Time For Rösti

A cafe which hires people with special needs.

Came here for lunch and got the Bangers & Rosti with sour cream. I added the Major Set Meal ($7.50) which includes Soup of the Day, Hot Beverage/ Iced Ribena and 1 Scoop of Gelato of the Day.

Soup of the day was mushroom soup. It was flavourful and had bits of mushroom in it.

For my drink, I chose lced Vanilla Cream. Additional $0.30 for iced version. It was essentially milk with vanilla. Couldn't detect the vanilla though.

The Bangers & Rosti, I chose the chicken cheese bratwurst. The sausage was good. Firm and yummy. Rosti was great with crispy edges and tender shredded potatoes. Sour cream was surprisingly on the sweet side. The side salad was drizzled with a refreshing dressing.

Gelato of the day was After 8 (Chocolate Mint). The gelato had a nice velvety consistency.

Came here with my friend for lunch and we got the Bacon & Hash ($24), Mushroom Scramble ($17) and Sticky Date Pudding ($12).

Got the Bacon & Hash- housemade rosti, poached eggs, thick-cut bacon, wilted spinach and mushroom cream.

I love how the rosti was super crispy.
Poached egg were very plain and the sauce didn't really help.
Thick-cut bacon was less saltier then the bacon you usually get from the supermarket. However I didn't really like it as it did had a weird chemical(?) taste and was quite tough to chew.
Wilted spinach at the bottom added a good nutritional value to the dish.
Mushroom cream was quite bland and thick.

Mushroom Scramble- housemade sourdough, scrambled eggs, cauliflower, feta, crispy kale

Sourdough was nicely toasted with crispy edges.
Scrambled eggs were silky.
Cauliflower could be tastier.
Feta was ok.
Crispy kale added more texture to the dish.
Mushroom were good and earthy.

Sticky Date Pudding- banana, salted caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream

Sticky date pudding was disappointing. Pudding was like a cake. Overcooked.
Banana were evenly sliced.
Salted caramel sauce was really good. But tasted more like toffee.
Ice-cream was nice.

Overall enjoyed the mushroom Scramble and the potato Rosti. Maybe the next time round I would just get a plain rosti.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday with my church friend.

We both ordered the ALL TIME CLASSIC Potato Rosti
(with pork chipolata sausage, sunny eggs, confit cherry on vine and crème frâiche).

Rosti was crisp on the outside and was soft on the inside. The rosti was lightly seasoned.
Sausage were ok. Salty and soft.
Scrambled eggs were not bad. The menu stated sunny egg but we were served scrambled egg.
Cherry tomatoes were yummy and burst in your mouth.
Creme frâiche helped with the potato Rosti.

Overall not bad.

Dine here with my friend on a Sunday afternoon and ordered the rosti. Staff said it would be a 20 minutes wait and I was okay with it.

The rosti was a good size served with a sunny side up egg, sour cream and a choice of cheesy sausage ($17), smoked bratwrust ($19), smoked salmon ($22) or corned beef ($19). So your rosti paid is according to the sides that you choose. There's also an option to add on rosti at +$9. The rosti was good. Shredded pieces of potato, lumped together and fried till the sides were super crispy but yet not burnt. So you have this super crispy outer crust while the middle is soft. The smoked bratwrust was good as well. It had a good bite and was firm. Taste-wise it was smoky and salty which complemented well with the unseasoned rosti.

Overall if you love your potatoes real crispy, this is your go-to place but fyi we waited 1hr 20mins before we got a table.

Create Your Own Swiss Meal ($14.90 for 1 main + 2 sides + 1 sauce).

I chose chicken cheese bratwurst, rosti (+$1), roasted potatoes and sour cream. My friend had smoked pork ceverlat (+$1), swiss egg pasta and baby spinach (+$1).

Chicken cheese bratwurst was good. Firm, well seasoned with bits of flowly cheese. Rosti was fabulous. Perfectly cooked, crispy edges and well seasoned. Roasted potatoes on the other hand could use more seasoning.
Smoked pork ceverlat was firm but would have been tastier if it was more seasoned. Swiss egg pasta was not to my liking. Tasted kinda like chicken powder egg noodle? And also it kinda lacked seasoning. Baby spinach was good. Came with cherry tomatoes and coated with a vinaigrette dressing.

Also we had the Iced Elderflower Tea ($1.50 U.P. $3). Really nice, my first time trying elderflower. Their tea had just the right amount of sweetness and some slightly peachy floral-y flavour.

Overall I would definitely come back here if I have cravings for rosti. Plus with the burpple 1-for-1 this meal cost only $20.90 for the two of us.

I LOVE rosti so I brought my friends to marche! (Also there's a 20% off and a 1-for-1 rosti promo at a certain timing ongoing right now)

Swiss Rosti with Gravlax Salmon.($8.90 + $10.90) The rosti was perfectly cooked. Golden brown and crispy on the outside. The unseasoned rosti paired well with the salty cured salmon. The salmon might be the priciest add-on but I have no regrets.

The DIY rösti offered here let's you customise. (Base + 1 Protein + 2 Toppings + 1 Sauce)

For the base there's Original ($18) and Cheesy ($20). I chose the Original topped with Crispy Fried Streaky Bacon, Poached Egg, Sautéed Baby Spinach and Mustard Hollandaise.

The rösti was good. Crispy edges, firm well cooked shredded pieces of potato and well seasoned. Bacon wasn't crispy which made me a little disappointed. Poached Egg was perfectly cooked with the yolk oozing out when cut and the egg had a slight sweet taste. Baby Spinach was sautéed with onions. Did not quite like it as it reminded me of the Chinese minced garlic stired fried vegetables. Mustard Hollandaise also did not suit me. Maybe I'll get the Classic Hollandaise the next time.

Overall the base of the rösti was good. Taste and look-wise.
