Food Scene
By day the Good Egg feels more like a cafe, and you don't have to book (although you sometimes might have to queue, especially at the weekend). For dinner, it's a good idea to book ahead but it's always worth asking if they have table at the last minute. Lively, dog, child and baby friendly, and just friendly as such. Fine to go there alone and read your book/take your laptop in the day time, although music and conversation can sometimes be a bit noisy. Always several good veg options too.

Modern Japanese restaurant, 5 mins from the flat. Stylish – a kind of rustic minimal – and extremely well-reviewed. Lots on the menu for vegans and vegetarians.

So, so good! And locally beloved. Our favourites? Fig-ricotta, closely followed by hazelnut, then coffee – or a scoop of each, why not. They also have a decent vegan selection, and they offer child-sized cones (to adults too).
