French café just across from Highbury & Islington Tube and Overground station. Fabulous pancakes with caramelised banana, yoghurt, syrup and raspberry sauce. Orange and polenta cake was also excellent with a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. The drinks are modest-sized but, like everything else, extremely well done. Stepped in because it was opened before 9am on a Sunday morning. What a lovely surprise.

I’ve been living in the area for 3 years and I regret I didn’t discover Vertige earlier! Had a Vertige Omelette as brunch and I absolutely loved it. The portion is perfect - enough to fill you up but not making you feel heavy afterwards, and it is not too greasy. The small terrace in the back is so airy and bright and I’m happy it’s not too crowded even it seems to be quite a popular cafe. I’ll definitely return and try more dishes!

Best brunch in the area, hands down! Exceptional quality ingredients — the sourdough is out of this world. The best shakshuka I've had in London, and top-notch coffee, too. Very prompt service and lovely cosy atmosphere.

Couldn’t fault the food one bit! I could honestly say that’s one of the best breakfasts I’ve had - the sourdough bread is incredible. Would highly recommend visiting here!

Great food and coffee at this classic on Highbury roundabout. Sitting in the glass-covered patio for brunch is really nice! They are fast, efficient and nice even when it gets very busy on the weekend. Have now been quite a few times and will continue to go for brunch, coffee or to buy delicious pastries to takeaway. Highly recommend!

Very nice café. We were there for lunch on a Saturday. Very good menu. We had felafel (delicious with hummus and pomegranate) Shakshouka very tasty and their take on Benedict (very generous portion). Lovely coffee too! Service was also very courteous and nice which is always a plus when they’re so busy!
