Medley Cafe & Restaurant is one of my top picks for breathtaking river views & views of the Story…read moreBridge, while enjoying delicious food & coffee with friends.
This modern cafe & restaurant resides in the same area of the heritage listed Yungaba bulilding; Yungaba meaning "welcome" or "land of the sun" in indigenous language.This building not only welcomed & housed new migrants from 1887, it was also a military hospital, it housed the homeless & it was a reception centre, post World War 2.
This place is all about fresh locally sourced food with a seasonal menu. As the co owners have a Greek heritage, & the chef has a French background with influences in European, North African, Asian, Pacific Island food. This cafe truly represents world food; food full of love & flavours.
I decided to order the Catalan Baked eggs $18.90, baked in Piperade (which is a combination of onion, capsicum, tomatoes & herbs) & chorizo, served with thyme, olive oil infused sourdough. This dish is one the best baked eggs dishes I've tried, if not the best. It has so much flavour, I nearly licked the bowl. I loved it. I only wished it came with 2 pieces of sourdough so I could've mopped up the rest of the sauce. This breakfast went well with their freshly squeezed orange juice. After breakfast, I ordered a lemon meringue with some Earl Grey tea, as well as a long macchiato. The Clean Skin blend was delicious.
Service is very important for us, and the service here is amazing! Apart from the beautiful views, and the fact that I want to come back to try the lunch and dinner (not all on one day of course!); the service is what makes me want to return even more.
