Spectacular brunch, four of us sharing. Wanted everything - ended up having several things twice. Vietnamese eggs splendid, the breadMac (“Return of the Mac”) a work of genius and the banana ‘pancake’ banging. Thanks so much!

I’ve been to the Arcade Hall many times. It’s great for meeting with friends and family as everyone has the freedom of choosing different cuisines to suit their own taste. Unfortunately the day we went I had requested for us to be seated at a table further inside as the hall was very cold and we were placed near the door. The hostess said that that table was reserved but no one else sat there for the entire time we were there. We were placed close to the door, which was wide open, and right by a plant pot which rendered us invisible to servers. So we did get a little frustrated on the day as we sat with our coats on for 2 hours and had to keep standing up for any server to see us. Shame really.
