The menu offers a good range and all the food is very nicely presented. Portions are good sizes without being huge and the quality is good. My companions and I ordered the Eggs Benedict, Creamy Mushrooms, Winter Vege Medley and a Big Breakfast. It all came at the same time, which was great. My Winter Vege Medley was a bit too much about potatoes, yams and pumpkin and very little about greens, which was disappointing - but I added Feta and Pine Nuts which were great. All other dishes looked good and my companions were happy. Coffee is very good here. I can't comment on the price as others paid. I would come back here.

To add further insult, the tea was brought in a proper cup, so why do I get a disgusting throw away cup? Additionally, we were given plastic cutlery! We asked if we could have some real cutlery but none was available. I had to eat my breakfast with my hands as flimsy plastic knives can't cut a toasted piece of ciabatta bread at all. Hands in an airport... Yuk. Not to mention the irony that you no longer serve plastic straws but still throw away hundreds of knives and forks daily. What a truly poor experience. Worst 50 bucks I'll spend all month.

Yet another brunch/late night option in Merivale. While it's best to make a booking, there are…read moreplenty of tables inside and out that walk-ins in small numbers (2) should be fine. We made a booking and were seated immediately at a cute little table overlooking the patio seating. The cafe is cute and no frills, but offers a full lunch menu (after 3pm, and looked amazing) and serves breakfast until 3 pm. Our coffee orders were taken immediately and water was brought to the table. We waited for over 10 minutes for our coffee to be served (one barista making coffee for the entire restaurant = sleeping zombies grumbling at tables) and for our food order to be taken. Finally someone came to our table and we ordered pancakes (with bacon, cream and strawberries) and the Big Breakfast (tomato, mushroom, bacon, sausage, poached eggs, toast, hashbrown). The food was served much quicker. The Pancakes: large and fluffy (looked whole wheat maybe?) slightly overcooked for my taste. Not enough syrup (and I don't even care much for syrup) but the bottom pancake was soggy with a concoction of strawberry juice and syrup. The bacon was cooked perfectly and the cream pairs well with the pancakes if you're not a big syrup person. Very filling meal. The Big Breakfast: The sausages were spicy for my palate, but someone with a (American) southwestern flare will love them. The bacon was cooked perfectly and the eggs were poached to perfection. I didn't try the toast, hashbrown (golden brown and crispy), tomato or mushroom as it wasn't my breakfast, but my husband cleared the plate. Overall, the food is slightly above average but no stand-out to the rest of the options around Papanui Road. The service could have been slightly more efficient, but with only one barista and a small service area, that would be hard to change. I won't rush back here for breakfast, but it definitely is a decent option if you want a quick and filling breakfast. I'll update again once I try out their lunch.

If its sunny and no wind then the outside courtyard is lovely, but if the wind comes up there is plenty of room inside and in the sheltered marquees. They have a good music selection playing, and not to obtrusively either. Service is good and attentive but not exceptional. I come here for brunch occasionally and cannot go past the mushrooms on toast. This meal is divine, huge mushrooms on pesto focaccia with truffle oil, a poached egg, and hollandaise. It basically combines everything I love breakfast wise into one delightfully delicious dish. My sister says the pancakes are equally amazing. I've had the salmon omelette and the eggs bene on previous occasions which have been good, not a step wrong. Brigittes is a popular place, and if you know you want to eat here it is well worth ringing for a reservation. I will be back to Brigittes, nothing will keep me away from the mushrooms on toast!
