Sage Kitchen is an all day cafe at 88 Mountgrove Road, serving the residential neighbourhood between Finsbury Park and Highbury. Opening from morning to late afternoon every day, it moves comfortably from coffee and breakfast into substantial lunches.
The breakfast and brunch selection is joined by full plates with Mediterranean and broader international influences. Grilled kofta with hummus and harissa, peri peri chicken and falafel based combinations provide bold flavours alongside more familiar cafe dishes.
Pasta, lasagne and a varied salad selection make the menu useful for diners who want a complete lunch. Chicken, halloumi and vegetable combinations sit beside a dedicated vegan plate, giving meat free customers more than a token side or altered breakfast.
Hot drinks and lighter choices support quick daytime visits, while the cooked mains suit a more leisurely meal. Sage Kitchen’s strength is its breadth: it functions as a neighbourhood coffee stop, brunch destination and practical lunch restaurant under one roof.
Address: 88 Mountgrove Road, London N5 2LT, England
