Sourdough toasts with cyprus haloumi, guacamole, dukkah, Greek yogurt and perfectly poached eggs 🍳
The chilli elements likely suffered burnout from their high-power, glamorously busy CBD existences, while elsewhere the sea bass ate clean and the wakame wood-ear salad was a sesame-kissed, crunchy, seasoned delight. 3.5/5
Ordered the truffle avocado and truffle fries! Hmm a little disappointing 🤔
$18 + $2.50 (half an avocado) // the croissants were sliced and toasted, thus made easy to eat. If you love really soft scramble egg, you would definitely like this!
Nestled within Phoenix Park, Boufé Boutique Cafe is both quiet and charming, making it the perfect brunch spot for you and your date to get away from the city. The light-filled space combines a cafe and boutique under one roof, so you can fill your tummies before wandering around the selection of curated accessories and knick knacks. If weather permits, sit outdoors and sip on their homemade Ice Lychee Tea ($5.50) while taking in the lush surroundings. The Brioche French Toast ($19), homemade brioche topped with fresh berries, caramelised banana, almond crumble, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with light-as-air whipped cream, is very popular among the ladies. To feed ravenous male appetites, order the popular Triple B ($21), Boufé’s big breakfast that comes with a freshly baked miniature croissant, scrambled eggs, sausages, sautéed mushrooms, honey-glazed bacon and a generous amount of fresh greens. End your brunch date on a sweet note with Boufé's famed Strawberry Shortcake ($8), or the Citron Tart ($5.50) if you prefer something zestier. Wash it all down with a cup of aromatic Flat White ($5).
Ambience: Classy and modern
Price: Avg $60 per couple
🌶🦀🍝 MANTOU SLIDERS! & a fancy schmancy Ondeh Ondeh French Toast that was a good balance of flavours (not overly sweet / also you can't go wrong with brioche EVER mmm) (📷: @beaverwoo)
A long time favourite on Artichoke's weekend brunch menu, the Lamb Shakshouka ($26) is the perfect union of tender lamb shoulder and spot-on runny eggs. Served in a skillet, this Middle Eastern inspired dish is enlivened by a well-balanced spiced tomato sauce and a stunning green chilli harissa. Tear off pieces of the accompanying pita bread and use that to mop up that delicious mess. Don't worry — the guys at Artichoke are too laidback to judge. Pro tip: The dish is super filling, so you might also want to order a lighter main (try the Haloumi & Mushrooms, $22) and share both with a friend.

I will gladly choose scramble eggs as my preferred egg style.

Especially when it taste super creamy on crispy buttery crossiant toast.
4 munchies: Roasted locally by 2° North Coffee Co., the special, medium body Caldera blend was slightly nutty with hints of red fruit and chocolate. Loved how my flat white was bright yet balanced with a boldness that was uplifting!
Your experience at this light-filled, friendly spot is made even more egg-cellent with their Oven Baked Molten Eggs on Tortilla and Melted Cheese ($12.90). Cheese is melted atop two ready-to-burst slow cooked eggs promising a river of liquid gold. Beautifully sliced avocados, bright spinach, cherry tomatoes and a tortilla make wonderful accompaniments. If you need more, add Smoked Salmon ($3) or Bacon ($3, only available on weekends), and finish off with a lovely coffee.
