Healthy and Hearty Brunch in Marylebone – Only at Delamina

Healthy and Hearty Brunch in Marylebone – Only at Delamina

For a healthy and hearty brunch in Marylebone, there’s no better choice than Delamina. Tucked away on the ever-charming Marylebone Lane, where a Tel Aviv-inspired menu brings vibrant Middle Eastern dishes to the heart of London. With a weekend brunch that’s as hearty as it is wholesome, Delamina Marylebone has rightfully earned its place as a must-visit destination for the discerning brunch-goer.

A Marylebone Favourite for Good Reason

Delamina Marylebone is not your average brunch spot. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Limor and Amir Chen, the restaurant draws on Limor’s upbringing in Tel Aviv and her passion for fresh, nourishing ingredients. Her self-taught cooking style infuses the menu with authenticity, creativity, and a deep respect for Mediterranean culinary traditions. The result is a brunch experience that’s both elevated and approachable, indulgent yet light on the waistline.

Whether you’re seeking a relaxed morning with friends or fuelling up for an active day ahead, Delamina’s setting matches the food: warm, stylish, and full of character. The restaurant is filled with plants, exposed brickwork, and artistic touches, making it as visually appealing as the dishes themselves.

Weekend Brunch with Middle Eastern Magic

Available on weekends and bank holidays from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm, the brunch menu at Delamina Marylebone showcases an enticing array of large plates and meze-style bites that cater to a wide range of dietary preferences—vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options are all available.

Start your brunch with the Jaffa-Tel Aviv Style plate—a glorious spread featuring two eggs cooked to your liking, accompanied by a generous selection of mazetim: tahini with rose harissa oil, labneh with za’atar, feta with honey and sumac, zhoug, sweet roasted almond spread, chopped salad, house-marinated Sicilian olives, and pita breads. It’s not only a flavour explosion but also a wonderfully balanced, protein-rich option that feels both indulgent and nutritious.

If you’re craving something warm and hearty, the Classic Shakshuka is a must. Eggs are gently cooked in a rich sauce of tomatoes, peppers, onions and just a touch of chilli, served with pita. Add feta or chorizo for an extra layer of richness. Alternatively, try the Green Shakshuka, which brings a lighter, verdant twist with spinach, leeks, peas, caramelised onions, and crumbled feta.

For Something a Bit Different…

Delamina’s brunch menu is full of surprises. The Benedict Balagan combines poached eggs with smashed avocado, charred peppers, sumac baby spinach and paprika hollandaise on toasted English muffins—finished with crispy kale and nigella seeds for extra crunch and nourishment.

Meat-lovers will savour the Fried Egg on Beef Shawarma, served with dates, pine nuts, and a tahini drizzle atop grilled pita. For a plant-based delight, the Sabich-style pita, loaded with fried aubergines, soft-boiled egg, chopped salad and amba tahini, is rich in texture and Middle Eastern spice.

If salads are more your speed, the Rosary goats cheese salad is a visual and flavourful masterpiece. The cheese is rolled in pul biber and rose petals, paired with roasted nectarines, toasted seeds, baby leaves and za’atar crackers—a dish that celebrates contrast and creativity.

Brilliant Beverages for Every Mood

To complement your brunch, Delamina offers a drinks list designed by mood—whether you’re in the mood to celebrate, relax, or refresh:

  • Try the Pul Biber–spiced Bloody Mary or a glass of Prosecco with rosewater and elderflowe to start your day in style.
  • Fresh mint tea, Turkish coffee, and Limonana (a refreshing lemon and mint drink) offer soothing, non-alcoholic alternatives.
  • Iced teas like peach, rose & hibiscus or lemongrass & ginger with elderflower are perfect palate-cleansers between bites.

Final Thoughts

In a city where brunch is often more trend than substance, Delamina Marylebone delivers something truly special. The dishes are thoughtfully prepared, the ingredients speak for themselves, and every plate is infused with the rich culinary traditions of Tel Aviv. It’s a place where you can indulge without guilt—where every bite feels like a celebration of wellness, warmth, and flavour.
