Smokehouse Deli - a great way to start the weekend!

With two small children, breakfast is by far the easiest meal for us to eat out. By the time any restaurant opens, we have already been up for hours and usually managed to have enough playing time for the boys to sit happily for an hour or two.

Smokehouse Deli came highly recommended and did not disappoint! We have been to both branches in Benguluru for breakfast. The menus were very similar, if not identical, but both breakfasts were very tasty!


We ordered tomato, garlic, caper and olive fried skillet eggs, which were so fantastic that we ordered them at both visits! The eggs were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour.





Next up was sausage and bacon scrambled eggs. The eggs were slightly more cooked than we would have liked and needed rather more sausage and bacon. 





The poached eggs benedict were delicious, although not served with a traditional english muffin or with bacon! 







The pancakes were sweet and fluffy, with lots of maple syrup, a huge hit with the boys, both little and big!

The highlight of the meal, without doubt, were the sides! Delicious crispy hash browns (order at least a couple of portions),  spicy baked beans and generous portion of streaky bacon!


The coffee was fantastic, both regular and decaffeinated, and the smoothies were a slightly healthier component to our meal. 

The desserts at the counter looked delicious and we will definitely be trying them on our next visit.

Patisserie Taste Test - Paul and Dalloyau

Croissants and Pain au chocolate, the staple of all good patisseries. With two brand new places opened in Baku recently, we decided to give them a taste test to see which was better. Results after the break...

La Pain Quotiden - New York

We have long been a fan of PQ in Belgium, where you sit at a communal table and share around the variety of Jam and chocolate spreads for your freshly cooked bread in the morning. So when were were hungry after spending some time at the New York Library, we popped in to grab a bite to eat.

West End Cafe - Nashville

WELL DONE MURRAY! We had to get our priorities right this morning. Tennis, then eating. We watched Murray drop-shot his way to victory - however it was now verging on 1pm and we hadn't eaten anything but a granola bar so it had to be somewhere quick and local. The restaurant in our hotel stopped serving breakfast at 9 (disappointing) but we found somewhere just down the road that served breakfast until 3pm.

Secret coffee and Bun Cha

After a very leisurely start to the day, we decided that we needed to get up and go in search of coffee and lunch. We decided to look for a secret cafe, through a silk shop and up many flights of winding stairs. We found it easily and were delighted with both the view of the lake and the amazing coffee. I really like Vietnamese coffee and this sweet hot black coffee was delicious! Anthony was more adventurous and went for the egg milk coffee, a sweet frothy coffee with a rather custardy flavour.

Araz Cafe - Fountain Square

After going to Araz for FAB (Friday Afternoon Beverage) the week before we decided on a hump day to visit again and try the food that others had been talking about.
