"Beach Blanket Babylon Shoreditch is rather unassuming with an all black exterior, meaning that we completely walked past the restaurant on our first visit. There is a small statue with a plaque on the outside but it's very easily missed. However once we were inside this all changed and we were greeted by an opulent décor and were seated in fine surroundings. But I also found myself comparing it to the Notting Hill branch where I was seated in what seemed to be a romantically intimate cave. This Shoreditch branch is slightly more laid back and could equally be a contender for your Sunday lunch as well as a special occasion. Would I Want Seconds? When we arrived, we were checked in and coats taken as we were sat in some comfy chairs for pre dinner cocktails. we ordered the Bee Bee Bee and A Walk in Shoreditch and they were fruity and delicious and presented beautifully. We were then served complimentary bread with butter and olive oil on the side was served as we waited for our starters, with explanations/descriptions and recommendations from our waiter. To start, I tried the quinoa, fennel, avocado and pomegranate £9 . I very rarely eat quinoa so this was a nice change and it's always better when someone else prepared a dish you are less familiar with. I couldn't stop eating the soft fresh avocado and diced chunks of cucumber and crunching the bright juicy pomegranates. The quinoa was light but surprisingly filling however the dish was delicious. My guest ordered the squid, cuttlefish and prawns crispy fried with harissa Mayo £8 , it was lightly battered and the dish was a rather large helping. The prawns and cuttlefish tasted fresh beneath the batter and the squid was particularly chewy. I would say this dish is better for sharing or for those with a large appetite. In fact both our starter portions were both quite large and I wasn't able to finish it as I was afraid I wouldn't be able to eat my main, although starting with the bread was probably not the best idea. For my main course I chose the lamb cutlets with Jersey royal potatoes, broad beans and shallots £17 the lamb is usually served pink but I asked to have it a little more medium. The lamb was so tender it fell off the bone and was a pleasure to eat. The presentation was also wonderful and as the jersey potatoes were cut into small chunks I almost forgot I wasn't so fond of them. I also ordered a side of spiced kale all healthy choices today right? but I was underwhelmed by the spices and especially the cumin it was seasoned with. My guest selected the 45 day aged fillet 200g , fries, bernaise sauce £30 . The steak looked like it had been chargrilled and was served medium and was very flavourful and chewy. After all this food we were still able to manage dessert! My guest ordered the blueberry meringue pie with black currant sorbet and caramel crunch £8.50 . The meringue was sweet and tasty and the texture was soft rather than the hard crunchy traditional kind I know. I had the apple turnover as there were limited dairy free dessert options. This came with honey, kafir lime, vanilla ice cream £8.50 . Could I Afford Seconds? The starters here range from £6 for soup of the day to £13.50 for the king prawns. The main courses here sit at mid range prices but I do believe that these prices are reflected in the quality of the food. A vegetarian main course of falafel salad and tortilla is £12 but they also have some much more expensive options such as the seafood plate for two at £75. The desserts are all priced between £6 £7. This means that BBB would be a treat rather than a regular weekly visit. Overall: 4/5 Just a short walk from Shoreditch overground station BBB is in a prime spot amongst one of the trendiest areas in London and I had great tasting healthy food and wonderful customer service. It is for these reasons that I will return. Additionally BBB is ope just drinks as well as dinner and they also boast private function rooms for hire. I went on a slightly quieter day just after Easter but I'm told the restaurant usually has a buzzing atmosphere and I am excited to see their next opening in Hampstead!"

Came across this place walking on Friday night browsing London as a tourust with a friend. Place was packed however hostess was kind enough to give as a table with no reservation . Classic decor mixed with young and hip crowd and music . Scalops were absolutely fantastic so was rissoto and pear salad with walnuts! Service was attentive !

beach blanket babylon shoreditch is rather inconceivable with a completely black outer, which means that we came past the restaurant at the first visit. there is a small statue with a plaque on the outside, but it is very easily missed. but as soon as we were in it all changed and we were greeted by an opulent decor and sitting in a fine environment.

I wanted to try this one, so it was excited when we booked it with friends. it was a Friday after work and I was not too hungry, so I went for the beef carpaccio and truffle mash. the trüffelmash is one of the most beautiful kartoffels I've ever had. I highly recommend it. with wine and eating worked the bill by 40 pfund per head. we then went down into the bar, it was a nice hit down there, but it was just a bit cold.

Eating with unlimited bubbly is fast to a totally acceptable wise to spend a weekend and with so many places to choose competition to offer the hottest brunch point is heating up. for us we have high expectations on beach blanket babylon, because it is the first stop of my sister! we have fed a full day and everyone knows that they have to start driving as they want, so of course we will be with our brunch unlimited bubbly.

I went to Beach Blanket Babylon last night for a hen party. Although we had a private room, we had to walk through the main restaurant which was absolutely buzzing and had a great atmosphere. The private room upstairs was pretty huge with its own dedicated bar. The food was not bad but, in my view, not worth going back for. I started with artichokes followed by lemon sole. Dessert was profiteroles which were dry and unexciting. If I go back to BBB it will be for the atmosphere more than the food!

Been here twice and both times I had the crispy duck as my mains. Beautifully cooked and just too tasty so it's safe to say I throughly enjoyed it. Plus the cocktails are just as amazing. The only thing that bought the place down for me was Tulisa going on like she was something to be looked at whilst acting like she doesn't want to be looked at which is quite a skill lol. The first time I went was for a birthday meal and so I got to see and taste some of what's on offer. The lamb shank was amazing, the fish and chips looked pretty standard and why anyone would go to a place like this an order a burger I'd never understand lol. Dessert was the birthday cake and I've always been too full for...

We booked a table here at the last minute, both for the convenience of it's location (near the office! and for its menu (lobster! service wise- faultless. The staff from the maitre d at the restaurant to the waiters serving was friendly but laid back- it felt genuine not contrived. I ordered a cocktail as I waited, a Babylon Cooler, with lychee, grape, lemongrass and vodka and it was probably the nicest cocktail I've had in a long time. Refreshing, not overly sweet but still fruity. For mains, I ordered the ribeye steak. It came with a side of fries and bearnaise sauce and though it would have been nice to order a different sauce, my steak was tender, and perfectly cooked medium rare. I like...
