Two Good Eggs *UPDATED*
Image: Since my last visit, new owners Andrew Menczel and Laci Csobonyei have taken the stark out of this Philippe Starck space. With Laci’s own artworks now adorning the walls, and a mural of Budapest backing the kitchen, the overall effect is quite homely.
Since my last visit, new owners Andrew Menczel and Laci Csobonyei have taken the stark out of this Philippe Starck space. With Laci’s own artworks now adorning the walls, and a mural of Budapest backing the kitchen, the overall effect is quite homely. Despite being an architectural purist, I will admit to preferring the newly painted floor and shiny light fittings. Midweek, diners hail from nearby offices, arriving for daily sandwich specials and a mug of Toby’s Estate. On weekends, you’ll find a laidback collection of Surry Hills locals devouring all-day breakfasts. A slightly burnt Flat White ($3.50) picked things up with a bonus wafer. My sniffily nose appreciated the gentle Peppermint and Organic Refresh Tea ($4/pot); whilst my dining companion’s hangover responded to Tomato Juice ($5). Besides the usual café favourites, taken up a notch by using premium ingredients, the menu reads like it was compiled on a Eurail Pass. All aboard for a spectacular ‘Goats on Toast’ ($12) featuring a warm wheel of Trinity Cellars goat’s cheese, Brasserie Bread’s ripper sour cherry loaf, smashed walnuts and drizzled honey. Next stop – Spanish Baked Eggs with Chorizo, Olives and Manchego ($16.90) – a well-presented plate, let down only by fully set yolks.
