Really overpriced for average food. Think it must be a touristy spot? The corn fritters were quite bland, small portion and lukewarm. The person who served us was moody and we had to keep flagging staff down to take orders/ more water etc. Of course a 14% service charge was added.. I am never a fan of places that add on a charity donation for tap water without asking your consent first. Overall, poor experience wouldn’t return. *meant to post a 1* but can’t edit rating.

The food and service were excellent! While the ambiance isn’t particularly cozy or modern, that didn’t take away from our experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend it for the quality of the food alone.

Sorry folks, a bit disappointed. I used to be a Lantana regular as I lived in the area. It was always a treat. It's still a ok place to eat but from my last visit I'd say it's pretty average at this stage in it's lifecycle. Our food was fine but nothing particularly exciting about the dishes we ate. I was served a side of dry toast without butter initially and the corn fritters were generally a little lacking in something. Vegan/Veggie options are good. Ambiance is still nice enough although the back room was a little dark. Service was a bit chaotic but friendly. They've switched to the Sunday app since I was last there. I HATE the dark charging patterns of this app. 14% Service charge? (Cool!), Add an additional tip? (I'm sorry what?), Pay a platform fee? (Come on now!) I never understand why the customer is charged an extra platform fee just so we can scan a QR code and save your staff the hassle of a PDQ? I'm actually curious about that one. I'd suggest to the manager "Don't be a cheap and cover your own damn platform fees" Overall it's all...FINE but we're just not particularly fussed about coming back and I never thought I'd say that a few years ago.

Good food. Coffee wasn’t fantastic. The end of the meal left a sour taste in our mouths. Asked for the bill and the server pointed at the QR code. Logged on and not only does the app charge you 80p per transaction (x4 for a party of 4) for doing something to make it easier for the restaurant but we were charged a 14% service charge (you can’t remove it unless you speak to a server which wasn’t possible on a busy Saturday) AND it asked for a tip on top of this 3 times before allowing you to pay via Apple Pay (the tip screen kept popping up every time you declined). 14% service charge, asking for a tip multiple times despite the inflated service charge AND an app charge. Felt like a real grift when service wasn’t fantastic. It’s a shame because the food was good, despite the high prices.

I had probably my worst brunch experience at Lantana Shoreditch today. The service was extremely chaotic. It was ridiculous that they failed(or forgot) to put in our order twice. What's even more wild was they forgot the poached eggs in my Pork Adobo Benedict... The restaurant was only 30% full at the time so they didn’t appear to be short of hands. The manager took off the charges for our coffees (which we had to order three times) and the missing poached eggs in the end, but I would rather happily pay for what I ask for without such frustration than wasting my time and getting my mood ruined on an otherwise rather perfect Sunday. Oh, the manager surely didn't forget to charge us 14% service fee. Everyone makes mistakes so I would not blame the staff if they’re new. But Lantana as an established hospitality business that runs three stores in London - why should your customers pay for your mismanagement and incompetence?

Excellent service and good food. Visited Thursday night. Have a good menu selection. Lots of veggie items as well. I particularly liked the customization of main dishes where you can add things like egg or Halluoumi or chicken. Loved their Mezze board and fries as well. The not so good - don’t have beer on tap. But only cans. - tad expensive compared to what is available around them and the quality. Still worth visiting and trying out Australian food if you fancy.

Service was good and quick. Nice waiter took care of us and atmosphere was chill. Only thing to let this place down a bit was some of the food. Bang bang Cauliflower starter was delicious. The chorizo bites were not too bad but would not rush to order again. The prawn dumpling smash tacos were not great at all. Flavourless (unlike a prawn dumpling which usually has lots of flavour) and covered in so much crushed peanuts it’s mostly what you could taste. Would not recommend that main option.

This review is mainly based around the attitude of the Barista who served me my take away coffee...the food at Lantana when I've eaten there in the past has been really good. Just before 10am today (17/6) I went in to buy a takeaway coffee at Lantana Shoreditch, the barista was just miserable, after she finished serving the lady on front of me she just stared at mebwith a blank unsmiling face there wasn't even a basic "Hello or how can I help you?" she maintained this look for the entire time she made the order then just put my coffee down and there wasn't even the basic "Goodbye or have a good day". I'm a hospitality worker myself, I have been for over twenty years and I get people have bad days or they're dealing with issues outside of work but the second you step into work you have to put on a smile and do the basics of your job at least. To top it off I really don't understand the cup/lid choice as it just spills coffee out of the top hole when you're walking and always dribbles after you take a drink.... unfortunately the coffee was at best average as well.

Stumbled upon the Australian cafe as Aussies looking for a good coffee. It’s a cute place and had a lovely Menu. We had the peanut butter Bircher Museli. It was very nice but not very peanut buttery, really could not taste much of it. The coffee was disappointing as it was bitter and strong and we asked for it extra hot and it came warm so had to send it back. The food we saw come out for other tables looked delicious. You pay the bill at the table by scanning a QR code and have the option to split the bill which is had y. Although there is a small charge for paying this way.

The Turkish Eggs at Lantana is one of those meals where you just have to slow down, and take the time to appreciate & enjoy the explosion of different flavours in every mouthful. It was an utter delight. If going here during the weekend, be prepared for a boisterous crowd as there are plenty of people partaking in the Bottomless Brunch. If you’re wanting a quiet venue, this is not the place to go - but the food is worth the noise. I just sat back, enjoyed my food and took pleasure in watching the others having fun. The Discretionary Service is 14%. Maybe Lantana has always charged 14% or maybe this is an inflation-related uplift from the standard 12.5% but given inflation impacts the base price charged…. Well, it’s not as if you’re going to argue about it when it’s on a £17 meal and you had good service but…

Lantana is good brunch stop and definitely worth the visit. The food and coffee are really good, but service when I went was slow. It’s much more expensive than other brunch options in the broader 0.5 mile vicinity though and with how slow the service was on a bank holiday Monday the food didn’t quite make up for it. 4 stars because it’s worth a visit and the Nasi Gorang was decent.

It's worth noting that if one person on your table gets a bottomless brunch option, everyone must get one. I can't find this listed on the website or displayed in the restaurant, and it means the difference between 1 meal + 1 drink and the alcohol free bottomless is about £20 extra for what is already expensive, bang average food. I wouldn't say it's worth the money at all.

Coffee was disgusting. I took one sip and had to throw it out. Same with the person I was with. We are both Aussies who went there cos it billed itself as an Aussie cafe but it is so bad that even the Costa coffee would be better than that! Bitter, badly brewed and obviously nothing like proper Aussie coffee! The Chinese barista gave me a look when I asked for caramel and said “we don’t do that” as if they are all superior but then the coffee was so terrible I have no idea what they have to feel superior about. 🤷🏾♀️

I don't write reviews much, but the bar is getting so low in London that I was very pleasantly surprised by how great Lantana was! We went early (9:30am) on a Saturday, so it was quite quiet but got busier as time went on. The service was great - attentive but not annoying - the food lovely and very filling, and even the toilets were spotless! There's not many places I don't resent for having a service charge over 10% (and it's a pretty eye-watering 14% here) but I'd probably have left that much even if it hadn't been added already.

We experienced it during our family holiday in London. We were truly as impressed as the previous reviews. The ambience, flavors and service were very nice. Portions were extremely sufficient and delicious. Especially as an egg lover, the scrambled eggs I tried and the poached eggs my wife tried were great.
