Our server, Milli, attended to our every need and made the experience for us. We will be back.

Not only is Albie great for food and drink, but also all the staff working there are super nice and helpful! Extra shout out to Daniel for being a top barista :-)

Good for breakfast on the go, brunch with friends or coffee with a laptop. Gluten free options available 🫶

This is my go-to cafe for my morning coffee before work. Love it here especially lovely staff, especially Japanese guy Ryo, Italian lady Iolanda and Columbian Daniel! They are super nice and sweet, friend and efficient. Provide professional and pleasant services every time. The coffee selection is also wide and comprehensive. The atmosphere is very chill and the outside tables are nice when the sun is up! Highly recommend this local beautiful cafe where staff are amazing and welcoming!

We are a couple with a small child, and we had a wonderful breakfast. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was lovely. It was my wife's birthday, and Emili not only provided excellent service but also arranged a special dessert with a candle. My wife was thrilled! It was a fantastic way to start our day. Thank you, Emili!

We had a wonderful time at Albie! The food was excellent, with generous portions, and the wine selection was fantastic. The atmosphere was lovely, and the restaurant is conveniently located in the hotel lobby. The staff was amazing, with a special shoutout to Daniel, the talented Colombian barista, for his warm welcome and outstanding coffee.

We really enjoyed our breakfasts, avo on toast and hox Bennie. Atmosphere and service were excellent 👌

Muy excelente café y el personal y tan encantador. Samia y Daniel son simplemente genial y me dan la bienvenida cada vez con amabilidad y sonrisas.

Gran lugar para conocer y saludar. El ambiente es el correcto. La señora de la mesa, lamentablemente, no consiguió su nombre. Cabello rubio largo con una sonrisa bonita. Era una delicia. Arruinamos nuestra reserva, ella se arregló sin ningún alboroto. El servicio al cliente es generalmente impactante en estos días, pero no aquí. La comida y bebida era buena. Pero sólo teníamos algo ligero.

Ordered a latte. Coffee quality was average and wasn't served hot - not worth the £5 for a latte plus service charge. Disappointing

Excellent restaurant, located inside a hotel (The Hoxton), but also open to external guests. There are several vegan and vegetarian options available. We went there for both dinner and breakfast, trying various dishes, and found everything very tasty and plentiful. The service was impeccable; in particular, we would like to thank Francesco for his professionalism and kindness. He made us love the place so much that we will definitely choose a Hoxton for our next stay in the UK.

room service was dissapointing rmz too small

Beautiful evening, elegant setting, quality food. We were served by Daniele, who listened to us and guided us through an immersive tasting. Delicious meat and excellent wine. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended

Gracias a Dis - Fidelidad, desde hace casi un año he empezado mi día en Albie 3 x semana con un buen café. Saludos, sonrisas hermosas y conmiseraciones en otro día de trabajo por delante de Iolanda y Daniel siempre son bienvenidos. ¡Mi día no se siente bien si no están ahí para empezar conmigo!

Food was amazing. Fernando gave us good service.

There were six adults and two children for Sunday brunch. We booked on Sunday morning and when we arrived we had a large table with plenty of room. Service was good with efficient and pleasant staff. Sadly, for one diner, their food arrived as another was finishing. However this problem was recognised and without asking the manager gave a generous discount off the bill. We will come again.

amazing food and Karolina was amazing!

Karolina was a lovely server and made the dinner better.

Let’s start at the beginning. The location and ambiance is superb. Really like the interior design. The menus and the food we chose was excellent. Great / interesting cocktails and wines available. What made this move from really good to really superb was the team that served us in particular our waiter (from Romania ). He was as simply excellent and at some point should open his own restaurant. He talked us through the hotel and restaurant on site. He was professional and friendly. Because of this experience we have booked the hotel for the next London trip and will book the top floor restaurant.

We had a brunch this morning and everything was perfect. Francesco, the guy who served us, was great in helping us living the best experience and supporting with allergies. I definetely reccomend this place

great atmospheres, but the steak was rough, so was the lamb. gentleman working there said I couldn't use my hotel credit, because of a system issue, and I should pay and ask hotel staff to reimburse me, when I pushed back he allowed me to use credit, that seemed weird. place is beautifully decorated.

