Marlowe Café, Bar & Restaurant:
A taste of East London
Marlowe at Montcalm East is a love letter to London’s eclectic food scene. Named after the legendary playwright Christopher Marlowe, the restaurant draws inspiration from a time when Shoreditch rivalled the West End’s Theatreland in drama and revelry.
The menu is an ever-evolving showcase of British and international flavours, featuring locally sourced seafood, prime cuts, and classic comfort dishes like fish and chips and hearty roast dinners.
For those who appreciate a well-crafted cocktail, the mezzanine bar offers a photography-themed drinks list that’s as Instagrammable as it is delicious. Raise a glass to Shoreditch’s rich history while soaking up the electric atmosphere of London’s most creative quarter.
