About this restaurant

Great for brunch
Innovative
Vegetarian-friendly

Please note we don't take reservations for our outside courtyard area or on weekend brunches - but we welcome walk-ins for both + do our best to seat you swiftly + efficiently!

Just off Soho’s Carnaby Street in Kingly Court + serving food all day long, The Good Egg is a spectacular all day dining destination for a Tel Aviv-inspired breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner (try the award-winning shakshuka!).

The menus here cater very well to both meat eaters + veggie/vegan diners alike; central to the restaurant's vibrant atmosphere is a huge clay oven + long open kitchen bar, where guests can choose to dine while they enjoy the theatre of the chefs at work, unless they’d prefer a table away from the action.

Stunning seasonal house cocktails, craft beers, wines + desserts are on offer here too, making this the perfect pit stop.

Really delicious breakfast and much different from the normal. Flat whites were excellent. Service was so so. Orange juice was blah. Overall it’s a great restaurant and I’d go back for a special occasion and avoid ordering the OJ.

We are regular Good Egg patrons. My husband and I walked in at 10.40 on Monday in kingly court. The maitre d’ said they were full despite all the tables inside being empty. He was very short with us. We asked if we could wait for a table and he said everything was completely full until 11.30. We looked confused and he said rather abruptly “you look like you don’t believe me. Have a look if you want to check my iPad.”…. I booked a table inside there on Open Table three minutes later but we were so out off by him that we went to the Ivy instead. So unimpressed with his manners, and remain confused about why he wouldn’t give us a table for two when I was then able to book three mins later.

I wanted to like the food, but maybe I picked the wrong dishes? Wanted the lamb hash but was still being prepped. Shakshuka unfortunately was bland, lack of seasoning and spices. Babka was quite dry and the honeycomb stuck in teeth on every chew, not pleasant Merguez sausage had multiple bit of bone/gristle, my partner hurt her tooth eating it. Told server about all the issues got us a replacement merguez portion. No sign of manager to talk to. The tahini shake was tasty! Might try again and try different dishes next time but won’t rush back. Service was fast and friendly from the waiters.

Saturday evening booking for 8:15pm and the host offered to store our bags for us which was great but this is where the service peaked. By 8:50pm no servers had come near us and we had source our own water for the table. Once we asked could we order from a servers who had just sorted a table who were seated after us, we didn’t have another person come to the table until we were told it was last orders so would we like another drink. Food was tasty and this hasn’t been my experience on other visits but we struggled to even get someone’s attention for the bill. Disappointing visit.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Good Egg. The mezze dishes we ordered were full of flavour, in particular the pumpkin hummus and whipped feta with dill were outstanding. The pita was fluffy and lightly topped with za’atar and olive oil, whilst the pickle plate may not be to everyone’s liking but I couldn’t help but devour the dish! A must order from the small plates section was green falafel and zhoug which was served on a bed of creamy smooth tahini. I was not disappointed with my pomegranate margherita (an off the menu cocktail order), it was vibrant, refreshing and sweet. Whilst I would return for the amazing dishes, the service was appalling at Good Egg and a real let down. We frequently had to grab the attention of our waitress to order, they were inattentive and stand offish when we spoke to them. Sadly this makes coming back to the Good Egg unlikely as the overall service was far from hospitable.

Food was tasty, but nothing special. Good Egg used to be great but the city has moved beyond it to some extent. The service here was very poor, hard to get an allergen menu and had to work to flag down waiters at every stage to get any service. Would not recommend these days.
