This cafe is unworthy of mention to the point that I forgot its name and had to google it. A friend and I ventured to the Marrickville Road cafe on a Sunday. It was empty and unwelcoming. The feature wall gave the cafe some edge, sure, but there was nothing else to be excited about.
The menu at Marrickville Road Cafe is extensive (and cheap) but nothing really stands out. The menu is also unattractively presented in a plastic booklet for lack of a better description.
Eventually my friend opts for the eggs florentine. The service was quick and we had our meals shortly after ordering. The eggs were poached nicely but the accompaniments are a let down. Butter mushrooms and sauteed spinach were scattered roughly over the plate. The presentation overall was a bit dull and the meal could have been easily replicated at home.
I ordered the big breakfast (both meals were around $10) and my was it a disappointment. The "scrambled eggs" were flat, not fluffy, and cold. The mushrooms had the same flavour of the canned varieties and the sausage was nothing special. The Turkish bread was lathered in too much butter.
We found ourselves disappointed with the cafe, both the dull food and the unfriendly service. And it surely didn't help that the cafe was swarming with flies.
