Cindy too I bring been talking nearly going to Residential Kitchen for ages - it's but upwardly the road, has a decent reputation too is opened upwardly for breakfast, luncheon too dinner. Somehow we've but never got our deed together though - either riding the tram farther upwardly Lygon to Small Block or Mankoushe, or going for an fifty-fifty to a greater extent than local choice inward Cafe Lua or Le Miel.

But nosotros in conclusion remembered, using a lack of milk inward the refrigerator on Mon forenoon every bit an excuse to enterprise upwardly the street to cheque it out. It's a overnice big space, alongside high ceilings, big windows too a laid-back vibe (at to the lowest degree at 8am on a Monday).

The brekkie carte du jour is pretty straightforward, alongside a few master copy twists. I went for i of their wackier options: a breakfast burek ($16). This is a big pastry scroll, plunked on a plate of white beans too topped alongside a poached egg too a sprinkling of dukkah.

It plant a piddling combat improve inward theory than inward exercise - the pastry ends upwardly a combat soggy from the saucy beans, too there's a slightly strange combination of flavours. The burek itself is a tiny combat sweet, upwardly against the savoury bits too bobs or too hence it. Still, it's overnice that they're trying something out of the ordinary. 

Cindy went to the other destination of the scale, ordering the most basic affair on the menu: toast too spreads ($6, served alongside vegemite, marmalade too fig jam).

There's non much to tell nearly this actually - it was toast. Good bread, toasted nicely too a decent array of spreads to sample on it. 

The java was adept (they're using Campos coffee) too the service was fine. That's nearly the best agency to amount upwardly the whole experience: fine. Good but non great. I'm glad nosotros in conclusion got there, but I'm non certain we'll hurry back.
