Family Friendly

Trendy homemade bun, gratuitous (perfectly crispy) bacon, patty cooked to order... these are all clear signs you're probably going to enjoy a burger...

Note I don't list the egg as gratuitous... that's a burger necessity in my book!

Another beautiful dish at Botanist! Ice cream tasted homemade and awesome but the French Toast was just a teeny bit too sweet for me...

We ordered scrambled eggs on the side and they were epic... my 2 year old ate 2 eggs by himself!

You need somewhere awesome to take them for breakfast...

You're afraid that Spago will be too much too soon and yet...

Toast Box seems a little too casual...

Enter: Botanist

Classy yet casual with great renditions of brunch classics including the prettiest Croque Madame I ever did see...

Perfect to say, I'd like to see you again without looking like you're trying you hard...

Fast forward a few years, they also have high chairs...

You're welcome :)

Boy did this humble diner classic get a classy (and healthy) makeover at Botanist!

Forget about your nitrate risks and let this tasty dish take your mouth on a ride to flavor town!

Arrive by 9am, and you are unlikely to have to wait for a table!

It's like we left Singapore and found ourselves at some bohemian paradise...

... Live music, picnic tables, smiling families, friendly staff and lots and lots of ice cold beers... including non alcoholic ginger beer for preggies and curious kids...

This Sunday roast platter of lamb was tasty (lots of fat so you have to be into that), with free sides and even a free kids meal of delicious mac and cheese!

Wow, we had an amazing brunch at Bread Street Kitchen and these fluffy blueberry pancakes with soft serve were one of the highlights along with the incredibly hospitable staff and the kid friendly welcome pack, which when included a paper sailor hat, a coloring book and some colored pencils! The pancakes were moist and fluffy with juicy blueberries!

Exceptional migas! Not traditional, but a fancier, tastier version with chorizo, potato foam, eggs and crunchy bits. Mix it up and presto: instant magic!

Creamy cheese sandwiches with buttery crackers and lots of flavor, fun for the whole family!

BlueSkiesCottonClouds told me these croquetas taste like excellent cream of mushroom soup packaged and deep fried and she was absolutely right! These are winners!

Pim Pam has an amazing weekend brunch for families with excellent service, beautiful decor and delicious food... This dish was no exception with fresh baked focaccia, sardines, onions and spicy aioli

It's true! With the $48 five course brunch, kids get a free meal! And it's not some average kids meal, this is real baked mac and cheese that even Paula Deen would endorse with real cheese and al dente elbow macaroni! Let's be real though, my toddler ate most of my cheese souffle so I wound up eating quite a bit of this delicious mac and cheese... Win win!

Although swiftly melting on my plate, this Apple Tarte Tartin remains as pretty as it tasted! Beautiful colors, textures, flavors from quality ingredients! Brunch 5 course lunch at $48 even comes with free quality kids meals!