Recientemente visité Albie para un almuerzo de cliente y estaba muy decepcionado con la experiencia. A pesar de que el restaurante no estaba ocupado, nuestra comida tardó una hora y media en llegar, y tuvimos que recordar a la camarera sobre nuestras bebidas, que finalmente llegaron después de una hora. La camarera no se disculpó por los retrasos y parecía indiferente, lo que fue sorprendente dadas las muchas críticas positivas sobre el servicio aquí. La comida estaba buena, les reconozco que -aunque las patatas fritas estaban totalmente anémicas, pálidas, no especialmente calientes y carentes de crujiente- los dos que las pedimos dejamos más de la mitad -la camarera no preguntó sobre cómo estábamos disfrutando de la comida, así que no hubo oportunidad de señalarlo. Se pretendía que fuera un entorno profesional, pero los retrasos y la falta de atención lo hicieron bastante embarazoso. Espero que haya sido solo un día libre, ya que el servicio cayó muy por debajo de las expectativas.

We are staying in the hoxton and had a couple of drinks here. Our barman Johnathan was so friendly and made the best whiskey sour I’ve ever had. 10/10, Recommend

Abbiamo fatto un aperitivo location spettacolare personale accogliente abbiamo preso due drink è stata un ottima esperienza. Il ristorante è da provare

Lovely spot for a coffee date. Nice and cosy - I will be returning to try the brunch!

I totally reccomment Albie bar and restaurant! I've been once for both breakfest, and then for dinner & drinks. Delicious food, great atmosphere, and amazing team/satff. The whole staff was super nice, highlights for Karolina who was super nice and helped me with great suggestions.... and Jorge, who preperade the best drinks ever. ;-)

Recomiendo totalmente Albie bar y restaurante! He estado una vez para ambos breakfest, y luego para cenar y beber. Deliciosa comida, gran ambiente, y un equipo increíble / satff. Todo el personal fue super agradable, destaca para Karolina que fue super agradable y me ayudó con grandes sugerencias. . . y Jorge, que preparan las mejores bebidas de la historia. ; - )

Cocktail Masterclass with Kennedy was brilliant, he was attentive, brought energy, passion and knowledge about the drinks and their history. Gave us countless recommendations and made the experience memorable. Amazing service would highly recommend!

Delicious brunch with the best breakfast burrito I have ever had. A 5 star place to visit in London.

Desayunamos, y fue magnífico! Deliciosa comida fresca, un montón de opciones. sin duda recomiendo para un buen brunch en la ciudad. Nos atendió Karolina V. ella era amable y cálida persona, no solo nos atendió perfecto, sino que también nos dio consejos sobre algunos lugares agradables de la ciudad. El personal era amable, especialmente Karolina.

Excelente restaurante con una comida sabrosa, buen servicio y buen ambiente. El agradecimiento especial para Karolina V. por un gran servicio y cálida bienvenida en el restaurante. ella hizo nuestro tiempo de bruch especial ❤️

Came for a small plate and a side. When Hoxton Hotel has a rooftop restaurant and a lobby restaurant. The rooftop is always banging and the lobby restaurant can be hit or miss for me. This was a miss. I felt the food was just average overalls. The team here should talk with the kitchen team at Chet in Sheppard Bush location as that lobby restaurant is banging. Cauliflower cheese was just something I'd make at home. Jalapeno poppers were just ok too.

It is a great central space to have meetings and work remotely. It's my go-to spot when I am in London. Lunch is always a treat with delicious meat and vegetarian dishes to choose from.

the place is really beautiful, the food is excellent, but the best part was Francesco, a really kind and helpful person, who gives an added value to this wonderful place

Ambiente realmente encantador aquí. El diseño es muy relajante junto con el excelente servicio y la buena calidad de la comida. Es el tipo de lugar donde es difícil levantarse de su cómoda silla y salir, especialmente en un domingo perezoso! Avo aplastado en tostadas y un lado de hash browns es una gran manera de empezar el día aquí : - )

Service non existent and no one walking by the flag. 30 mins to take my order. Eggs overcooked and you’re charging £15 but can’t poach an egg.

Great place for group (can get a bit noisy) but thr cosy sofas at the other end for 2 people is fabulous. Love the chicken 🍔!!

