Late nights, usually means late mornings, and often, I am not ready to have "lunch". I still want my breakfast. Found this place, along Fitzroy's myriad of shops and cafes on Brunswick Street. Its a turkish-family run cafe, that's relaxed in atmosphere, reflective of its easy-going decor. There's seating inside and outside on Brunswick Street, but we chose to dine - in at the back, out in the small courtyard.
Service was really friendly, and warm, and most importantly, I noticed that the menu had "all day breakfast". Score! I love all day breakfasts. I keep it simple and go with the Sausage and Eggs - Fried eggs, with beef sausages on sourdough, as well as order their coffee (long black).
Initially, when they brought out the food, it was the wrong order, but the waiter noticed it straight away, before I'd even had a chance to say anything. It was all fixed up in a flash, and told us that the chef was a little old, and needed some new glasses.
The coffee was at a good temperature, and strong, without the bitterness. Unfortunately I didn't get to see where they get their beans from. Tucking in to a simple breakfast like the Sausage and Eggs was gratifying. Perfect fried eggs, (yolk not too runny), and the sausages were finger - sized but equally yummy! The sourdough, was a support act, providing me with something to scoop up the rest of the plate with. For $10.90, I was happy with the meal.
I can see this place as somewhere I could potentially become a regular of. read more
