Yet another amazing find in New Cross! If you love brunch and haven't explored New Cross yet, I highly recommend it - so many amazing spots to discover and Birdie Num Nums is a great fantastic edition to the brunchin'/lunchin' scene!
Birdie Num Nums is a wonderful little cafe, I loved the decor - very shabby chic - and the over all vibe and atmosphere.
Sadly, the staff were having a nightmare of a day - their payment machine was down and a few things had gone wrong for them meaning they were seriously pushed back and running behind. The owner however was so apologetic and clearly in distress, I really felt for him and am not allowing this to affect my overall experience.
Alex ordered the Birdie Breakfast and I, the poached egg, lime and avocado salad served with toast and hollandaise sauce! The food took longer than it should but as I explained, I understood why. Once arrived it was most definitely worth the wait...
Both dishes were fantastic - Alex said his Birdie breakfast was "the best breakfast I've had in london"! And for me every mouthful was a true taste sensation.
The avocado salsa was fresh and tangy and when put against the crunch of the toast, harshness of the hollandaise and the softness of the yolk, everything complemented itself perfectly. It was a dream.
In total the two meals, a coffee and a can of orange cost just under £20 - I would have paid more for the quality and felt this very reasonable! We'll definitely be back! read more
