"Burnt is a neighbourhood cafe in a leafy part of Shepherd’s Bush with a bright, wood and rattan bakery-esque interior. Unlike a lot of brunch spots, you can book ahead or get a walk-in table fairly quickly, making it perfect for a family affair. If it’s nice out, head to the back garden with your chicken pesto sandwich—the menu is mostly halal. Our highlight is the spiced chicken schnitzel with caesar salad and a soft-boiled egg. And their baked goods, things like crunchy nut cornflake cakes, are equally tasty." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
