So we are actually the worst at finding nice places to do a bit of weekend dining. I'm sure there are places in the Brunswick/Carlton area that are renowned for their breakfast fare, however we just couldn't find any! So after we drove around a bit we were getting too hungry and determined to just pick the first cafe with a free table we could find!
Individual ratings:
Tanya: 4/10
Base: Some sort of supermarket bought multigrain bread. Disappointing.
Eggs: Cooked perfectly, I'll give 'em that.
Sauce: Not terrible, but not nice either. You can see from the pics above that it was quite thin and watery, and not enough in any case. It had a mustardy flavour.
Ham: Not ham, bacon. Although I thought it wasn't very nice, just not cooked very well.
Price: $15.50
Coffee: Drinkable, but not great.
Service: Staff were friendly.
Other: Also served with single stalk of asparagus wrapped in bacon. Ok, but weird?
Overall comment: Travelling off the beaten track (ie the CBD) in this case did not produce promising results. While edible, CV's eggs benny left a lot to be desired. It was very ho hum.
Lil sis: 3.5/10
Not at all satisfied with the bonus edition of eggs Benny, given it was on Lygon street may have been a mistake as it is renowned for its Italian restaurants. Breakfast needs lots of work! It was on crappola bread and the sauce was runny and there was not enough of it to compliment the dish. Coffee was ok and eggs were cooked well. I’ve had worse!
And how does that look on the benedict-o-meter? Rounded up to 4/10 Benedicts!
Check out my map to see the other eggs benny locations lil sis and I have checked out.
Well it LOOKS good in any case. Sorry it disappointed. I've never actually had eggs benedict! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
