Brother Marcus to open new restaurant in Covent Garden
The new 4,190 sq ft two-floor venue will include two terraces overlooking The Yards’ St Martin’s Courtyard and will have two bars – one on each floor – and an open kitchen
Eastern Mediterranean restaurant Brother Marcus has selected The Yards, Covent Garden, to launch its largest location to date.
Located at 23 Slingsby Place, Brother Marcus’ new 4,190 sq ft two-floor venue will include two terraces overlooking The Yards’ St Martin’s Courtyard and will have two bars – one on each floor – and an open kitchen.
Designed by Finch Interiors, Brother Marcus Covent Garden will feature terracotta tiles, “muted” earthy tones and artisan ceramic plates that will line the walls, while green plants will sit alongside woven, wicker, wood, and rattan.
The menu will begin with breakfast, before moving into all-day mezze. At the weekend, brunch is served until 4pm, when the menu changes to sharing plates.
Morning dishes will include sweet potato fritters and shakshuka, with sharing plates such as halloumi, watermelon jam and mint, and pan-seared bream, almond and dill gremolata.
Brother Marcus will also launch with Marcus’ Choice, a curated set menu and a pre-theatre menu of the rip and dip platter plus 2 mezze dishes for £25 from 5-7pm Tuesday to Friday, and a drinks menu using Eastern Mediterranean herbs, spices, and liquors, as well as a list of Greek wines.
Alex Large and Tas Gaitanos, co-founders of Brother Marcus, said: “After four successful sites across London, we knew we wanted our fifth location to be spectacular, and with its two-floors and terraces overlooking The Yards, 23 Slingsby Place certainly delivers the wow factor. We’re thrilled to be bringing the Brother Marcus concept to central London with our largest site to date, and look forward to establishing the brand firmly in the heart of Covent Garden.”
On behalf of Longmartin Properties Ltd, Abi Labbett, asset manager at CBRE, added: “Brother Marcus’ selection of The Yards to launch its flagship location and first in central London further endorses our position as one of the finest day-to-night F&B offerings in the capital. This signing nearly completes our strategy of creating a critical mass of leading global concepts delivering authenticity, vibrance and choice, with only one grab-and-go style unit available.”
