Service was average at best. Breakfast was finished before coffee came out. Orders were wrong and waitress rolled her eyes when we requested what we originally ordered. Very disappointing .
Food here is very mediocre. The Egg Benedict was over cooked. The wilted spinach not seasoned. The hollandaise too acidic and not creamy nor rich. And despite the menu stating the hollandaise being infused with truffle oil and paprika, the truffle flavor was absent and there’s no paprika in sight. Overall a very disappointing experience.
While the area has a few nice selections for dinner, Southbank is certainly not the place I would venture for brunch/lunch as it features a large number of commercialised restaurants and mediocre food.However, for close place near the cinemas, Merriweather cafe was our pick.Food: Menu was simple and straightforward, with a main focus on eggs. We ordered 2 open omelettes – 1 mushroom and 1 ham and my other friend ordered poached eggs and sourdough + smoked salmon. Food was definitely satisfying for empty stomachs, with the eggs very well cooked – the omelettes light and fluffy, and the poached eggs cooked for the right amount of time as it had a good run. The toasts had a nice crisp and were not overly crunchy/hard. If anything, the food was good but perhaps a bit too ordinary. I also later ordered a green juice and it was exceptionally refreshing on a humid day (3.5/5)Service: Good service, the food did not take long to arrive (10-15 mins) and a waiter who was on her break even went out of her way to hand us our menus before returning to her break. Environment was warm and welcoming, definitely kid friendly with many hip, old-school board games. (4/5)For Southbank, Merriweather is not a bad option.
Disappointed. The order was not difficult by any stretch of the imagination. I ordered toast. I saw the chef butter the bread and it did not look toasted to me. I confirmed with the waitress that it is toastd and she checked with the chef and he said yes but completely disinterested. What I received was bread that had been warmed. That’s not toast.Friendliness of the one staff member that served me was good; friendly. Coffee is ok. I live in the area and won’t be going back.
Came here for brunch. Venue is cute but that’s where it ends. Scrambled eggs looked and tasted microwaved (taste is a stretch; there wasn’t much of that), toast burnt and rock hard (but still served – had to ask for butter), 3 requests for more water. Wait staff are friendly and nice, but that’s the only compliment I could offer them : / $20 for paleo brekkies which is what others in my group had and that was equally disappointing.
I had a pleasant but not spectacular breakfast here. The coffee was reasonably full flavoured which I like. The service was pleasant. The food. Fine. I had the open omelette . Which is what would put on a menu if I struggled to do a proper closed omelette. It was tasty enough but Im sure I can find better in the area so will keep looking!
Brief menu but well chosen alternatives with a focus on eggs and breakfast/brunch and sustainable ingredients. The mushrooms on rye and avocado on sourdough were both very good with nice accompaniments (hummus and vegetable choices). Coffee also superior with rich flavour, citrus notes and very smooth finish. Range of cakes and sandwiches also available. Pleasant outlook over Musgrave Park. Attentive service.
