Barbie Green in City of London, Westminster

This is a good spot in the City of London for breakfast/lunch. Good food, quick service, pleasant place to sit with outside tables for when the weather is good. I enjoyed the smashed avocado with poached eggs on sour dough toast.

A sign says ‘Wait to be seated’ but there is nobody to seat you. Be prepared for a long wait then just go to whichever table you wish. Oh wait! Every table is piled high with used plates and glasses. Never mind, you’re here with your client so you can just calmly move the crockery to another full table and wipe the spillage off your chosen table. Next order two overpriced coffees and while you’re not looking the nice people at Barbie Green will slip in an additional service charge for……..zero service, in fact should they not be paying me for clearing their tables? Hopefully it’ll be better next time, wait, there won’t be a next time!

The food was ok but nothing special and I felt it was overpriced. I object to paying a 13.5% ‘discretionary’ service charge, that cannot be removed, when I had to order and pay through an app so the only actual service was having the food delivered to the table

I had a lovely brunch here with friends this sunmer, great food and service by Mikaela who was very friendly and efficient. Thank you so much!

We were early heading for the Barbican - came across Barbie Green as we wandered - said we were just looking for coffee and were welcomed in and shown to a nice table - t was a glorious day and the place was light and airy - decided to imbibe with a cocktail as well - service was excellent and the coffee / cocktails were delicious - my wife says best Bloody Mary she's ever had (and she's had a few) - lovely place

Always great service and great coffee, really delicious oat flat white, thank you to Sky who was a very helpful and thoughtful server!

Sklyer was really enthusiastic and helpful, great breakfast excellent coffee and the avo smash was a winner. Staff overall where helpful

I went with a friend and Skye was very lovely & welcoming! I would definitely be returning and would recommend anyone to come to this branch.

We had coffee juice and the 'dirty daisy' for lunch and everything was sublime. The location is picturesque and the servers are very friendly. It's super dog friendly, we were greeted with an invitation to choose a table inside or out and were brought a bowl of water and dog bed, where our dog happily settled while we enjoyed our lunch. She was so comfy we could have stayed all afternoon!

Definitely a great place to relax for an afternoon, great recipes and nice cocktails. For food we ordered the sea bass and the bondi, fresh food and tasty plates as you can see from the pictures. For drinks, I love my Peach Bellini, very flavourful and nice. Thanks for Arsene again, he is very delight to serve us. Feel free to enjoy your food here.

Overpriced food, service is terrible, staff rude and unapologetic. They never answer the phone. There are better options in the area.

Banos was a great server who attended to our very need. The food was also very amazing as well as the service. The was was good and well priced

Great for a tasty healthy brunch. I really enjoyed the „healthy start“ and the coffee was great. Friendly attentive service by Panos

The food was really good with a nice atmosphere. Panos served us, he was very attentive and kind! Next time we will definitely try the drinks as well!

A Wonderful breakfast this morning in the City with views of the Roman wall! Great service from Panos, very attentive and friendly.

Excellent coffee. Super friendly service (thank you Panos!). Smashed avocado was delicious. Will be back for the smoked salmon!

Great service, good and friendly service…….. Great service, good and friendly service…….. Great service, good and friendly service……..

Good coffee, lovely food and great service, thank you Panos. We came for brunch with a friend and had a nice time. The venue was also very nice.

Great space and service. Accommodated a large group of 10 with ease and Panos our waiter was super efficient and helpful. To top it off the food was excellent!

Had a delicious brunch at this lovely venue. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and service was very smooth. It had a really relaxed atmosphere, even at midday. I’ll definitely return, and would recommend eating here.

Nice spot and very nice food, but spoiled by seeing the chef use the toilet and not wash his hands! A shame as relatively nice otherwise.

Absolute joke of a place. Arrived at 4pm for drinks and initially apparent manager refusing to offer tables booked for 5.15 pm. Challenged time frame as only there for an hour or so. Ordered bottle of wine and same manager challenged that 3 people would drink a bottle in the 1 hour 15 min timeframe! Eventually agreed but when ordered second bottle , we had to go outside in the rain for 30 mins before table booking arrived. Never met anyone in hospitality business so inept in service industry. Good luck!

