An Australian-style brunch restaurant in Jongno where everything - bread, sauces, hash browns - is made in-house, a commitment that elevates every dish. The eggs Benedict layers spinach, bacon, and a poached egg with hollandaise on butter-fragrant bread for deep, composed flavor, while the avo on toast features smooth avocado mousse on crisp homemade bread, with the house tomato relish serving as the flavor anchor. The Aussie Big Brekkie is a hearty plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, avocado, roasted tomato, mushrooms, homemade hash browns, and bread. The vegan shakshuka also impresses with its skilled herb blending. For dessert, the vegan banana bread is essential - remarkably moist and sweet despite containing no butter, served with ice cream. The drink menu holds its own with options like strawberry cream green tea latte, green tea smoothie with kale and kiwi, and a smooth Melbourne-style flat white. The high-ceilinged interior features a spotless open kitchen visible from the dining area, and the strong presence of international guests creates a distinctly cosmopolitan atmosphere. Staff provide friendly, detailed explanations of each dish. The restaurant opens early, making it suitable for breakfast, though weekends can bring waits.