My girlfriend and i were served drinks by Jonathan in the Albie bar before dinner. Jonathan provided amazing service and drinks, we had a great time

Samia was amazing, she did amazing service. The drinks she made for me were amazing. I’ll come definitely just for her.

The bartender Samia very friendly and smily i loved so much the drinks she made. Will come definitely on her shifts. Place very welcome and clean!

Only been there for a cup of tea but it seems very nice. Lovely and helpful staff.

I had breakfast here several times during my stay. For a hotel breakfast that was in my view quite overpriced it sure was challenging to get a table! The interior is impressive though the iced chai is sickly sweet. I enjoyed the avocado toast and also the chia pudding though I wouldn’t recommend the french toast

Ambiente y ambiente encantador, la comida era impresionante, la música vibra toda la noche. No demasiado ruidoso justo para una noche de fiesta.

Several menu items not available, not told until after ordering. Order was incorrect Dishes arrived different from menu description, e.g. poached eggs on muffin rather than scrambled egg on bagel Food sat on the pass for nearly ten minutes despite restaurant being quiet"

Went there for breakfast with colleagues on a Thursday. Our waiters were super professional and friendly. The interiors were really pleasantly decorated and it wasn't too loud inside. I ordered a matcha latte, a peppermint tea and an omelette. The food was good but there was nothing special about it. The french toasts looked really tasty though!

Great coffee and matcha latte. French toast with fruits was a delight.

Food was just fantastic! Service perfect! PS. Pay 4GBP and take a Norwegian water instead of tap water .. just the best with such a meal!

Nice restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and great service. The waiter was very attentive to our child, which we really appreciated. The burger and steak weren’t perfect but still quite decent.

Fab coffee. Service extraordinaire. Went here for brunch. Bit off the beaten track. Well worth the detour.

Great quality breakfast and great ambiance inside.

My friend and I came down to Albie yesterday for dinner. It was amazing, food came on time and tasted so fresh and rich, we had lamb chops and the vodka pasta. Our waiter Djamila was a star, she was very friendly and made us laugh all our time there. Will definitely be back!

Thank you Jonathan and Samia for for making our evening such a great one. It was really chatting to you both! From San

Personal increíble! Es bastante raro poder sentarse en el bar y simplemente tener una velada increíble junto con los camareros, realmente extrañaba este tipo de vibra. Junto con mi amigo San, tuvimos el placer de hablar esta noche con Jonathan y Samia (espero estar escribiendo bien los nombres) y, en realidad, chicos, ¡nos alegraron la noche! ¡Fue un placer conocerlos a ambos y seguramente volverá pronto! El restaurante en general tiene un ambiente encantador y aún más mejores bebidas!

My experience was very very nice, this also because of Francesco which was kind and available with us!!! Would recommend 100%!!

Desayunamos aquí, y lo recomendaría encarecidamente. El personal era encantador, la comida era deliciosa, gran menú, y el ambiente era perfecto. La decoración en el restaurante es preciosa y la comida no decepcionó. Nos encantó tanto que volvimos para el almuerzo al día siguiente!

Thanks to Francesco for the excellent service, kindness and availability! Without his attention it wouldn't have been the same experience.

The waitress and Walter were insuperable...Best service ever!! I am gluten and dairy intolerant and they helped and even spoiled me. Lots of savoury snd healthy opcions for vegans

Great brunch in a lovely hotel bar.

Was almost put off by the lower star reviews however this place was great for a quick brunch with my wife on our way back from night away in London, hotel and bar looked pretty cool and great service/ambience. Food reasonably priced drink was bit pricey but standard for London really and the coffee and Bloody Mary’s were amazing.

Wonderful interior and service with excellent food. The service was truly exceptional (Jonathan, thank you!), Everything I have eaten simply delicious! Thank you for a great dinners I had during my stay in Hoxton!

