Located at the always busy Spitalfields Market, Alfi is a wonderfully calming spot to enjoy a delicious bite to eat and refreshing drink. The bar menu at Alfi features a delicious range of plates that the head chef Lorenzo has put together, and the bar invites you to enjoy a handpicked collection of 10 European wines available on tap, complemented by a range of over 40 bottled options. Embrace the local flavours with Alfi’s draft lager and IPA sourced from nearby brewers Five Points, and enjoy a selection of bottled beers alongside premium coffee offerings from the Square Mile roastery.
The main menu kicks off with a snack of baked scamorza with sourdough and sauce vierge, before moving onto starters of Jerusalem artichoke with morels and edamame puree, and BBQ smoked bone marrow with a salsa verde and crostinis. On the main menu, guests will find the handmade pappardelle with a 12hr tomato sauce, along with grilled aubergines topped with gremolata and almond ricotta, and a wild whole plaice with tomato, capers and olives. Other dishes include a rich tasting spatchcock polletto with a herb salad and saffron mayo, and the beef tagliata that has been aged for 28 days with a bordelaise sauce. There are lots of delicious sides to add onto your meal, from the roasted carrots to the potato terrine.
Brunch is served on the weekends from 10am until 4pm, and is well worth the visit. Enjoy the full Alfi breakfast with an egg and cheese bake, coppa, salami, mortadella, truffle pecorino, guacamole, toasted baguette, butter, yoghurt and compote, or if you prefer a sweeter dish, try the French toast with maple syrup, fruit compote, crema pasticcera Greek yoghurt, granola and fruit compote.
