From runny yolks to eggs poached to perfection, there’s something magical about an eggy Instagram moment. But Instagram aside, it’s the breakfast staple we can’t get enough of.
If you’re wondering where you can top up your eggy content, we’ve rounded up London’s best Instagrammable yolks, from Eggslut’s hangover curing baps to Dishoom’s infamous naan rolls.

Eggbreak
Give yourself a well deserved break this weekend and scoot on over down to this Notting Hill eggy favourite. The neighbourhood hotspot serves up eggs all day, every day.
Tuck into your favourite egg dishes with a special Eggbreak added twist, from the salmon dish cake topped with poached eggs, sriracha hollandaise and spinach, to the spicy piggy bun, a Gochujang-spiced pork patty, homemade chilli jam, ginger, fried egg, American cheese and potato brioche bun.

For a savoury take on the classically sweet French toast, dive into the hot honey French toast served with za’atar, cherry tomatoes, garlic, thyme, poached eggs, labneh and Dr Sting’s hot honey – yum.

Duck & Waffle
Serving up Instagrammable yolks around the clock is 24-hour restaurant, Duck & Waffle. You’ll find the iconic restaurant serving up a playful take on traditional British cuisine and some of the best views over London’s soaring skyline.

There’s a meal for every taste bud, from breakfast bites including the duck egg en cocotte with wild mushrooms, Gruyère, truffle and soldiers, to Colombian eggs served with tomato and spring onions, avocado and sourdough toast, to their legendary waffles. You can’t go wrong with the ‘duck & waffle’, a classic crispy duck leg confit with fried duck egg and a drizzle of mustard maple syrup served on top of a carb-loaded waffle.

The Good Egg
The good, the bad and the eggy… The clue’s in the name for this one, but The Good Egg serves up some of London’s best runny yolks, from brunch favourites like shakshuka to Middle Eastern delights like zhoug fried egg cornbread.
From brunch favourites like shakshuka to Middle Eastern delights like zhoug fried egg cornbread.
With two locations – one in Stoke Newington and the other in Soho – you’ll find them serving up flavours inspired by the Middle East, whilst nodding to Tel Aviv’s street food scene and Jewish delis and bagel bakeries in New York and Montreal. The result? Seriously tasty dishes served from breakfast to dinner.

Eggslut
London’s favourite egg joint, Eggslut arrived on the scene in 2018 and quickly became the go-to spot for busy city types to grab a breakfast-to-go and lunch on the run, all the while satisfying their eggy cravings.
The perfect hangover cure...
The perfect hangover cure, you’ll find the LA brand serving up the likes of The Fairfax, a sandwich made with soft scrambled eggs with cheese served inside a brioche bun; the Gaucho, a seared wagyu tri-tip, cage-free over medium egg, chimichurri, red onions and dressed rocket tucked inside a brioche; or ‘the Slut’, made from a coddled egg on top of smooth potato puree that’s been poached in a glass jar and served with baguette slices.

EggRun
Vegans, just because you can’t eat eggs doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the runny goodness. Over at EggRun, they’ve got you covered with their delicious eggy bap options. We love the Veganrun, made with vegan scrambled eggs, caramelised onions, vegan cheddar cheese, chives, chilli, spring onions and EggRun’s secret sauce served in a warm vegan brioche bap.

The eggy content doesn’t stop at vegan though. They’ve got egg options for all, from their Mediterranean Cup complete with (real) scrambled eggs, cherry plum tomatoes, capers, olives, feta and thyme, to the Truffle Run, an organic 100% beef patty, fried egg, lettuce, cheddar cheese, tomato and EggRun’s secret truffle sauce on a flour bun.

Here to prove grab-and-go lunches don’t have to be boring is Yolk, London’s fine fast food chain serving up baps without the compromise.

Elevate your Monday morning with one of their freshly-baked organic white baps piled with a runny egg and melty cheese or try one of their popular poached egg pots, from the Benedict to the mushroom loaded pot.

Oklava
Set up by Selin and Laura, Oklava serves up some of the best Turkish-Cypriot cuisine in London, from seftali kebabs to day boat seafood that’s as fresh as it comes. Side note: don’t miss your chance to try their Cyprus potato chips – they are something else.
Doughy, cheesy and topped with an egg yolk...
But for the egg lovers, take your lunch game up a notch and book in for Oklava’s legendary pide. Doughy, cheesy and topped with an egg yolk, it’s serious food porn and needs to be tried at least once.

Dishoom
If there’s one place in London that does brunch right, it’s Dishoom. The Indian eatery has become renowned for its cooked breakfasts and legendary naan rolls.

If you manage to wangle yourself a table, spend the morning indulging on one of their naan rolls – we love the Wrestler’s Naan Roll. Named for Koolar & Co.’s wrestler-sized portions, it’s packed out with smoked streaky bacon, peppery pork sausages and runny-yolked egg – it’s worth Instagramming before you dive in.

Hoppers
For a taste of Sri Lanka, look to Hoppers who just so happen to serve up some of the best hoppers in the capital. Inspired by Sri Lanka’s village toddy shops, Hoppers is home to authentic classics.
We’d recommend adding one of their egg hoppers to your order and enjoy alongside chutneys and sambol.
