French Twist brekky, Brisbane - 1st visit
So many options, so hard to chose. We went for eggs, bacon and other things, but this is for 2nd visit :)
Oh wow, this place is decadent, creative, diverse and tucked away in Bulimba. If you're on the main drag, you'd never find it and we've been here over a year and just now discovered it! The menu looked so good I was trying to convince my family what to order so I could try it all, but they chose different things. Sigh. My choice was on the right... sourdough bread (which I passed on to my 5 yr old), roasted sweet potatoes and cauliflower (but came fried?), chickpea hummus, fermented cabbage, rocket salad, amazing guacamole and I ordered a poached egg on the side. I did not go hungry and it was all gone! I can say, everyone in our family was pleased! But check out Ty's order at the bottom. What in the world?!?! This place has gone crackers!
My husband's plate. He gets lots of sauce when he doesn't want to share it. #LactoseIntoleranceIssues It looked amazing though and his plate was clean.
He is soooo excited about his plate. I was too actually. Might have charged a "food tax" for cutting it up for him. Yes, I did do that.
Loved the decor here! So unique and warm and friendly. They also offer free art classes on Sat starting at 8:30am. I need to go back and try this so I can have an excuse for another breakfast.
Seriously y'all!??!?! I ordered the plate on the left. The pretty brioche french toast with strawberries, bananas, blueberries, warm maple syrup and a dollop (ok way ore than that) of vanilla ice cream on top. THIS seemed indulgent to me and I was giving my 9 yr old a splurge since he's so sensitive to sugar. For whatever reason, my 5 yr old isn't affected as much.
BUT, what they gave us, is on the right. You might be asking, "what the hell is that?" And if you did, you asked the same thing I did. I paid $18 on that thing??? It is 2 layers french toast (it's so buried you can't even see it), fruit pictures, whipped cream, ice cream, caramel corn, fairy floss (picture cotton candy), 4 chocolate straws, and maple syrup. I think I gaged when she put the plate down and I was so taken back, I was speechless. My 9 yr old was speechless too, but for other reasons. His eyes were huge and he dug right in. He kept offering us all a taste and we all said "no thanks mate!" haha Smart move on his part. Matthew kept yelling "gross dude, there's green hair on your food." I'll leave it at that!