Amazing place for lunch. Enjoyed the banana bread sandwich, buttermilk pancakes, dirty daisy, shakshuka and smashed avacado.

the food was good also the coffee i can give food 7/10 but the menu was small they should put more dishes - the staff were friendly

Whatever you do don’t think you can go into this restaurant without booking. We made this mistake and were treated like lepers. A waiter came up to us and instead of politely asking us if we had booked embarrassed us in from of the whole restaurant. He quickly took the menus off us and we scurried out a most unpleasant experience.

It wasn't busy when we came here. We were in a bit of a hurry but thought we would try this independent coffee shop rather than Pret. We were shown to a table and given menus. I did say we only wanted coffee. We were then left and after about 5 minutes I went to the till and ordered. The coffee took nearly another 10 minutes to be brought to our table with the bill which was good as we didn't have too much time but about 15 percent service charge was added which I thought was a bit cheeky. Also the lady who was behind the till wasn't very friendly. The coffee however was very good.

Not friendly. Ordered a drink & snack and snack. At 4pm I was told I had to pay. Service very poor. I I will avoid in future.

Popped in for a drink whilst exploring the wall Busy Food looked good We were only having drinks and we felt like we were a bit of an annoyance 2 Saracha Bloody Mary’s, one Aperol spritz and a banana smoothie almost 50 quid - wouldn’t mind a bit of a smile for that sort of money…?

we went for bottomless brunch, the portobello meal was perfect, as well as the blueberry pancakes. the portions are huge, we could not finish everything. the bloody Mary is also very nice. the service was really good as well, our waiter, Eric was amazing. and the location is really nice as well. will be returning soon!

In our week long trip to London we visited twice! Had both the blueberry pancakes and banana break sandwich, which was probably my favorite, but would happily eat both again! The service was also great!

I visited today with my mum, sister-in law and her mum as a mothers day + wedding celebration. The prosecco was lovely, and the food was amazing- highly recommend the pancakes. So much choice you just want to go back to try it all! The decor and vibe are really relaxing but refreshing and bright and the staff are very friendly, patient and generally just positive! Can’t wait to come again, will be trying other Daisy Green locations too! Thanks to the team for a perfect Sunday brunch! X

Came to have a brunch this morning, nice food and good vibes all around. Definitely worthy! Will come back

Best Food ever, everything was taste, i racommande healty start, lovely atmosphere. Please add kalorie on the menu.

Bästa matupplevelsen den här londonweekenden. Vackert, färgglatt, detaljrikt och med spännande smaker. Perfekta pocherade ägg. Jättegod spröd deg till fancy bacon roll. Gott och speciellt kaffe.

Booked this place because I was going to the Barbican. Menu is fairly limited. We had 2 pizzas, 2 pints of beer and a small bowl of olives which came to £50. Really not worth the price.

I had a Sunday brunch here recently and it was delicious, I had smoked Salmon Royale and it was fresh, tasty and not too expensive for what you get. I was served by the lovely Mantas who went out of his way to be cheerful and check I was ok and enjoying my food. He's an asset to the restaurant. I will definitely be back!

The best breakfast in London and they are dog friendly I highly recommend this beautiful place. The atmosphere, location and staff are all superb.

Went here to celebrate my birthday and was utterly disappointed. The staff were very rude and didn’t have a clue what menus were live or what was available. Food was nice but let down by the frosty atmosphere from front of house staff. Paid the bill and said bye/thanks to the staff who ignored us and couldn’t even bring a smile to their face. Sort of the front of house staff!!!

Lovely place to go for a coffee. Even though it's small, its modern and airy and ideal that there are lots of places to eat/drink outside too. Lovely area.

Beautiful setting with London Wall as a backdrop: a luminous oasis of vegetation in the middle of the City; friendly service and more importantly, fresh and simple dishes cooked with quality ingredients (Clarence Court eggs) served in generous portions. The smashed avocado with poached eggs...

Found this little gem while walking around the Barbican area. Staying in a local hotel while at the Barbican for an event we needed a breakfast stop… enjoyed it so much the first morning… we booked to go back on the second too. Food was...

