La Mela is a Mediterranean bistro and coffee house at 25–27 Marsh Hill in Homerton. Open from breakfast into the evening, it combines a warm neighbourhood atmosphere with outdoor seating and a broad menu suited to coffee, brunch, family meals and relaxed celebrations.
Breakfast and brunch move from Turkish eggs, shakshuka and avocado toast to smoked salmon, pancakes and more substantial plates. Sourdough, fresh herbs, yoghurt, roasted vegetables and free range eggs provide common threads, while coffee and fresh juice complete an easy morning visit.
Mezze includes hummus, muhammara, smoky aubergine, falafel, boureka and arancini, with calamari and king prawns adding seafood choices. Fresh pasta, risotto, parmigiana and stuffed aubergine sit beside sea bass, lamb, chicken and steak, giving both Mediterranean and Italian traditions meaningful space.
Tiramisu, cakes and ice cream offer a simple finish, supported by an extensive international wine list and signature cocktails. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are spread throughout the menu, while private dining, takeaway and the welcoming approach to children and dogs broaden the restaurant’s local appeal.
Address: 25–27 Marsh Hill, Homerton, London E9 5QA, United Kingdom
