About Merchant House
## All-Day Destination
This handsome Georgian building adapts to different moods throughout the day. Morning brings specialty coffee and pastries while afternoon sees craft cocktails emerge. The rear garden becomes East London's most civilized drinking space come evening.
## What to Order
Weekend brunch features proper eggs Benedict alongside experimental pancake stacks. The cocktail menu emphasizes seasonal ingredients sourced from local markets. Their roast chicken dinner draws neighborhood families on Sundays.
## When to Visit
Weekend brunch requires patience as tables turn slowly in the garden. Weeknight cocktail service offers the most relaxed atmosphere. Summer evenings transform the outdoor space into fairy-light magic.
## Practical Details
Bookings accepted for brunch and dinner but not drinks-only visits. The garden closes in bad weather so call ahead. Dog-friendly outdoor seating makes this popular with local pet owners.
