Elizabeth’s Boutique Cafe

Although I visited this little café in June of 2010, I really just have to say how much it made an impression on me. I still think about it to this day!
It was quite possibly some of the best food I had while staying in Sydney and anywhere else for that matter. I can distinctly remember excellent tea, amazing mushrooms on toast and a homemade pasta dish that knocked my socks off.
I was only in Sydney for 2 weeks but we went to this place probably 3 times. Definitely stop by here!

A boutique café is the perfect way to describe this establishment. It is run by Elizabeth herself, whose attention to detail in both the food and the upkeep of her restaurant is remarkable. As stated on her website, Elizabeth’s main intent is to «produce food that is not only fresh and flavoursome but also full of the passion of childhood memories.» When I went to the Café for breakfast, I saw that her ambition is woven into everything, from the bright yellow walls to the French-​inspired menu.
Feeling in a ‘sweet’ mood, I ordered the French toast, which was topped with a strawberry-​rhubarb compote and a generous dollop of crème fraiche. The French toast was a mere $ 9.50. The menu is also full of savory dishes like the Croque Monsieur and Madame, a bruschetta of sautéed mushrooms, and a signature breakfast of scrambled eggs, chorizo, spinach, and roasted tomatoes on sourdough.
The coffee is also really great here, and the free Wi-​Fi makes it a superior café to others on Glebe Point Rd. Elizabeth’s also serves dinner, with items on the menu showing influences from Provence to East Asia. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen Elizabeth’s full of people, which it deserves. I’ve only had good experiences here.
