thick wooden boards rather than plates – my baked eggs arriving in a vintage-looking glass bowl on a paper doily. The eggs are delicious (baked in cream – not for those on a New Year health kick) but I’m slightly disappoint­ed the ‘‘soldiers’’ are actually just one piece of thinly sliced toasted ciabatta. The spinach and bacon are cooked well and a good balance to the creamy eggs.

Boyfriend loves the clean flavours of his banh mi – the strong cao lau sauce countered by the crisp greens in the salad.

The service is friendly, efficient and profession­al - so much so we’re surprised when we learn how new the cafe is (it only opened in late-December). Foxtrot Parlour is owned by Tara Brogan, who is also at the helm of popular Grey Lynn staple Savour and Devour and food design specialist Quintessen­tial Kitchen. No wonder Foxtrot customers are in good hands.
