Well, we went, we enjoyed, and yesterday we went again, and again we enjoyed, and again, we intend to return!
The first time we went I had the Istanbul Street Pizza - I have incredibly fond memories of my visit to Turkey in 1999 and regularly choose items on menus that I hope will re-intensify those memories for me. It was delicious! Totally different format to what I had in Istanbul, but the flavours - oh! Fantastic!
Simon had the Moorish Eggs the first time - a speciality of the cafe - and they were decidedly delicious and I have to order them myself sometime!
Yesterday, I had another house specialty - the Piperada - eggs with capsicum, tomato, coriander and served in a terracotta dish, the name for which I cannot remember. Came with a serve of Turkish bread - and was very filling and very very delicious. Highly recommended if you're looking for a healthy, low fat, filling breakfast too.
Simon went with something a little more traditional - Eggs Benedict with Smoked salmon. Also served on Turkish bread. He liked it. He thought the hollandaise was definitely home made, perhaps lacked a little lemon, and that the salmon was good and the egg yolks a beautiful colour.
Coffees were both really good - we had our usual breakfast choice of trim lattes. And I had a lovely time with my camera photographing the convolvulus and various aspects of the beautiful, secret little courtyard. Actually, it's not that little, but it is most certainly secret and beautiful!
