e. pellicci

the breakfast of champions is always a good way to start your day; but what about the breakfast of legends. at e pellicci, a cafe in bethnal green, this is what you can do. this cafe is famous for its good food (more importantly) and also for the fact that the kray brothers used to eat here. order the usual such as a full english as below or go for the mixed grill full english. which comes with a lamb chop and liver. over 100 years this restaurant has proved a winner and the vibe, buzz and kindness of the staff make it a winning combination.

great good value cafe in bethnal green. what makes it special are the owners!! friendly italians with cockney accents make you feel so welcome

how can such good food, happy ambience and incredibly welcoming service get even better in time? yet that’s exactly what the pellicci family have managed to achieve. a warm, cosy space in the middle of bethnal green where no one feels left out. and those (double-fried) chips!

a go to place to have a wonderful filling breakfast with a very nice ambience and atmosphere. the staff is friendly and helpful,the service is prompt and punctual and the hygiene is always up to standards.

excellent place to have an early filling breakfast with the freshest ingredients and at the best prices, prompt and punctual service with the help of a very friendly and professional staff.

amazing place in london. i love the food. can’t wait to come back here again. congratulations to the staff.

there is a lot to be said about receiving banter from the waiters.  it leads to an entertaining meal. from a two second introduction to customers, there is particular skill in being able to gauge what type of reception would be welcome.  i think again to a particular restaurant that i know which would anticipate a customer’s every need without a word.  even silently changing the placing for a left handed diner to better suit different dexterity.

this is cafe is famous because of its good food. crazy rt because it's so affordable. got the homemade minestrone, homemade cannelloni & the english breakfast. the food and the atmosphere is good but what makes this place great are the owners. they definitely make you feel at home and can't wait to see them again. recommend them all!

well worth a trip great food very friendly staff, reasonably-priced and a good menu for all. old style cafe not many about any more full marks.

lives up to its great reputation! super place, both people and pocket friendly. i had the great vegetarian breakfast platter and an iced coffee. expect the coffee to be strong, i liked it as is. the breakfast was of a good standard, my favorite parts being bubble & squeak and fried toast (pure indulgence!). the tiramisu looked promising but i was too full even for dessert.

old school cafes are rare to come by with the ever-increasing rents rocketing every year in london. cafes find it hard to stay in business and i’ve seen many close down selling their business to another franchise. i am so glad that e. pellicci has stayed in business. rumour has it that famous kray brothers use to frequent this east end café in bethnal green back in the days.

a gem of a restaurant with wonderful interiors and super delicious food.not very easy to spot but a must visit pocket friendly place in london.tried out the english breakfast and mixed grill both were awesome.

honesty forces me to state immediately that the food was not greasy at all, i put greasy as the cafe is half a 'greasy spoon', half a diner. as a plus e pellicci is a little gem architecturally, wooden inlaid panelling that would do justice to a 5 star thing. at 10 o'clock on a saturday morning the place was full with a few tourists, locals, a table of the local constabulary and clean, filled, sauce bottles. the food was about perfect the butter dripping of the bouncy white toast, the scrambled eggs fluffy, the mushrooms grilled to perfection. a treat. the staff are fun and friendly. only slightly negative is i thought the price was a little more than equivalent cafes i have tried in london. now when i say more i mean £13 for 2 with drinks and toast, against £10 elsewhere, so we are not going in to debt here. a definite recommend, another 100 years to e pellicci.

i just been there 2 days ago for breakfast while i was on my way to work. the place is well decorated. the staff members were friendly and they serve my food really quick. everyone talks to everyone here. the food is mainly teas and coffees, sausage, bacon and eggs. the experience was so amazing that i am planning to visit this place again and again.

i visited this place with my colleagues during lunch time they are its fan. the interior here is so beautiful and give very nice touch. we tried their italian food. which was nicely cooked and the waiters served it in a short time. so they have good staff and great service. i personally liked this place a lot and i would come again soon.
