To beat the wintery chill I chose the rice pudding for my breakfast and an excellent choice it was! Warm creamy rice, topped with pistachios, a sprinkle of sumac and the most divine poached strawberries. They were topped with some rosewater. A perfect balance of flavours and textures. The crunch of the pistachios was a great contrast to the soft rice and sweet strawberries and rosewater. I could happily eat this again.

The bill is left at your table and items are added to it and at the end of you are ready to leave, you take the bill to the counter to pay.
On my second visit, I got a seat at a bench overlooking their courtyard. A lovely wintery view while I drank my very good coffee and waited for my lunch.

Lunch for me was the baked eggs with eggplant kasundi (relish) topped with chorizo and fetta. It was an unusual mix of flavours, the Bengali relish with the Mediterranean chorizo. But it was very tasty I have to say. A beautiful warming dish.

ReplyDeleteWee Jeanie is great .... but it is getting alot of attention recently making it harder to get a seat there !! great review
ReplyDeleteI need to head to yarraville soon... seems like the scene is getting better
ReplyDeleteI've had the welsh rarebit - it was very, very yummy but of rather mean proportions.
ReplyDeleteWe couldn't get a table the other weekend, they were chockers. Will definitely try another time
ReplyDeleteid liek to have that rice pudding for breakfast every day thank you :) looks soo goood :)
ReplyDeleteI chose a mid-week to avoid the crowd, it does seem to be "the place" at moment. If I go to a popular place at the weekends, I try and go early to avoid the crowds.
ReplyDeleteKenny, sorry to hear the rarebit was a bit 'lean', the two dishes I had were plenty filling.
Vivienne, the rice pudding was great. I'm trying to figure our how they poached their strawberries, they were awesome!
Deb I went here with Bryan and unknowingly we ordered the exact same dishes as you!! Great minds!
ReplyDeleteThe strawberries were incredible, weren't they?
Unfortunately we got slow service and the coffee was good but not brilliant. Sure they are just finding their feet still.
