WHAT WE ATE...

I picked the ‘Chai spiced French toast, ricotta, honey, rhubarb, raspberries and almonds ($16.00)’. What a gorgeous dish! The dried rhubarb standing proud made a striking statement whilst the scattering of pansy petals and flaked almonds added a graceful touch. The ginger flavour in the French toast was balanced by the tartness of the compote and the lusciousness of the ricotta. I loved it!

My dining companion chose the ‘Smoked mushrooms, beetroot hummus, broccolini, wilted kale, toasted buckwheat, almonds, scrambled eggs, grain sourdough ($18.00)’. This was also fantastic. The buttery eggs, the smoky mushrooms and the amazing flavour on the kale created a brilliant dish. 

WHAT WE DRANK…

My latte ($3.80) made with Capulus Coffee had a robust flavour.
