Le Petit Creme (Darlinghurst) 20 Oct 2012

Tres Bien! Keen to return to a Brunch Club favourite, who can go past the bowls of latte and the magnifique cuisine?! Unusually, we all opted for the same dish, the daily special - Eggs Benedict. Nothing special but very solid and reliable. Indeed, that sums up this local cafe.

Buzzing from the previous night's Noel Cowardesque wit at Belvoir's Private Lives, Brunch Club had much to discuss including the impending joint birthday celebrations.

The highlight of the quiz was question 15 whose answer seemed all to apposite, given the locale. 'What does STD stand for?'...


ANDY: 4 golden Eggs. I really liked the coffee bowls.
BRAD: 3 Golden Eggs. I too love the coffee but food is nothing special. Oh, and I had trouble parking. Must get that Vespa...
SAL:  An old favourite of mine, a great choice.3.5 golden eggs for consistency.

Not Bread Alone, (Crows Nest) 6 Oct 2012

Despite being shunned by one of our members who was 'burnt out' after a hard week (diddums!) and who was seeking refuge in a book (Wuthering Heights), Sal and Brad ventured over the bridge and back to Crows Nest to an old favourite - Not Bread Alone.

Reliable food and good service still pervade this local treat and a solid Brunch experience was had by all.

We shared our experience with the usual lower north shore crowd of dinks and young professionals, and Brad even had an unexpected re-union. Hard not to get a little nostalgic when back in Crowie.

Quiz was average, partly due to a worthy lack of knowledge about popular culture and inconsequential song lyrics but 16 wasn't too bad.

SAL: Love this place. Great food, especially the smoked trout. 4 Golden Eggs

BRAD: Glad to see this place is still good. 4 Golden Eggs.
