Eggs as you please Jim
R36
happier, healthier, pasture reared chickens produce tastier eggs. Served on the best artisanal sour dough that Cape Town has to offer, perfectly pan toasted with real butter, because, well, simple and delicious.
The Blokes from Blighty knew how to hit the spot with this one. Quick on the go, delicious, loads of layered, free range bacon, on a soft roll to soak up all the drippings….
The classic burger for a new start to the day- 150g free range, beef patty, dripping with emmental, wild rocket, tomato, a fried egg and and a bacon and espresso chutney. Served on a brioche bun with fries on the side.
The perfect balance of our real bacon, sweet confit tomatoes, zesty and buttery hollandaise sauce on toasted sour dough. For an equally satisfying experience swap the bacon and tomatoes for smoked salmon with olive oil dressed baby spinach.
Breakfast Burrito Toastado (V+V)
R95
Comfort food, Beyond Meat™ Texan style chilli con carne, on a flour tortilla with shredded cabbage for some crunch, with sides of guacamole, smoked tomato salsa and fresh cilantro. Note Preparation time 15-20min, it took 5000 years of civilisation to get this right, what’s a moment between us
Roasted Tomato Soup & Cheese Toastie
R90
We nearly called this toasted cheese and tomato. But that would be misleading. Yes, the pairing will be a classic one day. For now you can savour the future. Two types of tomato, roasted with garlic and chilli, blended into a smooth soup, served with a crunchy toasted cheese sandwich.
Croissant with Bacon & Cheese
R100
Bacon. Cheese. Croissant. Toasted. Who knew? Well, we did. Now you do too. See?
New
Croissant with Tomato, Basil & Cheese
R65
Vegan sandwiches are so yesterday. Filled croissant toasted, with that perfect balance of acidity umami and well, yum. Say yes. Order it. No regrets
New
Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Croissant
R120
We wanted to make a smoked salmon sandwich. Capers? Sure. But still uninspiring. Then it hit us. Toasted croissant. And voila. Magic
New
Simple & honest. Crushed avocado stacked on butter toasted sourdough (or 70% rye), with goats cheese, sunflower seed paste and just the right amount of Sriatcha sauce.
French Toast with Blueberry compote
R80
The only thing French about this American classic is the croissant, bathed in egg, fried in butter and laced with a berry compote and real maple syrup. Not enough decadence?…
We didn't invent it, but we are trying to perfect it. Melt in the mouth brioche, comforting gypsy ham, luscious béchamel and cheesy, well, cheese. Oven baked as a triple decker sandwich.
The amazing amalgam of mildly spicy traditional chakalaka sauce and tomato base, with black and white beans, served with sour-dough toast, two poached eggs and topped with goats cheese.
Classic Burger & Chips
R110
Just the expected, unexpectedly moreish and juicy. FFMM but not just on a Friday. Butter toasted sesame seed bun, rocket and tomato, with coarsely ground 100% prime beef patty fried in beef tallow.
Beyond Burger & Chips
R160
The Beyond Burger is a plant-based burger that looks, cooks, and satisfies like beef. It has all the juicy, meaty deliciousness of a traditional burger, but comes with the upsides of a plant-based meal. The Beyond Burger has 20g of plant-based protein and has no GMOs, soy, or gluten.
NEW
Freshly made Tagliatelle Carbonara
110
You know when you can see the pasta is homemade? Then the flavour confirms it? Umami flavour bomb, hand crafted fresh tagliatelle, tossed in a traditional sauce of cured pork, Grana Padana, egg and a hint of cream
The Perfect Steak & Chips
R190
A 300g Grass-fed steak cooked to perfection, flamed to finish and Café de Paris butter ready to melt to perfection, gently placed on top.
PATISSERIE
Baked fresh daily at 06h00 am
Croissants aux Amandes
R45
A Sabayon cream cheese with caramel mou(soft chewy caramel)
A deliciously moist crumb, the perfect amount of spices, carefully crafted with just the right balance
Eclair means "flash of lightning" in French - so named because its eaten in a flash
Reminiscent of the 1896 Chicago classic, a light and moist centre, smothered in ganache to keep it that way.
The Medieval Swiss classic of lemon curd and baked meringue. Divine.
Caramelised apple with crispy praline and Sable Breton biscuit, smothered in a caramel glaze.
SHAKES
Expect the unexpected
What would we be without our coffee, but to make a championship picker upper, try some toasted cornflakes on that Joe for crunch (Resurrection blend espresso & toasted cornflakes)
Umami bomb, just the right balance of sweet, salt and savoury, think sea salt caramel meets milkshake delight. (Roasted banana & miso caramel)
Imperial Egalitarianism
R165
The decadence of real chocolate combined with the morishness and texture of this classic biscuit is a winner (Dark chocolate & Speculaas)
We be’in serious here. Odd? yes! Surprisingly delicious for sure. This ain’t no powder mix take on the classic (Boiron Strawberry purée and grated tonka bean)
