Looking for more options in London? We've reviewed plenty of other experiences.

Setting the Scene at Ayllu

Ayllu offers a warm, inviting ambiance with two main seating areas—the main restaurant or the Regent Room—both providing the same lively atmosphere. While specific seating isn’t guaranteed, reviews assure that both spaces are equally suited for enjoying a bottomless feast and samba entertainment. Considering the experience is limited to small groups, you can expect attentive service and a more intimate vibe, which enhances the overall enjoyment.

Timing and Duration

The brunch lasts about 1.5 hours, with specific start times depending on the day. On Saturdays, the experience runs from 11 pm to 4 pm, and on Sundays from 12 pm to 4 pm. Since the bottomless drinks start at your reservation time, arriving promptly is key—late arrivals won’t get extra time to compensate. It’s advisable to arrive slightly earlier to settle in and fully enjoy the experience.

The Food: Japanese-Peruvian Fusion

Ayllu’s menu is a standout feature. It’s a carefully curated selection that combines the best of Japanese and Peruvian cuisines. Think ceviche, a Peruvian staple, alongside sushi and sashimi; soft bao buns filled with flavorful proteins; tacos that fuse both culinary traditions, and more. Guests report that the dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients and bold flavors, making each bite a delight.

One reviewer noted, “The ceviche was fresh and tangy, paired perfectly with sushi, making for a truly innovative twist on two cuisines I love.” The menu’s diversity allows diners to sample a range of flavors, and there’s even a chef’s dessert selection if you still have room after your main course.

Samba and Music: The Heartbeat of the Brunch

What truly elevates this experience is the live samba performances scheduled at 1:30 pm, 2:30 pm, and 3:30 pm. Each set lasts about 10 minutes, but their energy leaves a lasting impression. A live DJ spins the hottest tracks to keep the dance floor alive, encouraging guests to join in or simply enjoy the spectacle.

From reviews, guests mention that the samba entertainment adds a joyful, carnival-like feel, making it more than just a meal—it’s a celebration. The performers are skilled and charismatic, and their energy encourages everyone to get involved, dance, or just cheer from the sidelines.

Drinks: Bottomless and Upgradable

The bottomless offering lasts 90 minutes and includes red, white, sparkling wine, or cocktails—all served table-wide. The experience is designed for group enjoyment, so the entire table must choose the same drink option. This helps maintain order but can be a consideration if your group has differing preferences.

Guests rave about the value, especially at the £55pp rate that includes endless wine, prosecco, and a cocktail of the week. The quality of drinks is generally appreciated, and the flowing nature keeps the energy lively.

Practical Tips and Considerations

Authenticity and Guest Insights

Guests appreciate the lively atmosphere paired with authentic, well-prepared dishes. One reviewer shared that the samba performances were a highlight, describing the performers as talented and engaging.

Value for Money

At £37pp for bottomless food alone, the experience already offers good value, but adding endless drinks at £55pp makes it a real treat. The combination of food, entertainment, and drinks in a small-group setting ensures a memorable, lively afternoon or early evening.

Who Should Consider This Experience?

This brunch suits food adventurers eager to explore fusion cuisine and party lovers looking for a lively atmosphere. It’s perfect for small groups of friends celebrating a special occasion or simply wanting a different kind of weekend outing. Since it’s not suitable for children under 18, it’s best for adult guests who enjoy music, dance, and a communal dining vibe.

If you’re after a relaxing, quiet brunch, this isn’t the right fit. But if you’re looking for an energetic, flavorful experience with a touch of carnival, this is an excellent choice.
