This was my daily stop for breakfast. every weekday for 8 years back in the early 2000s. Lovely family, great food and such a wonderful area of London. After work a few beers across the road in Williams Wine and Ale House or, ‘The Williams’ as it was known. London changes so quickly neither place is there any more but live on I’m sure in the memories of many a City worker.

Are they closed now? We moved office out of the city and it looks like there’s some haloumi place there now. Nooo!

Read about the renowned Mr City Sandwich Cafe on the Net when planning our trip to London this year. So pleased to find you today as we took our walk round Brick Lane, Spitalfields and the Aldgate area.
Your food really is as good as people say.
Bought a huge wonderful home made bap with breaded roast chicken, home made stuffing and coleslaw. Totally delicious and a perfect lunch.
Thanks so much for your friendly service and the interesting info about this wonderful historic area. Hoping to see you next time we come over as you make the best homemade sandwiches in London!

I must say that I have eaten in many establishments in over 23 years worked throughout the city and have never came across a sandwich bar like mr city with incredible choices of food on offer and not only with piles of choices but with piles of flavour as well as outstanding personality from each individual member of this family I can only say this dinos family is 110% the best I have ever met and will ever meet without a doubt old school was only here once and I want to thank everyone in the dinos family for all that great 5 star sevice they provided me with and will be greatly missed
many thanks
all the best

Thankyou for serving me the best lunchtime food, I think I’ve ever had. I dont get it with places like this why people go for the chains that are all over the place. If i come back to the area again. Mr City is where I will be eating.

Great food served by very friendly people.

This place was my morning oasis before heading to the office in Bishopsgate. After spending 15 years working nr Aldgate East, it was nice to finally find a place like Sidoli’s on Leman St.

I can still see Mirella singing “Do they know it’s Christmas” by Band Aidat the top of her voice when in came on the radio at the run up to Xmas. Much to Danielli’s dismay and slight embarrassment.

I worked in the City for 10 years; years later in Spitalfields before moving back home to Scotland a few years ago. This brings back fond memories of all the Italian sandwich bars and cafes that provided fantastic service and quality foods to all us hungry office workers! Why on earth you would want a prepacked sarnie is beyond me. These shops knew all their regulars and it was as much about the jovial banter as the sandwiches, cakes or coffee. The cheeriness of the proprietors was often welcome in the stress of the working day.

I love this blog, catch up with it every Friday evening and it spirits me back to a vibrant part of London I truly love and miss. Thank you to The Gentle Author.

I can’t understand why anyone would go to a bog standard chain in the morning or lunchtime when you can get ‘proper’ food with a healthy dose of abuse (Mirella you know I mean you). Apart from the cracking food, the banter takes you away from your e-mails and Blackberry and actually provides a welcome break from the desk.

Bob, Mirella, Dan – you create a well deserved fierce loyalty from your customers, many thanks from one of them!
