I recently visited Santo Remedioās Marylebone branch for their newly launched Mexican brunch, and I honestly cannot stop raving about it. From the moment I walked in, everything about the experience was flawless starting with the incredible staff.
Service: The staff here deserve a special mention. Warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve, they made us feel so welcomed. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, walked us through the brunch menu with great enthusiasm, and made excellent wine pairing suggestions. The attention to detail and prompt service added such a personal touch it felt like we were being hosted at a friendās home rather than dining at a restaurant.
Food: Now letās talk about the food - WOW. Hands down the best Mexican cuisine Iāve had in London so far, and Iāve tried quite a few places. Each dish was beautifully presented and packed with bold, authentic flavours: ⢠Prawn Taco: Fresh, juicy prawns with the perfect amount of seasoning. The tortilla was soft and warm, with just the right amount of bite. A flavour bomb in every bite. ⢠Mexican Eggs Royale: A luxurious twist on a brunch classic. The combination of smoked salmon, St. Ewes poached eggs, and jalapeƱo hollandaise on a perfectly toasted muffin was nothing short of divine. The hollandaise had a gentle kick that elevated the whole dish without overpowering it. ⢠Dessert ā Cinnamon BuƱuelos with Dark Chocolate Mousse & Berry Compote: Light, crispy, warm buƱuelos dusted with cinnamon sugar served with a rich and silky mousse and a fresh berry compote an absolutely heavenly way to end the meal.
Drinks: I paired my brunch with a glass of Friulano white wine by Antonutti ( crisp, aromatic ) and an excellent match for the rich and spicy notes of the meal.
Ambience: The Marylebone location is vibrant and stylish yet cosy, with a modern touch that still pays homage to Mexican culture. Itās the perfect spot for a relaxed weekend brunch or a catch-up with friends.
Overall: Santo Remedio has truly raised the bar with this brunch. The quality, creativity, and authenticity of the food combined with the exceptional service make it a must-visit. Iāll definitely be back and Iāll be bringing more people with me next time!

Ā Ā Ā Read moreNew kid on the Block, Santo Remedio has landed at Marylebone Village. This mexican Cantina & Casona recreates a lip smacking culinary experience, exuberant and generous down to the last chili.
On the table, first comes first, zingy mezcalitos are the perfect match for the three salsa dips, the morita is moorish and my personal favourite. Succulent sashimi grade tuna taco and a kick of fresh Jalapeno is made to order to preserve the texture of the tuna. Bravo! The star of the show though, is the Ancho pepper stuffed with lamb shoulder barbacoa, smoky , sweet and unctuous delight, a hint of lime sour cream lifts this signature dish.Traditional black beans stew and avocado leaf, a simply delicious vegetarian option. The Baja fish & crunchy slaw is a palate cleanser, a rest stop for my taste buds. Showcasing versatility and sustainability the West Country Venison & Pecorino corn tortilla pairs beautifully with Nebbiolo L.A. Cetto, Baja California.
Santo Remedio servings are generous so are the smiles of the Team when they welcome you inside. I recommend five savoury dishes for two people and if you are like me, reluctant to choose one out of the three desserts , order them all! the Cinnamon Wheel is a cracking dessert literally. The pineapple & coconut granita is tropical and refreshing and the Dulce de leche & creme fraiche tart were executed with precision by the hand of a superb Pastry Chef behind the scenes. It's my lucky day!
But you don't have to trust a word I said, just book a table and find out for yourself before there is not a...
