You know a place takes food seriously when the sharing platters arrive towering above the table, loaded with hot honey halloumi, spinach and feta parcels, and beetroot hummus so good you’ll be scraping the bowl. Megan’s in the Tonsleys isn’t just a neighbourhood restaurant - it’s a Mediterranean escape, where the table is always full, and the prosecco flows as freely as the conversation.
Sitting on the corner of Old York Road and Tonsley Hill, this little gem is effortlessly charming. Sunlight pours through the conservatory, bouncing off hanging bamboo lamps and making every dish look even more tempting (as if that were possible). It’s the kind of place where brunch turns into lunch, which turns into an excuse to order just one more cocktail.
Speaking of brunch, it’s a Megan’s speciality. From spiced scrambled tofu on sourdough to a full Mediterranean feast with shakshouka beans, halloumi, and avo, there’s something for early risers and weekend lingerers alike. And if you’re in the mood for something heartier? The open kebabs - especially the posh lamb doner with braised lamb shoulder, feta, and pistachios - are reason enough to make this your new local. For those who believe food is best when shared, the mezze feast is a no-brainer. It’s got everything: arayes burgers, lamb kofte, chilli chicken, fries, pickles, and enough flatbread to scoop up every last bite. Pair it with a bottle of Mirabeau sparkling rosé or keep things relaxed with a mezze bowl piled high with falafel, harissa hummus, and tabbouleh.
Megan’s in the Tonsleys is the kind of spot where you don’t need an excuse to gather - just a love for good food, great company, and the occasional bottomless brunch. No bookings? No problem. They always leave space for walk-ins, because let’s be honest - when the sharing fondue and calamari start calling, waiting just isn’t an option.
