This cafe was our last stop for a quick bite and gas before we hit the goodbye-for-now button in Christchurch. One of the few places that actually made it on Yelp and had a review so we decided to stop by and give it a try. After all, who can say no to Eggs Benedict in this country?! I can't even count how many times I've had Eggs Benedict on this trip to the South Island and I'm only here for a week - it is amazing how good they are at poaching their eggs here!!! Major eggporn moments every. single. time.
We opted in for the Salmon Eggs Benedict and it was literally the best one I've ever had. The bread had the perfect amount of crunch to it. The salmon was fresh and meaty. The sauce tasted light and didn't over power the dish itself. The eggs...oh the eggs, I have no words for them. They were absolutely perfect in every ways (can you tell that I'm obsessed with these damn perfectly done poached eggs?!). We also got the Mango Peach and Passionfruit Crepes and my oh my, it definitely did not disappoint. The crepe skins were soft and chewy with a light amount of powdered sugar on top. The toppings were zesty and sweet. The syrup wasn't too sweet and the whipped creme just added just the right amount of creaminess to it all. It was quite a wonderful experience to say the least. This meal made me not want to leave the country..ever. I cannot wait to come back here!!!!
