1. For a New Brunch Menu: The Good Egg
What: The Good Egg have unveiled their summer garden terrace, and with it, a new brunch menu. Headed by chefs Joel Braham, Alex Coppard and Oded Mizrachi, the three friends have brought the al fresco dining spirit of Tel Aviv to East London with their new sharing brunch plates.
Eat and Drink: Focusing on the distinctive delis of Montreal and Tel Aviv’s street food scene, The Good Egg celebrates the wider global influence of exilic Jews on traditional Jewish cooking, using fresh British produce for their seasonal menu. The new brunch menu centres on the Jerusalem Breakfast with a selection of smaller plates to share, including; whipped feta with grilled apricot and dukkah; fudgey eggs and everything seasoning; grilled hogget merguez sausage with preserved lemon yoghurt; and ‘Dak Dak’ salad with pine nuts and lemon. There will also be Oded’s usual selection of ever-popular Babkas; from salted caramel and pistachio, to date and pecan, as well as larger plates and sandwiches, from shakshuka to a Montreal Reuben pita.
