About Popina All-day eatery
Popina All-day eatery is a casual venue in London with opening hours across the week.
Better as a daytime plan than a destination dinner
The schedule is a key planning detail: Popina All-day eatery opens at 8 AM daily, closes at 4 PM Monday through Thursday, and closes at 6 PM Friday through Sunday. That makes it easier to plan within daytime or early-evening hours than for a late dinner.
The dress code is casual. If the occasion requires a clearly defined dinner brief, compare other London options before committing.
Who should choose it, and who should trade up
Choose this when it fits your plan: a casual London venue open from 8 AM, with earlier closing times than many dinner-focused restaurants. For diners building a bigger London plan, our full London restaurants guide is the better starting point, especially if the brief is dinner rather than daytime.
If the occasion calls for a different style of outing, compare it against other London options before committing. Comptoir Mayfair, Apricity, Social Wine & Tapas, Hoppers Marylebone, and Lavo London are possible cross-shops depending on the occasion and availability. For broader planning around the city, see London hotels, London bars, and London experiences.
The verdict: use Popina All-day eatery as a casual London option within its published hours, not as a late-dinner anchor. It works when timing and a relaxed dress code matter; for anything more specific.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Popina reads as a friendly, neighbourhood-focused all-day eatery tucked into Mayfair’s mid-register layer. It leans away from the district’s white-tablecloth extremes, favouring consistent, ingredient-led cooking and a practical, resident-facing sensibility. The editorial emphasis in the description on sourcing transparency and waste reduction gives the place a purposeful, quietly modern character without the formality of destination fine dining. Expect an approachable room where the day’s rhythm, coffee, breakfast, lunch, brunch and evening plates, shapes a relaxed, casual atmosphere that feels geared to everyday use rather than special-occasion ceremony.
Best For
This is a venue built for routine visits: locals, office workers and hotel guests who want reliable all-day food in a Mayfair setting. It works for breakfast and brunch, the signature shakshuka, cinnamon porridge and avocado toast make morning visits an obvious choice, and carries through to lunch and dinner thanks to the all-day format. Families and casual groups find it accessible, and its neighbourhood orientation makes it a good option for anyone seeking a mid-register meal in Mayfair without the formality or booking lead time of the area’s fine-dining rooms.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the kitchen’s breakfast and brunch strengths: the shakshuka, cinnamon porridge and avocado toast are called out as signature dishes and give a clear sense of the menu’s direction. Because Popina presents itself as an all-day operation, consider morning or mid-morning for a relaxed brunch seat or a quick office lunch if you’re nearby. The menu likely favours ingredient-driven, straightforward dishes: order simply to appreciate provenance and preparation.

Also consider
Where to go if this is not the right fit
If the plan needs a more formal Mayfair meal, try Comptoir Mayfair. If the brief is a more considered dinner with a clearer culinary point of view, Apricity is the better upgrade.
For a livelier alternative outside the immediate Mayfair daytime lane, Hoppers Marylebone is the better call for a group that wants stronger cuisine focus.
Restaurant context
How it compares in Mayfair and central London
Popina All-day eatery is the easier, more casual choice when the priority is a daytime Mayfair table with minimal friction. Comptoir Mayfair is the closest comparison for location-led Mayfair dining, while Apricity is the trade-up if the brief is a more serious British Contemporary meal at £££.
For a drinks-led meal, Social Wine & Tapas is the better cross-shop because the format is built around wine and sharing. Lavo London suits a glossier group night, while Hoppers Marylebone is the stronger pick when the group wants a more distinctive cuisine brief rather than an all-day café-style stop.
For value, Popina makes sense when convenience is the value. For occasion quality, Apricity or Lavo London should be higher on the list. For an easy alternative when this does not fit the plan, start with Comptoir Mayfair nearby or Hoppers Marylebone for a livelier meal.
