European | Melbourne, AUSTRALIA
It
never ceases to amaze me that no matter how much food the other
travel bunnie and I eat on any given night during any holidays, even
if it’s was a mammoth feast, the morning after always guarantees
two empty stomachs and desires to go out and hunt for some more food.
We
woke up the morning after our meal at Sichuan House, feeling rather
refreshed and happy. A big day was ahead of us and we had to refuel
ourselves. A short walk around Melbourne’s CBD took us to Hardware
Lane where I thought we could enjoy a much raved breakfast at The
Hardware Societe. Unfortunately for us, I had been so excited about
eating that I forgot about the article that I read on GoodFood about
the popular café’s temporary closure due to fire damages.
I
looked through my list and decided to go to the European (which is
literally within 5 minute walk away from our hotel). If you are after
something more creative and fancy for breakfast, the European perhaps
wouldn’t be your best pick. This elegant, old-fashioned cafe is all
about keeping it traditional, the food is honest and simple, and I
liked it that way.
A
serve of the the European breakfast –
eggs, bacon, mushroom, tomato & toast ($18.50)
and a serve of the daily special: Omelette
w’ chorizo, spinach and goat’s cheese ($18.50)
were all we needed. The dishes were presented in the simplest way
possible, but the photos do not provide any justice to the tastes
whatsoever. The food tasted delicious, simple but delicious. As
we sat at the old wooden table, sipping Earl Grey and Mocha, I
literally felt like I had been transported to an old bistro in
France. It was so relaxing.
The
European is a fantastic place to visit and to get away from the
bustling city-lifestyle, even if you only come here for their
coffees.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $45.20
