reviews some of their favourites.
The biscuit and gravy is a buttermilk biscuit (more like a scone) in a home-made sausage gravy.
This is definitely not your typical gravy, it’s more like a thick white sauce with bits of sausage in it and it tastes absolutely delicious.
The “biscuit” looks like a scone smothered in the delicious gravy, however the texture is more like a soft biscuit.
The eggs, any style, on the menu consist of two eggs (made the way you like them) with a hash brown with candied bacon or broiled tomatoes.
The candied bacon, as explained by the waiter, is made with caramelised sugar for a sweeter taste.
The hash brown tasted good and was fried perfectly.
If you’re in the mood for something a little sweeter, try the buttermilk pancakes that come with whipped strawberry, butter and maple syrup.
My other favourite was the French toast – and again, it was not your typical bread dipped in egg, French toast.
It’s a brioche bun soaked in nutmeg custard with whipped honey butter and maple syrup.
It has just about the right sweetness.
What good is a brunch without a drink on the side?
If you’re not in the mood for tea or coffee, sip a mimosa made with fresh naartjie juice.
If you prefer your brunch with something with a little more kick, try their spicy Bloody Mary garnished with a blue cheese-stuffed green olive.
