On our recent day trip to the Barossa, we consulted Yelp for a suitable brunch location in Tanunda and Nosh came up a winner.
Easily findable in the main street with a park scored right out the front, we entered the former rolling mill building and exclaimed over the cute and cosy rooms before coming through into the gorgeously rustic main café area, which feels like a Pinterest board come to life. Everywhere you look is a quirky, reclaimed piece of décor - from the fixed gear bikes hanging from the high ceilings, the stepped shelves made from stacks of books, the china plates stuck to a piece of old door as wall art, the old step ladder converted into a shelving unit and more. Everything from the tables, chairs to the crockery and cutlery is gloriously mismatched in a range of kitsch delights including vintage floral china, bone-handled knives and cute cups.
We each ordered a breakfast containing wholemeal toast, scrambled eggs, bacon and rocket with tomato chutney - mine without mushrooms. The eggs were fluffy, the local bacon was deliciously tasty as only country-killed meat can be and the chutney was divine. Seriously, if there were jars available for sale at the counter, I'd have bought one. Perhaps a sideline marketing venture for the owners if they read this?
This appears to be a popular place and for good reason. Clearly a lot of care has gone into making this a top notch eatery with the quality of ingredients and care taken in presentation. We peeked into the other areas on our way out and each space was pleasant and inviting. There was even a children's play area cleverly fitted into a secure closed-off area to ensure the newly mobile little ones are entertained and contained without bolting out into the street or into the way of other customers with a nice seating area for the adults to supervise and eat at the same time.
I look forward to returning to the Barossa soon and will find it hard to go past Nosh when I do. read more
