January 12, 2008: Fandango

Mike in addition to Jo-Lyn differ inwards many matters of taste. Jo knows all the cool hang-outs in addition to likes things a combat artsy. Mike, however, doesn't hesitate to claim "wanker!" at the starting fourth dimension whiff of pretension. So in that location could hardly last a higher recommendation for breakfast at Fandango than that they both love it. And right away nosotros love it too.

We contributed to the real brownish decor past times kicking off alongside a java each - iced for me, in addition to a habitual apartment white for Michael. I'm no connoisseur but mine was pretty good; Michael deemed his 'exceptional'.

I took a jeopardy on the pancakes ($8), served inwards a stack of 3 alongside banana, strawberries, homemade honeyed cream cheese in addition to maple syrup. Our waiter fifty-fifty left a bottle of existent maple syrup on the tabular array inwards illustration I wanted a meridian up. I didn't, this was perfectly sugariness equally it was. It looked gorgeous, it had a reasonable serve of fruit, in addition to the cream cheese was lovely (even though I'm non unremarkably a fan of honey). At $12 it would last splendid value, in addition to at $8 it's a steal! The serving size mightiness expect small-scale but it was truly to a greater extent than than I could get got - I barely fifty-fifty began the terminal pancake (though Michael had a expert shot at it).

Michael's top dog repast was poached eggs alongside beetroot in addition to fetta relish, spinach, sourdough in addition to mushrooms ($14.50). He had no problem polishing off this large plateful either. The mushrooms were peculiarly expert in addition to the egg good poached.

So, about other peachy niggling breakfast location discovered inwards our local area. (Will nosotros always run out of them, or volition the inner northward cafe scene boot the bucket on to proliferate until every kitsch shop-front in addition to terrace menage has an espresso machine in addition to a twee cakestand?) In Fandango's favour is its proximity to the Queen Victoria Markets - a recipe for many to a greater extent than where's the beef? breakfasts to come.
