Beatrix has been on our "to visit" listing for ages. Ages together with ages. The steady stream of gushing almost the lineament of their cakes did non become unnoticed, together with when you lot add together inwards Sarah's declaration that it's her favourite house inwards Melbourne together with stern weblog commenters demanding nosotros visit, it's clear that we're long overdue.
We in conclusion made amends for luncheon on a Saturday, grabbing a spot at the window counter together with trying non to instruct likewise excited past times the cake counter earlier we'd had something savoury. Thankfully, the savoury card doesn't involve likewise much concentration - there's a granola together with ii vegetarian rolls. We took on both of the rolls, starting with Cindy's little meat-free howl (roasted carmine together with yellowish beetroot with warm ricotta, mint, hazelnut dressing together with roquette, $13.50). It should last noted that neither of these rolls could actually last eaten sandwich-style - nosotros deconstructed them together with dug inwards with cutlery.
First of all, I can't emphasise plenty how keen the breadstuff is hither - these rolls were to boot the bucket for, together with would brand a wonderful luncheon fifty-fifty if the fillings didn't stack up. Thankfully, that's non the illustration hither - the mint was bursting with flavour, working nicely with the sweetness of the beetroot. I idea that it was missing something a fleck salty or tangy to cutting through it all, but Cindy was completely satisfied.
I ordered the Shak-in-a-roll (spicy Israeli-style braised peppers, with a fried egg, fetta together with fresh mint, $12).
This was perfectly suited to my tastes - a soft-fried together with good seasoned egg, a fleck of spice on the peppers together with to a greater extent than mint that was but bursting with freshness. And the bread! Ah the bread. The alone occupation was that it was all together with so wonderful that I scoffed it downwards (plus a practiced component of Cindy's) without making certain I had room for cake. But I gritted my teeth together with pushed on.
I couldn't become past times the rhubarb together with existent vanilla custard crumble tart ($6), which was mercifully modestly sized.
It was fantabulous of course, tangy together with sweetness inwards all the correct places, with a practiced crunchy locomote past times together with lovely lite pastry. Having gone through a bunch of weblog reviews since our see (see below), I'm a fleck lamentable I didn't tackle their signature doughnuts, but there's e'er adjacent fourth dimension I guess.
Cindy looked to the specials board, ordering the raspberry tiramasu tart, at $9.50 a slice.
Nearly $10 seems similar a lot for a while of cake, until you lot encounter the mountainous chunk that they're labelling a slice. It was almost repast size. And it was amazing - soft, fruity together with nicely boozed up, with a generous chocolate sprinkle on locomote past times together with layer subsequently layer of custardy, cakey goodness.
Beatrix lives upwards to all the hype - it's a tiny footling infinite that's cutely decorated, with the glorious sweets cabinet the clear focal point. The staff were friendly together with the service quick together with efficient. The alone vaguely negative affair that I'd bring upwards is that they actually don't seem to cater for vegans, who powerfulness last amend served upwards the route at El Ceed or Grigons & Orr. They produce offering a reasonable total of gluten-free goodies for non-vegan coeliacs though.
