We had a real tranquillity Easter weekend lined up, then nosotros were gear upwardly to become when Eliza tweeted us a tip: breakfast at Lolo & Wren in Brunswick West. It was a house we'd both heard of, but non ane that we'd actually paid whatsoever attending to, failing to notice equally Lolo & Wren made it onto the Herald Sun's peak 25 Melbourne breakfasts, The Age's withdraw to Melbourne's best sandwiches in addition to into the upper echelon of The Age's inexpensive eats guide. Nevertheless, ane await at the bill of fare made it clear that nosotros were inwards adept hands: there's banoffee porridge ($12.50), caramelised pear, almond in addition to walnut pancakes alongside marscapone, rhubarb in addition to huckleberry compote, mint in addition to maple syrup ($15.50), a real fancy sounding bruschetta ($18.50) in addition to enough of other impressive options. There's non a lot on offering for vegans - an adapted version of a haloumi, beans, leek in addition to vegetable escabeche dish ($16.50, in addition to I'm non certain what they create instead of the haloumi) in addition to a patatas bravas side ($9.50).
The cafe itself is a chip out of the agency - tucked nether a newish floor block on Albion Street W of Melville Road. It has a real fashionable fit-out, mixing a uncomplicated build clean await alongside merely about hip recycled touches, similar the communal tabular array in addition to master copy bar (built out of onetime wooden pallets). At 9am on Easter Dominicus things are pretty quiet, but past times the fourth dimension nosotros left at 10ish in that place wasn't a spare tabular array to last flora - Lolo & Wren convey clearly won a devoted next since opening a niggling over a twelvemonth ago.
I considered the haloumi dish but decided that I couldn't resist the allure of the sweetcorn in addition to zucchini corn fritters alongside pepperonata, feta, pebre salsa, chilli jam in addition to avocado ($16.80).
This was incredibly impressive - the fritters were the perfect residual of crispy outside in addition to puffy, soft interior served alongside a lovely mix of accompaniments. The chilli jam offered merely a hint of spiciness, piece the creamy, salty feta in addition to tangy salsa kept every mouthful interesting. This is a vivid breakfast - definitely ane to brand the trip for.
Cindy was drawn to the brioche French toast (with lemon curd, fresh orange, ricotta, candied zest, raspberry compote, babe basil in addition to burnt orangish syrup, $15.50).
It looked fifty-fifty meliorate than my dish - a brilliantly presented plate that made me wishing I'd gone alongside a sweetness companionship for once. The lemon curd was a standout, in addition to the berries in addition to orangish cutting through the richness of the eggy staff of life in addition to the ricotta. It was merely about other nifty meal.
Lolo & Wren is a existent discovery - fancyish breakfast dishes at pretty reasonable prices inwards a lovely setting. The staff were friendly in addition to efficient, the java fantabulous in addition to the bill of fare good stocked alongside interesting dishes. It's non equally conveniently located equally merely about of our other favourites, but it's good worth a see in addition to volition definitely last added to our rotation.
