I visited this place for the first time the other day. It is a nice place to have a bit of lunch with nice decor and atmosphere. I had the mozzarella salad which was a bit bland. I will visit again and have something different as there is a wide range of choices.
I asked for the egg white to be cooked so there was no slimy white, I’m glad that this request was met in my eggs florentine order. I was expecting more flavour in the hollandaise sauce but I was still pleased with the dish as a whole. They were generous with the amount of sauce. I got apple and orange juice but could mainly taste carrots, I mixed it with my friend’s fresh juice which included orange. This did the trick and balanced out the juice and I was satisfied. I’ve been to fancier places which have had bad french toast, this did not disappoint. I was glad I ordered the french toast which satisfied my sweet craving, generous amount of maple syrup and tasty fruit balanced the toast. As it wasn’t busy, the chef said she could make me these breakfast items at 5pm. She was lovely and friendly. The place is child friendly with a small corner for children to play in, with toys and even a chalk board. I have been past the place many times, and was surprised to see it was bigger inside than I thought as it goes further down with more seating. The back area was slightly cold.
All time favourite breakfast ! EGG ROYAL Is made to perfection Hollandaise sauce is so delicious the egg is gowy and cooked in professionalism The boulangerie has many other varieties that i had previously I don't think i took pictures but i had their salads they are very unique and taste different from the usual options. They have Quiche vegetarian and meat They have cakes and sweets with lots of options Orange juice is freshly squeezed and always sweet not sugar added Variety of paninis available Lovely atmosphere Staff are helpful and very friendly I'll add more photos in future if I find them in my camera
Greeted with a smile. The place was buzzing. Menu is good and the freshness of the food was something special. Service was on point. Food I took a few pics which I don't do normally. Would I come back hell yes. Great place and looking forward to trying more of the menu ps. Try the pastries before you leave.
Strange reviews - one extreme to another but on my personal visit I found all the staff extremely friendly, food was delicious and well presented. We were even offered tiny taster pizza ( It was yummy, we will certainly try that next time, great idea) customers on nearby tables also liked the little tasters and were impressed as it got us all talking about it. I just have to add that the floor tiling and bathroom sink is impressive too 😄 Thanks guys well done. Looking forward to visiting again.
