Lively Marylebone brunch spot with polished, friendly service and creative Aussie-leaning plates; excellent sweet and savory staples, but crowds, queues, and occasional host-desk friction can frustrate.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Daisy Green delivers reliable brunch excellence with strong food quality anchored by consistently praised pancakes and shakshouka, paired with warm, attentive floor service that creates genuine hospitality. However, occasional consistency variation, recurring front-desk friction, and variable service speed during peak hours prevent grade A territory—this is a solid neighborhood favorite rather than a destination brunch destination.
Restaurant Summary
Set in Marylebone, Daisy Green delivers a bright, buzzing brunch scene with polished floor staff and plates that look as good as they taste. One diner summed it up: "service was warm and the food arrived just when we wanted it." The room feels warm and bustling yet cozy, with friendly, on-the-ball servers smoothing busy weekend rushes. Do expect queues at peak times. The cooking leans modern and produce-driven rather than showy: fluffy pancakes, smoky shakshouka, and avocado on charcoal sourdough sit alongside a bacon roll wrapped in paratha with lively hollandaise. It is a contemporary spin on comfort, drawing on Middle Eastern and global accents without going over the top. If you enjoy creative brunch classics done right with fresh, generous portions, this is your lane. For families, it works well: pancakes, eggs, toast, and salmon royale are kid-accessible while adults can nudge adventurous with dukkah, labne, and chilli. There is no explicit kids menu in sight, but plenty of familiar, kid-friendly choices; sweets like pancakes or banana bread are easy wins. At peak times, consider booking to avoid long waits with little ones.
