Blackwattle Cafe (Glebe) 14th May, 2011

I was driving over the Anzac Bridge when I spotted this place and thought wow - what a place for Brunch - and to my delight after driving around for a while at the end of Glebe Pt Road I found it. 

The original Blackwattle Cafe where I spent a number of Saturday mornings when I was a uni student was in an artists wharehouse that is now a modern block of apartments. So to find this spot was exciting. And whilst it is the name only that is the new Blackwattle Cafe it is a treat. 

The house has a wonderful outlook across the harbour to the Anzac Bridge - dog friendly, child friendly and a great menu for Breakfast and Lunch.  It is extremely popular is if you are planning brekkie - arrive early - we had a wait but it wasn't long and the view is beautiful.

The Rocks Cafe (cnr Kent St, Argyle Pl, The Rocks) 7th May, 2011

The Brunch Club kindly agreed to work around Brad this week who, due to commitments as a volunteer at the Sydney Writers' Festival, had to brunch early and somewhere near Walsh Bay, we found ourselves at the originally named, 'The Rocks' cafe.

Clearly a 'local place for local people' we had varying service depending on the 'chat' level. The food was ok and as expected, given its unpretentious and simple decor, ambience. The setting was great though and we had lots of fun with the passing locals and with each other. Highlight was Brad's initiative in acquiring a menu.