We enjoyed friendly, attentive service and appealing, fresh food served with attention to detail. We had fun here and great to have the original, beautiful London Wall just outside.

Had the most amazing time at Barbie Green. Such an aesthetic surrounding and the most stunning food. I had the sweetcorn fritters and the banana bread - both of which were to die for. Guly, our waiter was incredibly prompt with the top offs, offered...

Me and my 2 friends had the best time at Barbie Green! Guly’s service was incredible! He always made sure we had enough to drink & made us feels so welcome! He is amazing! The food was impeccable!! 100% recommend when in London.

While the quality of food offered is pretty good, the service is terrible. You have to wait ages for your meal, and woe betide you if you were hoping to accompany your meal with a hot drink - it will be stone-cold cold long before...

Ordered the Shakshouka,not spicy at all and not seasoned,very disappointing,waiter said "oh well that's the way the chef made it"

We didn’t have breakfast included in our hotel so we were wondering around the Saint Pauls/business district for somewhere to have a brunch. Came across this CAFE right next to the old Romans/mediaeval walls of London. It looked rather expensive initially but actually the food...

There is a lot to like about Barbie Green in the City, the location, the feeling of light and spacious outside patio but most of all the really fun food. Not everything works but if you are using this place regularly, then you'll find what...

Visited Barrie Green for late brunch, we had booked the table for brunch at 3:45 and once given the menu we were told the kitchen closed in 5 minutes and we should order quickly… just wonder why they would allow you to book at that...

My husband booked this place for lunch and it was really good. The staff were friendly and helpful and the service was great. The food was very good. A really nice little find and we will definitely return.

I’d read the negative reviews regarding bad service but decided to see for myself. The restaurant was quite full and the staff were right on top of their job. We were sat down straight away, given menus and our drink order taken within seconds. Couple...

Stumbled upon this little place whilst looking for brunch. The menu was kinda Eastern Mediterranean inspired (despite the place being Aussie themed) and it was difficult to choose. Had a nose at what others were having and must say it all looked fab. We really...

Found this place on the way to the Barbican so decided to pop in for breakfast. I had The Bondi, the poached eggs were cooked to perfection along with everything else (although a little over priced). Staff were really friendly

Visited on a Sunday morning for coffee and breakfast and I couldn’t recommend this place more! Amazing coffee and the food is beautiful! The service is a 10/10 and all staff were so friendly. Will definitely be visiting again!

What a lovely lunch today. The food was amazing and so nicely presented. The cocktails were superb and so were the deserts and the coffee and hit chocolate. The staff were excellent, so nice and so friendly and the ambience was brilliant too. Will definitely...

I took a friend to Barbie Green for birthday weekday breakfast at 10am. There were loads of spare tables outside. We chose a small table nearer the back but we were told we couldn't sit there, even though it was not booked. The manager/waitress looked...

We were walking from Liverpool St Station towards the museum of London, a d saw this pretty coffee shop, which proved to be more than that and winner. Nice setting amongst the old city walls, warm we.come from staff, shown to an inside table, outside...

We really enjoyed our brunch at Barbie Green. We all had the fancy bacon roll and it was so tasty. Loved it. Service was friendly and we liked the whole set up.

When u heard first time i was not sure if i visit or not... but i have been there just overrated place and coffe is not sPecial. Nothing sPeciaL 👎

they have done this place up since my last visit a few years ago, now aussie theme. nice pleasant service, quick, easy, and food was great esp for breakfast, would like to try out more of the brunch menu another time. Highly recommend

Came here for a drink with My husband on Wed 9th June. As soon as we entered the waitress looked at us and started removing the chairs at the one remaining table on the terrace. When we asked for the table we were told that...

Came here for my friends birthday meal , we was all really excited to finally be allowed out and go to a restaurant. The service was absolutely awful , our table was booked for 7:15 our food didn’t arrive until 8:40 all at different times...

At the time of writing there is still an outdoor only dining rule in place and difficult to find tables at lunchtime in the city. However helpful and friendly staff found a table for 2 and served us promptly. Simple but varied menu - great...

