The clever name says it all. This little cafe has travelled around the world and stolen ideas and recipes to bring back to Balwyn and share with their diners. The egg hoppers are known through the Sri Lankan community and i have been told by those from there that they have revitalised the dish. but there are plenty more items on the menu to cater for all dietaries and tastes. From the classic yet not so classic eggs benedict to an extremely juicy burger. Definitely worth ducking in here for a quick meal with friendly service and fantastic coffees.
My friend took me to her local cafe which I didnt even know existed. I’ve passed through Doncaster Road, Balwyn North so many times, but never stopped to really pay attention to the eateries in this area! What a lovely hidden gem!!
LOCATION
Travelling Bandit cafe is located along the row of shops in the Greythorn Shopping area on Doncaster Road very close to Aldi. Parking is abundent along the the street or there is a parking spot behind the cafe which I think is also used for customers go shop at Aldi.
When you walk into the cafe, there are only small number of tables and is very warm and welcome feeling. There is a courtyard at the back of the cafe which opens up to a large space which is wonderful place to sit when weather is warmer.
We ended up sitting in the courtyard and the waitress turned on the large portable heaters which was nice.
MENU
There is a nice variety of food on the menu, including a special’s menu.
Chorizo Bunelos, $18.00
(Corn and halloumi fritters with grilled chorizo, cauliflower puree, broccolini, romesco sauce, poached egg)
Eggs San Pedro, $17.00
(Two poached eggs with bacon, avocado, hash brown and hollandaise on a toasted muffin)
PRICE
The price is reasonable and on par with standard cafes, so we were quite pleased given the food portions was way more than enough.
VERDICT
The food is absolutely delicious! Travelling Bandit is a wonderful hidden local gem.The Eggs San Pedro was perfect. The presentation is outstanding.I would definitely be coming back.
