Cuisine: Mediterranean, Modern European, Tapas/Small Plates
Price Point: Mains from £10-£20
Ranked: #2 of 104 restaurants in London
For Mediterranean small plates that taste as beautiful as they look, you can't beat this new all-day hangout located mere steps away from Angel Station.
Founded by best friends Alex, Arthur and chef Tasos, the menu focuses on mostly plant-based dishes inspired by Crete.
Expect fresh, vibrant flavours such as halloumi with orange and crunchy pistachios or the famous courgette fritters with whipped feta. There are also seafood and meat options, including pork belly with apple labneh.
Can’t get out of bed on the weekend? Brunch lasts all day here so you don’t have to. Like something a little stronger than tea with your toast? Try one of the Mediterranean-facing cocktails. We love the Smoke and Honey (mezcal, lime and honey water).
Wooden banquette seating and a happy colony of house plants make the interiors just as Instagrammable as the food...

Abigail Peary - dined at on 11 April 2019
Loved this place. Had 6 dishes for the table and they were all delicious!
Maria Mitchell - dined at on 11 April 2019
We were a party of three and got 5 tapas plates plus 2 desserts. Each one of them was amazing and very colorful and beautiful. Fresh, light, flavorful ingredients, and a great and non-pushy staff. Very relaxed and leisurely experience. Would definitely recommend.

The food and ambiance was amazing. Food presented beautifully and came out in just the right timing allowing us to enjoy each plate!
Brother Marcus also has the best cocktails!!
Overall fantastic experience, every plate was a taste sensation.
Andrea Flores - dined at on 30 March 2019
How have I not been to this restaurant before?! What an absolute gem! Based on sharing plates and the menu may initially seem small but there’s plenty to choose from- including for vegetarians like me. Everything we had was delicious and the service was also very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. This may have just become my favourite London restaurant- I’ll defintiely be back to try the rest of the menu!
Arianna McDevitt - dined at on 30 March 2019
Amazing food, great if you like the sharing food experience. Service was impeccable. Thanks!
Alannah Stewart - dined at on 21 March 2019
Brother Marcus has a lovely setting, very attentive staff who explained the menu and our questions. The food was delicious, loved the small plates sharing style. Would definitely go back.
Hannah Tuffley - dined at on 19 March 2019
Had such a lovely evening on Friday - great food and very friendly service. Having not dined there before the waitresses recommended how many dishes would be enough for 2 of us and also which dishes were "must eats"! The pork belly was fantastic, and the whole roasted cauliflower was perfection - a hard thing to get right too! My partner wasn't feeling too well, and with no hesitation, they boxed up our remaining dishes! Despite it being a flying visit - I will definitely be going back.
Kate Bramwell-Green - dined at on 15 March 2019
Our second time here. Awesome service, amazing creativity in the food, and really healthy portions for "small plates". Food was really tasty!
Prinesh Govender - dined at on 16 March 2019
Really inventive menu.
Miriam Lahage - dined at on 9 March 2019
Great little gem!
Katalina Von Wald - dined at on 7 March 2019
Brother Marcus lived up to the reviews. The food and service was exceptional. We had about 7 dishes between 2 of us which was the perfect amount. A lovely table by the window meant we could people watch in a beautiful restaurant. The food and drinks were exceptional.
Dom Felton - dined at on 1 March 2019
Food was great- we particularly enjoyed the bread and houmous! Everything we had was lovely, we'd definitely go back and explore the other options!
Rachael Cuddihy - dined at on 2 March 2019
Wow! What an experience. Brother Marcus were fantastic. The staff were so attentive, they made some fantastic recommendations and checked on us throughout our evening. One staff member even ran down the street to catch us after I had forgotten my bag. The food was amazing, every dish we had was delicious. Couldn’t recommend this place more.
Hollie April - dined at on 21 February 2019
Loved the flavours and was pleasantly surprised they use a lot of curry leaves. The whole roasted burnt cauliflower dish was the best with a cracking sauce. Service was amicable and quick too. Would definitely come back!
Lakshmi Bala - dined at on 21 February 2019
Wow. Loved it all. The venue, the staff and the food. Had the octopus, the okra and the lamb but the most surprising and impressive thing for us was the bread. Like it was made by angels. Will definitely recommend and will be back also!
Arina Novikova - dined at on 8 February 2019
The experience was nice.
Raluca Tudose - dined at on 8 February 2019
Excellent food, quite rich so small plates are apt. Even better service, thank you!
Amina Rawat - dined at on 9 February 2019
Everything we ate was just amazing - it tastes as good as it looks! I will definitely be back x
Michelle Gordon - dined at on 2 February 2019
Excellent experience at Brother Marcus. The combination of flavours is fantastic and we wanted to try it all. They had run out of one of the dishes we wanted which was unfortunate but will definitely revisit. Service was attentive at the right level. If possible ask not to be seated by the door, the draft gets you as people come in and out and as it wasn't closing properly on our visit the draft was there unless a member of staff closed it properly which they did mostly.
Luisa Corricelli - dined at on 23 January 2019
Great food and quick service!
Melissa Fung - dined at on 18 January 2019
very friendly stuff and the food was excellent. The new taste of new combinations was exactly what we're looking for.
We're planing to return!
Rasa Leimonte - dined at on 27 December 2018
This was my second time at Brother Marcus and it did not disappoint! The ambiance in the restaurant is lovely and perfect for dates or catching up with friends as it is all low lighting and candle lit. The service is impeccable and the staff were really knowledgeable about the menu and able to advise well on how many dishes to get to share and what their favourites were.
Then the food... just WOW. The best part about Brother Marcus is that all of the small plates come with a sauce or puree so they are complete dishes rather than just snacks. Between 4 of us we had 10 plates including; The fennel tzatziki, beetroot hummus and their homemade lagana bread which is a must-have! The fried feta with honey was delicious but the star of the show for us was the pork belly which is cooked perfectly and has incredible crackling. It's served with an apple/cream cheese/yoghurt which balances it perfectly.
The fried chicken was also excellent and we had 2 portions of that and the pork belly! The slight disappointment was the lamb as it wasn't anything special once you had had the pork!
Overall a fantastic restaurant and excellent service and value - will definitely be going again!
Aanya Madhani - dined at on 12 January 2019
Really nice cosy place with great dishes that are not your normal offering. Desserts are amazing!!!
Adeel Belorf - dined at on 10 January 2019

