We were treated kindly and given iced water (it was a very hot day so appreciated this). The owner is so lovely, he had a chat with us while we waited for our food which was really nice. We ordered the Jaffa Hotcakes, the Eggs Benny and the Smashed avo and all these dishes were delightfully delicious! The hotcakes were a standout as you can see below, and we loved our latte served in a skull glass plus juice in a lightbulb! Such a trendy cafe!
Quite average brunch in my opinion. Had the Warm Calamari and Chorizo Salad, as well as Ginger Ninja juice – refreshing for sunny days. My sister had the Shakshouka. We prefer the salad over the baked eggs.
Not a bad spot, but was let down by non-existent service. My friend and I nabbed a spot out the front, but no-one came to see us. It took 10 minutes before we went in, and I was assured it was table service and that someone would be out shortly. My shakshuka was excellent and extremely fresh, but my vegan friend was dismayed to find her toast was already buttered. We were there for almost an hour by the time we finished eating, which was fine as we were having a great catch up but not great in terms of efficiency. Would head back to try again.
Great brunch spot. Excellent service by friendly staff. Relaxed setting for an enjoyable meal and coffee. Although a mid end Cafe I honestly can’t fault it. Great meals, fair prices, delicous smoothies. Much better than the ‘trendy be seen’ places around. I’m full now, not sure I need to eat for the rest of the day 5 stars
A very easy 5 star rating. Continue reading to find out why.
1. Service- amazing staff and perfect level of interaction- wasn’t too much, wasn’t too little.
2. Ambiance- pretty cafe with a fresh vibe. Perfect for a date and a gathering alike.
3. Here is what we ordered
– Flat white- extremely well made and very creatively served. Have a look at the photos below to see the cups.
Red energy juice- a bit too carrot-y but not too bad otherwise. Again, served well.
Curried eggs- the best kinda eggs I have had. This dish was oozing flavour! It smelt great, looked great and tasted great!
Shakshouka- this dish is my go to for brunch and I particularly loved the one at Picnic. Again, a really well presented and made dish that deserves your love.
Belgium Waffles- Really tasty and pretty. The element of Apple crumble went well with the waffles. Would recommend!
Overall, an extraordinary cafe that guarantees pretty and tasty food.
score: 4.5/5
Picnic is lovely cafe located on Toorak Road serving various interesting dishes from traditional brekkie to fusion modernised style brunch. We were lucky enough to have been invited to try their food.
We had slow cooked pork benny, Shakshuka and tex mex breakfast. The pork benny was delicious, the poached eggs were perfectly cooked. The shakshuka, which is another name for baked eggs. It came with chorizo and amazing bread on the side. The chilli bean on the mexican breakfast was also very tasty. Would recommend to give this place a try.
What a lovely brunch experience. The food was delicious (I highly recommend the shashuka) with good coffee (in cool skull mugs!) and staff were extremely friendly. We will be back!
