Jack's Wife Freda

Green Shakshuka

Eggs poached in a vibrant tomatillo and herb sauce — lighter and brighter than the red version, with a grassy, slightly tangy finish that sets it apart from every other shakshuka in the city

Rose Harissa Eggs

Soft-scrambled eggs served with rose harissa, a floral and mildly spicy condiment that elevates a simple preparation into something genuinely memorable

Rosewater Waffles

Waffles infused with rosewater, topped with Lebanese yogurt

Chicken Schnitzel

Crispy breaded chicken cutlet served with fresh salad

Cacio e Pepe Waffle

A savory waffle built around the classic Roman pasta flavors — sharp pecorino and cracked black pepper — an inventive brunch item that rewards the curious diner

Roti with Soft Scrambled Eggs

Flaky, buttery roti served alongside creamy scrambled eggs — a nod to the South African breakfast tradition and one of the menu's most comforting offerings

House Cured Duck Bacon

In-house cured duck bacon with crispy texture and salty bite

Madame Freda

Pressed sandwich with duck prosciutto, cheddar bechamel, gruyere and a sunny side up egg

Salad with Lemon Dressing

A crisp, herb-forward salad dressed with a bright lemon vinaigrette — simple but executed with the kind of care that makes it a reliable side or light starter

Malva Pudding

A traditional South African sponge dessert — sticky, warm, and soaked in a buttery caramel sauce — one of the few desserts on the menu that genuinely earns its place

Grapefruit and Yogurt

Fresh grapefruit served with yogurt, a light and refreshing starter

Spaghetti Squash Bowl

Roasted spaghetti squash with Mediterranean toppings

Freda's Lemonade

A house lemonade that regulars swear by — refreshing and lightly sweetened, a good non-alcoholic anchor for a long brunch

Avocado Toast with Fries

Jack's Breakfast
