Sir Charles

After looking at the photo that has been posted by many people on Instagram, I really wanted to visit Sir Charles. I have never thought that there would be another fancy brunch spot at Fitzroy.

Ice Chocolate -$6

The main reason of me coming to Sir Charles is because I have been craving for their Sir Charles Benedict! The Sir Charlse Benedict served with 2 panko golden crumbed eggs that are likely drizzled with Sriracha hollandaise and sprinkled with chilli, spring onion, corriander and black sesame seeds too. Not to forget, it also served with bacon and roti. This food combination is a perfect combination with the perfectly cooked eggs, rich hollandaise, caramilized bacon and roti. The best thing is that the food is not oily too!

Sir Charles also served good iced chocolate. That's not too sweet and yet I could still able to taste their chocolate.

I have to say that breakfast at Sir Charles gave our usual expectations of Melbourne brunching a best shake up!

The hardware société

Sunday in the city are almost peaceful and with many cafes solely open during weekdays, we ended up at Hardware Société . We were sixth on the waiting list and decided to walked around the lane. In a matter of 15 minutes, we were soon seated at the middle of the communal table. I'll make this short and sweet - the staff was friendly, our coffee was good and so was the food. I really enjoyed my cappucino, full of flavour and robust.

I could make a guess, after our visit and assume that my dish is one of the most favourite dish on the menu. The intense mushroom mixture and sauté veggie enhanced the hearty, porky flavour on the dish, leaving no need to order any fried egg.

My friend order this chicken cordon bleu which looked appetising when it was brought out. I'm guessing it was pretty good as he demolished the whole plate.

One of the best brunches we've had this year. Good food, excellent coffee and service.

Hardware Société  keeps giving me reasons to come back again and again.
