STEAM JUNKIES
1/7-9 Florence Street, Brunswick VIC
2014 Summers mornings are starting to warm up quickly so I reckon you should go to this place if you want to feel full but not bogged down with stodgy food. Yay…this is my final GLUTEN FREE post for 2015.
Kudos to Ross & Sarah for suggesting this place near Anstey train station which I tend to quickly glance at when going by. It’s got a simple garage/car port feel and has a lovely breeze coming through every now and then.
I got the Beetroot fritters ($15.50) with 2 poached eggs and soft goats cheese which I thought it was a deformed small poached egg that had tumbled down the mound of salad greens, apple, cucumber, radish, almonds and dill. I took a bite expecting gooey egg but instead was bombarded with a tangy creamy smooch to the teeth!
The beetroot patty was soft like mash potato but in a distinct roasted beetroot with a hint of zucchini lurking in the background. The beautiful poached eggs with their golden oozing onto the purpleness made it a hypnotic and vibrant that it made my eyes ache in the kindest way. They have a Gluten Free selection on the menu which needs further exploration.
CHOMP and SLURP
