Our Sabbatum involved a few things merely about the Queen Vic Markets together with Flagstaff Gardens, thus nosotros figured nosotros could sneak over to North Melbourne for lunch. After failing at Elceed (I yell upwards they were packing it inwards early on because of the heat), nosotros settled on a provide trip to Twenty & Six Espresso. Given the ridiculous conditions together with our conclusion to walk rather than grab a tram, Twenty & Six's effective AC was very, rattling welcome.
As was their alternative of mutual depression temperature drinks: an iced java ($4.50) for me together with iced chai ($6) for Cindy. Cindy's chai wasn't super strong, but was made from existent tea. We were both happy that the iced beverages came without cream/ice-cream or other sweeteners together with very, rattling glad to run into all that deliciously mutual depression temperature ice.
The card has changed a lot since our first visit. Gone are both the dishes nosotros ordered thus - I consider that the pasty dark rice was their signature dish, thus I was surprised it was absent. In their house were a novel batch of veg-friendly dishes, including a fattoush salad amongst tomato, cucumber, avocado, radish, herbs, flatbread together with roasted shallots ($15, in all likelihood vegan), a brioche French toast amongst poached peach, creme patisserie together with roasted almond icecream ($16) together with an apple, kokosnoot together with fig granola amongst yoghurt, almond milk together with stonefruit ($12).
I went for something eggy - fried polenta amongst braised mushrooms, asparagus, ricotta, salsa verde together with a tedious poached egg ($18).
Twenty & Six accept clearly retained their fondness for fashionable plating - this looked stunning. It tasted pretty dandy every bit well, amongst the herby ricotta spread over crispy polenta squares together with a tower of veggies piled on top. The asparagus was crunchy together with fresh, the mushrooms rich together with the egg oozing perfectly. I quite similar the consider of swapping the touchstone toast out of brekkie for fried polenta squares - something to endeavour at domicile maybe.
Cindy went amongst the vegan sweetness alternative - a chilled tapioca together with kokosnoot pudding, amongst kaffir lime, toasted almonds, lychees together with mango ($14).
There was a lot to similar close this - the fruit was dandy together with the flaked nuts gave a fleck of texture, but they were a piffling heavy handed amongst the kokosnoot cream, pregnant the pudding purpose was a fleck thicker together with a lot richer than Cindy was hoping for. Tapioca/coconut puddings are clearly becoming a fixture on cafe menus, together with I yell upwards Hobart's Property: of Pilgrim remains the gilt standard.
Twenty & Six Espresso was a welcome haven from the oestrus for us, efficiently serving upwards beautiful plates of nutrient together with mutual depression temperature drinks inwards a rattling pleasant space. The staff are friendly together with the card ever interesting - it's definitely worth a watch if you're afterwards something a piffling unlike for brekkie.
