Seasonal cafe with creative brunch, baked goods, & garden
"In a leafy, residential part of Shepherd’s Bush, Burnt is a trendy neighbourhood cafe 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. If it’s nice out, head to the back garden that feels like your mate pulled out some furniture from their garage—in a charming way. Our menu highlight is the spiced chicken schnitzel with caesar salad and a fried egg." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

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, with things like crunchy nut cornflake cakes, appeal to all ages." - rianne shlebak
"In a leafy, residential part of Shepherd’s Bush, this trendy neighbourhood cafe has a bright, light wood and rattan interior. But on sunny days, Burnt’s back garden calls to anyone who likes drinking coffee for the ritual of slowly sipping rather than a functional caffeine kick. Spend a few hours out back, tucking into their brilliant brunch menu of things like chicken schnitzel with caesar salad. It’s one of the best spots in London for creative dishes that don’t make smashed avocado their main personality trait." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

You’ll want to spend a few hours here, tucking into their brilliant brunch menu of things like chicken schnitzel with caesar salad. It’s one of the best spots in London for more creative breakfast dishes that don’t make smashed avocado their main personality trait. photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat Food Rundown photo credit: Koray Firat Chicken Pesto Sandwich A juicy fried chicken sandwich with an excellent ratio of meat to baguette, this is a top-tier lunch. It’s the kind of thing you see on TikTok and think you can make yourself, only to realise Burnt does it better. photo credit: Koray Firat Spiced Buttermilk Chicken Schnitzel, Caesar Salad, Soft Boiled Egg, Parmesan Breadcrumbs In case you haven’t guessed, this place loves fried chicken. And we love their fried chicken too. The schnitzel and salad are the perfect combination of crispy, savoury, and refreshing (hello green beans in the caesar salad sauce). And the parmesan crisp on top adds some nice texture and saltiness. photo credit: Rianne Shlebak Miso, Caramelised White Chocolate, and Smoked Almond Cookie The salty miso in this golden cookie is too overpowering. We’d prefer it a little sweeter. photo credit: Rianne Shlebak Crunchy Nut Cornflake Cake, Miso Apple Caramel This feels like our favourite childhood dessert just grew up and signed a mortgage deed. It’s a classic cornflake cake, with miso apple caramel which adds a nice richness and means you won’t be able to scoff it down like you used to." - Rianne Shlebak
