Ottolenghi Islington
A North London family rite of passage — Saturday brunch at Ottolenghi Islington is the definition of a great family morning.

My Favourite Cafe on Essex Road is the kind of no-frills Turkish-run caff that keeps Islington workers and locals coming back for proper breakfasts without the markup. The set breakfasts (around £6) and bacon and egg baps earn repeat mentions from regulars, alongside Turkish gozleme that one reviewer called "to die for". The menu's broader than your typical greasy spoon, mixing full English plates with jacket potatoes, burgers, and milkshakes. Highchairs and buggy space make it workable for families popping in after the neighbouring Sainsbury's run. "No fuss place which is always nice in an overpriced area like this," one parent notes. Reviewers describe the Turkish owners as keeping things friendly and freshly cooked. Best for a filling, affordable breakfast before the day kicks off.
