Breakfast
The Good Egg brings a New York Jewish deli sensibility to Stoke Newington Church Street, with a menu built around shakshuka, cornbread, and other dishes that change with the seasons. Its high local score and comparatively modest must-see score point to a genuine neighbourhood favourite rather than a tourist checklist stop, and the budget-friendly pricing keeps it accessible for regular visits. Reviewers consistently praise the cornbread and the kitchen's willingness to accommodate dietary needs. It's best treated as an easy, unpretentious breakfast or brunch rather than a special-occasion outing.

What people say
"We visited this restaurant to try their festive menu, which included ten special courses. My friend is dairy and gluten-intolerant, so the chef made sure to adjust the menu just for him, which was fantastic! The space was warm and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and the quality of the ingredients was unquestionable. Don’t let the casual atmosphere fool you; this is not just a brunch place, but an excellent restaurant."
