BIG DOG CAFÉ

BEST FOR Taste KZN’s Terbodore coffee with on-point café fare. FOOD The menu is a mix of classics and fresh, healthy options. Breakfast is available all day and includes black beans on toast with tahini and a poached egg, or mushrooms on sourdough with onion and miso purée and spinach Hollandaise. The buttermilk fried chicken and waffles is given a lift thanks to house labneh, kale tabbouleh and pomegranate arils. The Asian burger topped with miso butter, aioli, pickled daikon and crispy kale is perfect. Indulge in a luscious cake: think gluten-free carrot cake topped with figs and dried pineapple. DRINKS The coffee is full of flavour – try a single origin cup or do a tasting. SERVICE Relaxed and friendly. AMBIENCE White walls and plenty of wood make this a light, bright space. There’s a lovely garden and it’s dog-friendly – provided Fido is on a leash. Kids have access to the neighbouring restaurant’s play area. (KP)
