    Loved it! Aussie vibes in the UK! I went with a friend and my baby, mid week at around 3 clock. It was super quiet so service was super attentive. Our hot drinks were delicious but food took a while to come. Otherwise the food was delicious, I participate enjoyed the Fancy Bacon roll! If you are like me and don't really like bacon you can opt for sausage instead! There are plant based dishes, pizzas, steak! So will definitely go back to try, maybe at a different Daisy Green restaurant! We weren't offered a high chair so that is something to note if you're heading out with your baby. There also isn't any baby changing facilities so I have to change my baby's nappy on the floor of the disabled toilets 🙃

    We visited the restaurant for brunch and everything was nice. The food was very good and some dishes were fancy. The service was attentive and friendly. Nice atmosphere as well. Definitely a good option to go for brunch

    Such a shame one of the female servers were so rude and judgmental - the food option is very small for people who don’t enjoy avacado or spice in everything and you can’t choose to remove things as I said very judgmental about that. If you’ve seen the program YOU it’s a place for the “LA” hipsters. Won’t be returning just the last minute place to go after everything was booked up. Food is delicious but not worth £100. One server he was amazing! Won’t be going back ever. No lights for the bathroom either.

    Very tasty and well-presented food, very bland service. I visited on a weekday at mid- morning. They did seat me quickly and took my order quickly but no normal pleasantries such as "welcome", "enjoy your food", thank you"or "goodbye." I personally was expecting a lot more considering this is presented as an up-market chain but after my experience, I describe the vibe as more local cafe but with great interior design and quadruple the price.

    Had the best experience here. The staff is just so sweet, caring and welcoming! The food is great, of course the price as you probably read is not cheap, but for a nice brunch on a sunny day it’s a really nice place! I had the French toast and it was really good, the food is special and creative. The matcha latte was also really good, as well as the green detox juice!

    One of the best brunch places I’ve been to, as much as the atmosphere is pretty casual, the dishes are delicious and nutritious and beautiful. And the signature square cakes are to die forrrr! We had the toffee caramel one. It’s located just near the barbican center, thus close to shoreditch.

    A great location and pun on the Barbican next door - and of course a reference to an Aussie BBQ too! Friendly service throughout the visit with a table thankfully found for us as walk-ins on a very busy Sunday brunch. The food was delicious and fresh, with lots of vegetarian options and potential swap-outs/ins. This place is perfect for brunch with a twist with spice and bold flavours throughout the menu. Would definitely recommend!

    Lovely Australian Cafe! I had the Bottomless Brunch which was £48.90pp. The mains were presented beautifully and the desserts tasted decent, I had the golden gaytime pancakes they were a little too sweet to finish and the presentation wasn't as lovely as the peach malba dessert. Definitely preferred the peach malba! It had a refreshing fruity taste which was delicious to have in the end. Overall the experience was nice as the staff were very friendly, welcoming and informative. Thanks for the help!

    Nice little coffee spot between the Barbican and London Wall. This cafe is part of the Daisy Green collection of restaurants, so expect a similar Aussie/antipodean style menu. I love the outdoor terrace and the nice benches outside. Great place to meet people for a catch up!

    Another one of ‘Greens’ brunch places. The menu is consistent. I tried their corn fritters which is now my favourite menu item. Their banana bread is good too but it’s a bit burnt this time.

  • 4/5 Hannah B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is amazing! Wow, I would absolutely go back for the food but the service was a bit weird? Our waiter forgot to ask for gluten free bread for my meal so I had to wait twice as long as my friend who ate alone, but the more off-putting thing was him commenting at least three times that he didn't like the drink (kombucha) that my friend was drinking with her meal. Also the toilets are almost pitch black. The food though, it really saved what might have been an unpleasant visit otherwise.

    Delicious food, great Cappuccino! With a view of an medieval chapel ruin. Very friendly service! 10/10

    Just had 2 of the best margaritas we have ever had, definitely returning customers! The gentleman who served us was so kind and attentive, when we weren't sure what to order he made recommendations based on our personal preferences. Lovely atmosphere, excellent service, great prices. 10/10

    Excellent brunch-style menu, with interesting twists on the usual ingredients. The food tasted very good indeed. Location is 5* on one side - the Roman wall, the new cordon steel high-walk and the relics of a Church. The other side is a building site and a busy road but you are in The City so that’s to be expected. Coffe is superb.

    Barbie Green: A Good Culinary Option in London for Breakfast, Brunch, and Lunch Barbie Green is a delightful café-restaurant in London that manages to maintain high quality despite being part of a chain. This Australian-inspired eatery offers a wide array of dishes, making it a great choice for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. The menu features plenty of healthy alternatives, ensuring there's something for everyone. The food is not only good but of excellent quality. The location is a highlight, with a bright and inviting ambiance, and the option to dine al fresco adds to the charm. It's also an ideal spot for business meetings, especially if you're in the heart of the city. Barbie Green provides a perfect escape from a stressful trading day, and I strongly recommend it as a place to enjoy quality food and a relaxing atmosphere. Just sometimes could be a bit loud being next to the big road.

    What a nice little brunch spot! Beautiful place and nice food. The service was good and the food was tasty. The only thing I can recommend is to ask for the coffee to be a bit more hot.

  • 5/5 redAmber g. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely food full of flavour! The eggs are perfectly poached and have a golden colour. Definitely recommend the 'Dirty Daisy' for a tasty brunch 😋

  • 5/5 Christine K. 1 year ago on Google
    As an Aussie, the Beany Green chain of cafes have to be my favourite in London to get decent breakfast or brunch. The fancy bacon roll is my go to (delicious) and the corn fritters are good too.

  • 5/5 H B. 1 year ago on Google
    Seamless group booking experience, all online and no deposit (just card details) required. Made a few changes to booking as date got closer, no worries. Dirty Daisy was good but felt like it could have done with some sourdough as there was quite a lot of sauce for a few tator tots and a poached egg. Staff were super chill but attentive. Will definitely go back!

    Great service and excellent food. A great selection of food that was delicious. The food in the picture is the bacon sandwich. Not what I expect but it was one of the best tasting foods I’ve had in London and not over priced.

  • 5/5 szymon s. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing restaurant beautiful interior and views. The food is delicious for both brunch and lunch. Very friendly staff. The location is amazing right in the heart of London. Best place for lunch in this neighbourhood. The banana bread is a must. And the tuna steak is out of this world

    Good coffee, good atmosphere Mediocre food and service Worth trying if it’s near you

  • 1/5 Adam A. 2 years ago on Google
    Poor service. Great food. Waited in a queue without being acknowledged even with a booking. Sat at a rocking, wet table, had to flag someome down for menu's, another long wait to order... So on so forth more waiting for requests which were forgotten anyway. Server explains the bottomless brunch as 'to get drunk' - classy. Didn't know what some menu items were. Shame, the food is actually quite good. The whole experience was very average, topped off by a particular server who just didn't care. I guess they used to people being bottomless drunk they actually didn't on this occasion.

    the flat white coffee was unreal, i got the blueberry pancakes and it was great value for money as well as tasting amazing :) my boyfriend got the fancy bacon roll, he said it was really good. The vibes were nice, the atmosphere was lovely with really good music playing. the staff were really nice and friendly

  • 5/5 Annjana R. 2 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed this place so much! The food and the vibe was 10/10. Perhaps the best brunch I’ve had in London yet.

  • 4/5 Rachel 2 years ago on Google
    Food is SO good. They really know how to make good eggs. Qualified as some good breakfast food. Great atmosphere too. They didn't have change so don't pay in cash... Customer service below average.
