After a break for Easter, where one brunch clubber went home to Coonamble and the other two cavorted at the Randwick races, the Brunch Club resumed this wet end of April Saturday.
This morning we were at 2042 Cafe Deli recovering from the royal wedding (especially one of us and especially not another one of us).
Verdict? Trying to be uber-cool and it pretty much succeeds. Could be cavernous but it doesn't feel like that. Decently sized. Nice art on the walls. Slightly pretentious menu. What is Eggs Benedict if it doesn't have bacon, ham, hollandaise sauce and eggs? However, Eggs benedict and scrambled eggs with chorizo were cooked perfectly. High praise for the chef. Staff were all friendly with senses of humour, however the service has no loyalty to the wait staff meaning you don't just have the standard one waiter discouraging tips.
The deli is full of scrumptious things that you would want to buy; jams, vinegars, interesting looking lentils that we don't know how to cook, as well as pastas and cheese.SAL SAYS; " Four golden eggs. Food was perfect in comfortable surrounds. Only criticism is the coffee, they haven't concentrated on having great coffee which is needed to make a special cafe. Nevertheless, high praise."
BRAD SAYS;"I'm giving it four eggs as well. Very comfortable. Slightly reminiscent of happy days at Richmond Hill Larder in Melbourne."
ANDREW SAYS; "Sorry to be a great big sheep, but I also give it four eggs. I agree with my esteemed brunchers but also praise the low genteel lighting which gives a perfect feel for my somewhat weary feeling this Saturday morning."
Til next week.
p.s quiz was an impressive 14/15. We answered 'Jonothan Davies not Alan Davies for the British actor and changed our intial answer of Khartoum for the capital of Africa's largest country. Sal was very impresssive though.'