I’ve held off leaving a negative review until I’d been a couple of times but unfortunately both of my experiences of weekend brunch at Albie have been disappointing and frustrating. On the first occasion, it was relatively busy so I withheld judgement on the extremely slow service. Our server was friendly but unattentive. I ordered poached eggs on toast. When it arrived, it was literally just two small poached eggs on two small pieces of sourdough toast. That was it. The toast was so dry, crunchy and tough to chew that it was unenjoyable. The toast wasn’t buttered and the eggs had been lightly seasoned but it didn’t come with any other accompaniments like avocado or salad. I ordered a sausage on the side (for an astonishing £5!). When it came, it was completely pink and uncooked inside. I waited 15 minutes for the server to come back over, who took it away. 10 mins later, she brought back another sausage which was equally uncooked. I left it. We then waited a further 20 minutes for the plates to be cleared away, 20 further minutes for the bill and 15 more minutes to pay. Every table around us was also having trouble attracting staff attention. We were then overcharged on the bill, which we just left to avoid waiting further. While it was a frustrating experience, I gave it the benefit of the doubt given how busy it was. These things happen. The most recent time I visited for brunch on a sunday, it was not busy. We were presented menus and had our orders taken and delivered quickly. I had the smashed avo on toast with a side of smoked salmon. It was perfectly fine, but nothing special for £18. After that, the server disappeared. We were not asked if everything was ok with our order and our plates were not taken for 20 minutes until after we’d finished. It then took another 25-30 minutes to get the server’s attention to get the bill. Again, the two tables that were occupied near us were also experiencing the same delays. There was no acknowledgement that three tables were having to wave to get anyone’s attention. The slow service particularly baffling as there were only five covers and four waiting staff. The staff always seemed to be busy and yet the service was poor. I will say that it’s a nicely laid out and designed restaurant. It’s clean and tidy and feels upmarket. However, for the price point, the portions are stingy and uninspiring. The cost of add ons that you would expect to be included anywhere else are on the wrong side of cheeky. These could be excused if there was exceptional service, but there isn’t. I understand that Albie will probably survive based on footfall from the hotel, but as a local, I and those I attended with are unlikely to be returning or recommending it to friends unless it makes considerable changes.

Decent breakfast and coffee. Ok prices so good value for a nice setting.

We were going to see a matinee at the Southbank and booked for brunch at 11. Nice walk from Waterloo East along the pretty back streets. Can’t order a Bloody Mary before 11 and it’s the breakfast menu until midday. But eggs were perfectly cooked and nice big portion of hash browns.

El domingo pasado fuimos a un bar llamado Albie. Dentro del hotel houxton Muy buen hotel btw, pero lo que más disfruté es cómo el personal es profesional, amable y trabajador Me encantaría mencionar especialmente a la chica detrás de la barra SAMIA, ella nos cuidó adecuadamente, y ella hizo algunos cócteles hábiles que yo y mi pareja disfrutamos de ellos Samia volveremos de nuevo Gracias.

The place is nice and the staff friendly, the quality of the dishes is good (the cooking is a little slow but nothing dramatic) and the price is correct, I recommend it

Our first time in London, and we stayed at the Hoxton. The hostess at the desk, Justina was so wonderful, words cant express how helpful she was. We had drinks several evenings in the lobby, Keira was our server and she was so helpful and turned us on to a drink called the Vieux Carre. And the bartender Jonathon made them perfectly. We would definitely come back.

lovely bar , but who make it even better it’s the bartender «  samia » very polite , very friendly , and super talented , 10 of 10 i’ll definitely come back

Visited this place in the heart of Southwark and really had a great experience with everything they had to offer, Albie is indeed a great place to go and have a good time, the food was nice, beautiful art of the place, the drinks are as well amazingly good, thanks to Jonathan who took care of us, will definitely recommend and come back again.

What a fantastic meal! We arrived at 4pm (also staying at The Hoxton) and after a friendly chat and a lovely welcome from Eugene we were seated inside with a roadside view. Our server was Claudio. What a pleasure. Very friendly, helped us with our choices and was a pleasure to have as our server from start to finish. We chose the sour dough to start and share followed by masala fish and chips, salad with chicken and also the Hoxton burger. Everything was really good. The chicken with the salad was perfect, moist with a crispy skin. Burger large and tasty. The fish perfectly cooked with cassava fries, high in protein, more flourery than normal chips, with a curry sauce. We also had Prosecco, the Hox mule, Moscow mule and wild spritz, probably my favourite. To top it all, a trio of ice cream plus a chocolate Happy Birthday for my wife to end. The music in the background gave a great relaxed vibe, not too stuck up. Brilliant meal, looking forward to breakfast already which I shall mention in my TA report on The Hoxton. All in all, brilliant. But definitely made by Eugene and Claudio. Well done. Enjoy

A hidden gem in the Southwark area. The ground floor restaurant and lobby bar are quite relaxed during the afternoon, but the evenings are quite busy and lively - recommend booking always. Service was friendly, and the menu is decent portions I would describe as comfort food. It's nice and I left feeling satisfied.

