Review: Rustica Canteen

~Happy New Year Everyone!~

Rustica is famous for their freshly baked cakes and dessert and I had been waiting to try out their dine-in menu for so long. There city store menu is quite limited with several classic dishes. They also stock their freshly baked goods in store and I went home with a pumpkin sourdough which was fab, but nothing beats my mum's pumpkin bread.

Mocha - $3.80
Rich dark chocolate taste. Lots of foam and very smooth coffee

Chai - $4.50

Ocean Trout
Their toast was quite dry and hard to cut into, a common trend
amongst cafes. The trout was smoked well and the eggs poached
perfectly. I loved the sour yoghurt and capers which added some freshness and zing
to the dish. I would've preferred more salad/leafy greens and less microherbs.

Pulled pork eggs benedict - $19
Good price and serving size. The toasted bread was again quite hard and difficult
to cut into. The hollandaise contained a bit of a spicy kick to it and
was of a great consistency. The pork was tender but could have done with more sauce.
Eggs were poached perfectly.
