The Good Egg

There are a couple of things to know before you visit The Good Egg in Stoke Newington for brunch. First, it’s extremely popular so be prepared to queue, and second, everything’s sharing-style, so definitely lean towards coming with a few people. The Middle Eastern-inspired restaurant is reminiscent of an NYC-style brunch spot and it’s a popular, if a little inconsistent quality-wise, N16 mainstay. But if you stick to anything with freshly baked bread you’ll be happy. The pastrami-cured lox plate with toasted challah is a favourite.
