Emy's Kitchen is a Turkish spot that specialises in the kind of breakfasts that will leave you rolling out the door and mumbling about heaven being in Crouch Hill. Bring a group, bring someone who's just run a marathon, bring your hungover partner who needs an emergency bread basket and a pot of melted cheese. Far from being Instagram-bait, the fake flower garland above the kitchen and velvet seats make this a comfortable place to settle in for the Karadeniz breakfast. It comes with a big skillet of melted, mild yellow cheese, thickened with cornmeal, and capable of the kind of cheese pull that'd make an influencer sob. Because melted cheese brings universal joy, groups of friends and families with young children pile in at the weekend to snack on pickled beans, dunk freshly baked cornbread in runny yolks, and fight over the feta-stuffed börek. It’s satisfying, communal stuff, perfect for lazy weekend breakfasts.
