Late Saturday morning saw us
having Brunch at a fairly new venue in Sea Point,
The Industry café, which is
right opposite the Adelphi Centre and Pick n Pay on Main Road
This was tempting.... And the
croissants we saw were huge and looked exactly as they should
Not some of
those pale unlayered puffballs which often pass for crisp buttery croissants
The Breakfast menu. They seem
to run all morning and up till 1 for breakfast
and then there are the lunch
items
Inside it is spacious. BUT
every chair is a high chair, including, for some strange reason, the
banquettes
Lynne has a problem climbing up onto high chairs but managed, just,
on one of the window seats
They have an open kitchen and
a bar
The breakfast menu. We had a Hyperli
voucher for 2 breakfasts at R69 each. It does not included beverages
The lunch menu
Beverages menu
and prices of cocktails and
spirits. Rather high, but we don’t often indulge
John spotted these burgers on
a far table and said that they look generous
Lynne had the Eggs Benedict
on brown toast. Good eggs, not bad Hollandaise; we suspect that it was made in a blender
rather than over a pan. There was just a paper thin slice of smoked salmon
beneath the egg. And, strangely, they do not butter the toast. Sadly, some
shredded, tired lettuce and shaved onion do not a salad make. She had a mango
juice
John had the fully loaded
Breakfast with scrambled egg and a second sausage was substituted for the
mushrooms. The bacon was not smoked or salty. The two slices of toast do not
come with butter or jam
Our bill for the beverages -
we did add a tip to the full value of these and the voucher. However, do note
that the kitchen and service are extremely relaxed. We waited nearly an hour
for our breakfast. Perhaps they need a good short order cook? So Brunch turned
into lunch
Sloppy looking food
