We decided to visit Gnome, it was on our list and the blogs looked good. It was actually blogs about this cafe which led me to ordering the breakfast board at Toby's Estate the day before,
I got there much earlier than E&B, despite being late myself, and had an OJ, freshly squeezed, which was wonderful, but I forgot to take a picture of it.
I had plenty of time to look through the menu, and guard my table from all comers, it's a small cafe and very busy, and when I finished my juice I couldn't resist the allure of an iced tea with lemon and lemon sorbet.
You can see my point right - not something to pass up. It looked good and tasted great, not teeth curlingly sweet, like iced teas can often be. The lemon sober was nice and lemony and as it melted into the iced tea it gave it an increasing lemon kick. It meant the taste of the tea changed subtly as I drank it - really really good.
Once B&E arrived we decided on food, they were playing badminton after, so didn't want something too heavy and I had been eyeing off the boards for a week or so online. We decide on a chicken sandwich - which was pretty good - nothing to write home about, but I'd get it again if I was in the area.
The board on the other hand was fantastic, there was this one and a seafood one, and I think we chose well.
Lovely fatty salami, smooth pate and salty procuitto. There were sharp pickles to cut the salt and beautiful cheeses. A sharp aged cheese and a delicious creamy blue.
Definitely a place to return to, sadly Surry Hills is not my local area, and there are so many other places still to try. Obviously the answer is to eat out more:).