Katie McAdam - dined at on 29 December 2018
The food was amazing and the whole dining experience was very warm. Especially the vegetarian selections are just the best! Definitely I would like to visit here again
Jihyun Kim - dined at on 29 December 2018
Fantastic food in a beautiful setting. Cannot recommend highly enough. We particularly enjoyed the cauliflower and the pork belly but every dish was fantastic!
Simon Saunders - dined at on 22 December 2018
Had 6 (1 for dessert) plates between 2 of us. Was more than enough food, so portion sizes were generous for a "small plates" restaurant, as previous reviewers had indicated. Food itself was beautifully presented, and each dish was distinct from the next, in terms of flavours and textures. Actual food itself was really tasty. Located down a quaint little passage, just off the main road, so it's easily accessible, but in the same breath, you feel as though you have escaped the hustle and bustle. Definitely going back.
Prinesh Govender - dined at on 22 December 2018
Delicious sharing food and a lovely warm atmosphere!
Laura Lynas - dined at on 18 December 2018
Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Brother Marcus with amazing food and friendliest service! Highly recommend the fried chicken, pork belly, lagana bread & beetroot hummus. Service size is slightly larger than usual tapas - we had 7 dishes to share among 3. Great for a date night/small group gatherings.
Woon Senn Koh - dined at on 12 December 2018
The staff were wonderful and it was some of the best tapas I’d ever had! The beet hummus dip and fried feta along with the mamousa bread are a must.
Quick service, intimate setting and yum food. I will be back.
Eloise Kohler - dined at on 11 December 2018
Had a really lovely dinner at Brother Marcus food and cocktails were so delicious!

Delicious!!
Samantha Roche - dined at on 3 November 2018
Brother Marcus exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere was relaxed and bubbly, the service intuitive and funny, the cocktails delicious and the food was just out of this world. I went with a group of 4 and we all really enjoyed ourselves. It was probably the best dining experience I've had all year, everything was just spot on. Would definitely go again and reccomend to everyone.
Elizabeth Wootton - dined at on 18 October 2018
Great food great atmosphere
Natalie Bird - dined at on 15 October 2018
Brother Marcus was our first restaurant with first table. We really liked interior, especially lights above tables. Service was nice and friendly. His recommendations were good. He also knew the right amount of food for us. We started with Fennel and wild garlic tzatziki, Bread, Beetroot hummus and fried feta. Hummus was positive surprise for me as I usually don't like humus, this one was good. Bread was good, just a bit more oily, than necessary. Crispy cauliflower was very tasty. Marinated sardines wasn't my cup of tea, but my friend ate it all. We have ordered also something else, but I can't find the name on current menu on website. Dessert Honey bombs (we would love it with vanilla ice cream) and panna cotta very nice as well. We enjoyed our visit and definitely will be back!!
Jana Kubíčková - dined at on 12 October 2018
Great food, cool atmosphere and excellent staff. You have to have the beetroot hummus! It’s amazing!!
Sara Smith - dined at on 11 October 2018
Fantastic restaurant in a great location. We enjoyed the unique tasty dishes on offer and the excellent service. Will definitely return.
Jodie Hughes - dined at on 9 October 2018
Delightful staff, delicious food and drinks. This is such a welcome addition to Camden Passage. The aubergine and pork belly are particularly outstanding, and my partner declared he could have eaten ten plates of the honey bombs! Will definitely return.
Abigail Klopper - dined at on 20 September 2018
Absolutely great food! Everything was fresh, flavourful and well presented. All came really fast too. Service was great, attentive but not too much. The decor is very interesting also. Will definitely return.
Sophi Hill - dined at on 3 September 2018
The food was really tasty and the service was insanely fast. Probably 5 minutes after we sat down we had our food served. Cocktails were also good and cool looking.
Diana Mincu - dined at on 1 September 2018
Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by their staff and shown to our table. Brother Marcus has a warm, vibrant atmosphere that is welcoming, friendly and is a space that sets a precedent for the food you are going to eat. And by golly was the food amazing. Delicately looked after, each dish we ate was unique, delicious and absolutely wonderful. Our entire experience was amazing and I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you First Table and Brother Marcus for this experience.
