Highbury Arts Club

Small cafe with a short menu of brunch items. Dishes are usually based on the concept of a traditional brunch, but each dish has its twist: avo toast has a burrata and harrisa on it, which adds 2 more layers of flavour. Toast with poached egg is accompanied with buttery fried mushrooms and parsley pesto (the pesto is super yummy and highlights the mushroom aroma!) . The waitresses are extremely nice and attentive. Definitely a fantastic place for a weekend brunch! Tip: after brunch, drop by the bakery next door for some takeaway goodies.

We visited on Saturday morning and ordered the avacado toast and grilled chicken bap. For such small portions, they charged £23. The orange juice was served in a glass the size of a thimble and that was £4. I used to visit a few years ago and they did a lovely Spanish breakfast and it was reasonably priced. I don't think we will return.

Lovely food, tasted great, was just really surprised at how small the portion sizes were for the price. Paid £9.50 for 1 and a half slices of toast, 1 egg, 1 slice of salmon, and 1 and a half pieces of asparagus. Took friends there who were visiting from overseas and was embarrassed at how little they got for their money. Shame as otherwise would have been great. Good coffee too but won't be back in a hurry. Thought the 12.5% service charge for a lunch was a bit cheeky too!
