Thyme on the Terrace
For some reason I have never been to Thyme on the Terrace.
I often visit Warrandyte to browse the shops, visit the market, or walk along
the Yarra but strangely I never really go there for lunch or coffee. Anyway,
today I thought I would try it out. It is located at the end of a strip of shops
and would be lovely sitting out the front in the warmer weather. However, today
was cold so we sat inside but sat in the window so we essentially had the same
effect without the chill... The tables were covered in green tablecloths and
the decor was Australiana. Most dishes on the menu are around $16 to $20 with
some more indulgent options also available. I felt like smoked salmon and I had
a number of meals to choose from such as the Salmon focaccia ($17.90) and the
Yarra Catch open sandwich ($18.90). I eventually
went with the Quiche with Tasmanian smoked salmon, cream cheese, spinach,
kalamata olives, and caramelised onions ($16.90). Home baked on the premises
and served with salad and their homemade potato wedges. This was a very
generous serve and delicious! A large wedge of quiche with the novel inclusion
of olives tasted really good as were the wedges. I managed to finish the lot
but definitely had no room for a dessert today. My friend decided to have
something from the specials board. Smoked trout and camembert tart with salad
and wedges ($13.50). This too was yummy and nearly as big as my meal. Great
value! The table service was friendly and efficient. The man that I assume was
the owner was very hands on which is great and treated everyone equally. I hate
when cafes favour customer service for regular customers at the expense of
other patrons. Unfortunately, our lattes ($3.50) had a slightly burnt taste to
them. Oh well, I will just have tea instead next time. There were a number of cakes
available that sounded delicious but the Lemon Tart must be good as everyone
there was ordering it. Not sure how much the cakes are, as the prices were not
displayed. The Ice-cream cake sounded intriguing though and I don’t mean an
ice-cream cake... but ice-cream baked in a cake! Very interesting and would
love to try it next time.