Lovely and cosy bar near southbank. Delicious cocktails. Eugene has been very accommodating, such a positive energy! Will return for dinner at some point definitely

Mr Jonathan , the bartender add brilliant service and made the best cocktails I’ve ever tried in my life massive thumbs up to him for making the experience worthwhile definitely are going to come back and recommend it all of our friends

Have had great brunches at Albie so decided to visit for dinner and was not disappointed. Friendly staff, great food and atmosphere.

The omlette was just fair, the hash browns were of the frozen triangle patty variety (yuck!), and they stole a £1 on the tab for a local charity. Added a charity donation without asking is theft IMHO.

Friends from the USA were staying at the Hoxton in Southwark, breakfast at the Albie was the easiest place to meet AND I didn't know it existed. Terrific service, breakfast was enormous and delicious, service 10/10 - I intend to go for brunch on my next visit. It is in a perfect location for me, quiet and a hidden gem in SE London.

Food, drinks and service top notch. Jonathan was our server and offered great recommendations. The lamb was amazing and the drinks were well crafted. Would def recommend.

The level service is unsurprisingly British

I had a really lovely experience yesterday, I came with my friend for some drinks and a bite to eat. I was served by Johnathon who was welcoming, attentive and nothing short of an outstanding bartender! Really impressed with his customer service and will be sure to return again!

I was served today by Johnathan the bartender, he was so polite and gave excellent service and to top it off with brilliant drinks. I’ll definitely be back!

The place is really nice as well as the atmosphere. Food is excellent too. The staff presented well and was nice. There was an initial issue with the service on my first visit but I have been then contacted afterwards to rectify the situation and can confirm everything was as expected on our second visit. Therefore, as I am living near by, Albie will definitely become one of my regulars for Sunday brunches. Many thanks again Albie.

We’ve been attended by Francesco at breakfast and he was lovely, he recomended us some nice dishes and made our morning better overall

A cozy place with good food and staff. Ate breakfast there as part of a hotel stay - delicious. Had a late night burger on a different day - yummy.

Wonderful service in a stunning environment. Karolina, our server, was great - and got us to sign up for the loyalty program - which is a no-brainer! Very happy

Excellent service thanks to Bruno, impeccable attention and very good recommendations

Really great breakfast, and really nice servers. We had Francesco serving us and he was very friendly and super helpful with his recommendations and take on the food!

During our breakfast at Albie, we were fortunate to be assisted by Francesco, who truly went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Francesco greeted us warmly and made us feel incredibly welcome. He not only provided excellent service but also took the time to offer us valuable recommendations on things to do in the area. Francesco's friendly demeanor and genuine hospitality made our breakfast a highlight of our stay. Thanks to him, we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend this hotel and restaurant to others. Grazie mille, Francesco!

Really nice place for lunch and reasonably priced

Great food and service! Eugenios is an excellent and very polite host! Thank you 😊

I stayed a night at Hoxton Southwark. I booked the breakfast package there. Overall: tasty but expensive breakfast 1) the restaurant decorations and vibes are really good 2) the yogurt bowl tastes so lovely with great granola choices added 3) the rise up has a sharp and fresh but not sure if it’s bottled or not - it’s really expensive for a tiny amount juice. 4) I think it’s understaffed as it’s so busy and I haven’t been served with anything over 10mins such as water since I sat down. I have to look for staff to order food… only one staff in the breakfast area to serve everyone which looks a bit bad.

We had a really great brunch at Albies. Lovely service, good atmosphere and delicious food. I would highly recommend and will revisit soon!

Great experience! Restaurant should push a bit more! Very unconventional French old school feeling! Restaurant menù should be reviewed!! This place had a big chance to go on top of the game!

We had a delicious meal at Albie. The chef selected his best dishes and we were extremely pleased by the service and general hospitality at Albie. The tuna tartar was impeccable and especially enjoyed the chicken with orzo and the salmon main course. Special shoutout to Max the chef who made the evening so special for all of us. Would highly recommend!