Excellent location, good food and vibes! Our waitress was very kind and the terrace is really lovely for outdoors dining and for a sunny day. Portions are generous and cappuccino is really well-made. Will definitely come back for another visit. Was a pleasant surprise!

I was recommended this café by a friend and it really did not disappoint. I would recommend this place to anyone; it would be just as suitable for a casual business lunch or a fun brunch with friends. The vibe and tone of the restaurant...

I went there for brunch with my boyfriend,had a great banana bread and very good coffee. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, found staff being very friendly and nice. Recommended !!

Had the most amazing blueberry pancakes here last sunday. Cannot deny that as a baking nerd I find most places a bit average in terms of what they offer, but these were delicious and in a league of their own. I've already been back for...

Wow ! What a wonderful find in the Barbican . It had been recommended by a friend who lives nearby and boy , did it live up to its reputation . We were greeted by the most Charming , friendly , funny waitress who settled...

We had a delicious brunch on Saturday, the restaurant was busy but the service was super quick and all the staff were extremely efficient, friendly and welcoming. We were served by Jason who was brilliant and really lovely. The menu is the most aesthetically pleasing...

We accidentally found this little gem. My partner and I wanted to have dinner, but we were reluctant to sit indoors (Covid related stress). This place has tables outside and heaters to keep you warm. We got pizzas and salad. The green salad was amazing!...

We came across this little gem by chance. Lovely interior with friendly knowledgeable staff. The food was incredible, the fancy bacon roll was amazing. We cannot recommend this enough.

Met family for the bottomless brunch. £39.50 for a sweet and savoury course. You then get a a bottle of Prosecco and a jug of orange on the table. Once it’s finished it’s replace. You get 100 minutes. The food and service were fantastic. Great...

Very slow service and rude staff -- and this was before we even were seated - despite a half empty restaurant -- staff socialising -- we went elsewhere

Great to find this place open in The City. Fantastic friendly service and pretty good pizza along with a decent range of drinks. Recommended.

On a lonesome Monday night this place provided an awesome dinner, a meat eater declining the tempting spicy pizza and going full veggie. Delicious aubergine on some kind of rice base. Really lovely. Great vibe and classic old/new city views.

Cute little restaurant. We went on a Saturday and it wasn’t super busy which was nice. The brunch choice was good and the banana bread was delicious!! Portion sizes were very generous.

Such a fun space for a Friday night with friends. The food is incredible, love the small menu! Would highly recommend the Dirty Cauli pizza. Can't wait to try their brunch menu soon :)

Went with a group of 5, and pretty much ordered everything on the menu. Was incredible! The Dirty Cali pizza is immense, as was the service.

Went here for dinner with a few mates a couple of weeks ago and loved it! Menu has an awesome selection without being drowned with choices and the FLAVOURS! Pizzas I've never tried before with flavour combos to blow your mind. Seriously loved it. Staff...

Delicious breakfast, lovely service and wonderful venue! What a great spot in a normally unexciting part of town!

We visited this restaurant which is in an area devoid of decent places. The modern interior, service and inventive food was excellent and we would recommend it highly. The outside area will also be a great asset in the summer creating a relaxed and enjoyable...

Newly opened on London Wall. Popped in to try out their brunch and was blown away by the friendly service and the amazing food - really high quality and beautifully presented. Nothing was too much trouble and I will certainly recommend it to my friends....

It is so great to see a new restaurant in the area. A beautiful setting with great offerings for lunch & dinner! I popped in again for drinks in the evening, lovely vibe and excellent service. Just what the area needed!

Awesome new restaurant! I have been working in the area for a couple of years, we have been craving exactly this. I have visited for brunch, which was excellent. Also great for after work drinks. Will be back soon for sure.

Delicious food, coffee and cocktails. Perfect place for a quick healthy lunch or dinner. Pizza was to die for!! Cool Aussie vibe!

I was looking for a place for a lazy Sunday morning brunch and this place fitted the bill perfectly. Stylish and relaxed vibe + delicious food = perfect combo! Will definitely be going back when next in London.

We went to Barbie Green on one of it's opening days and the service was great as was the food! Really lovely vibes and in summer the outdoor seating with the view of the London Wall ruins would be lovely. Could not recommend more!
