Meet your new fave brunch order.
I will never not order shakshuka at brunch. I’ve tried to resist the urge and switch my order up—but I always come back to my No. 1… and she never disappoints. When I first stumbled on shakshuka almost a decade ago, the dish was a rare menu find (and my reqs for it were met with blank stares). But, lately, it’s been ~shaking~ up the brunch scene. If you’re not yet familiar, the Middle Eastern dish typically features eggs served in a tomato-based sauce, coupled with crusty bread (dipping is the best part, obv). Essentially, a brekkie game changer—and I stand by that. Here, where you can—and should—order up around town.
Taverna Agora
Going Greek has never tasted so good thanks to Taverna’s baked eggs served with roasted red peppers, Kalamata olives, greens, pickled red onions and feta—plus a side of pita for dunking, natch. @tavernaagora
Hummingbird
Green eggs and ham? More like green shakshuka. This Dock 1053 brunch best puts a green spin on its shak, complete with spinach, Brussels sprouts, fennel, onion, chickpeas, and herbs and spices. @hummingbirdral
Neuse River Brewing & Brasserie
A brew-tiful way to start your Sunday found via the “Belgian-inspired and Carolina-crafted” beer and shak pairing within Neuse’s sunlit interior or out on the greenery-filled patio. @neuseriverbrewingco
Rosewater Kitchen & Bar
Whether you’re dipping, dunking or spooning, this Giorgios Bakatsias gem’s savory tomato-bell pepper fusion is one tasty way to get your fill of veggies for the day. Say less! @rosewaterkitchen
Whiskey Kitchen
Rise and shine out on WK’s sunny patio with this bright and light shakshuka comprised of a rustic tomato sauce, soft eggs, feta and sumac onions. Double your dose of tomato with a bloody to boot. @whiskey.kitchen
Wye Hill
You’ll want to swim in the savory stewed tomatoes, served with elite-bread-of-breads focaccia—I said what I said—and topped with goat cheese and avocado. No judgment… @wyehill
