Bottomless Brunch at the Little Scarlet Door

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

I was actually booked to celebrate bottomless brunch with a friend at The Little Violet Door near Carnaby Street, but after turning up at the venue, we were informed that the restaurant had closed due to an electrical issue. They had already booked us in to their other restaurant, The Little Scarlet Door. The menus and drinks for bottomless brunch are different between the two restaurants (after being told they were the same, though I did not believe as I had looked at the menus before deciding on The Little Violet Door.) We were craving some of the food and drinks on the other menu, so I was actually quite disappointed.

The bottomless brunch at The Little Scarlet Door comes with a selection of beers, Prosecco, Pina Colads, a couple of different Spritz cocktails, and non-alcoholic options. I wasn't keen on the vibe of the Soho restaurant; the basement was where they were going to put us originally. It was dark and smelled funky, and the venue was very loud.

Instead, we got sat in a corner with a view outside the windows.

Because of the issue with The Little Violet Door being closed, we were offered a free cocktail. I had the spicy one, which was served in a tin can. My friend really wanted the bottomless rum punch, so they a rum punch cocktail.

The bottomless brunch comes with a mezze board to share, a toastie sandwich (from a selection of three options), and a side of tortilla chips. As I do not eat meat (except for chicken or turkey on occassion), we had to have two separate mezze boards. My friend had the meat one, and I had the vegetarian one. It came with peppers stuffed with cheese, flatbread, artichoke, feta cheese, and cheese wrapped.

My friend had a selection of meats and bread.

I had the cheese toastie but without the blue cheese.

I had to ask a couple of times for the tortilla chips.

I was not feeling the vibe and did not enjoy the menu at The Little Scarlet door. I would have come for drinks, but this venue was not for me. It was a shame as my friend visited from outside of London for the day to celebrate a special occassion.
