White Salt, Sorrento

Even though it is a local, I've always steered away from going to White Salt for breakfast, simply because I know how expensive the dinners are. But alas, the aim to head to Voyage was disrupted due to the fact they sat us, gave us menus, walked back with water then decided to tell us they aren't serving any of the breakfast  menu due to renovations... extremely irritating considering they could have told us that as we walked in? So, instead of driving off we decided to at least look at the White Salt menu and were pleasantly surprised at the resonable price.

As we walked in we were welcomed by friendly staff, given a nice seat and told of the free toast bar. YES, FREE TOAST! Basically, different New Norcia breads are laid out - even a beautiful fruit and nut bread - on a table at the back of the restaurant where you can go and make your own toast, as much as you want and there was also free filter coffee... no cups though?

D decided on his staple poached eggs on toast and a side of hashbrowns which came out beautifully cooked and looked lovely.

I chose to get the spring onion omelette which was filled with spring onion, tomato and cheddar cheese with a fresh rocket salad. This was without a doubt the biggest omelette I had ever seen, literally the size of the entire plate but it was flipped and there was no way I could finish - especially after grabbing a piece of toast from the toast bar. It was extremely delicious though, the eggs weren't overcooked and the freshness of the rocket was amazing. I am not a huge fan of tomatoes but they were chopped up to a perfect size and complemented the eggs well. I'm also not a massive fan of fried foods and the hasbrowns were a little oily for me but slightly different to the packet ones that you seem to get at most places so they were nice. If you get the omellete, don't order sides!

It was a rainy day, but I love nothing more than the beach in winter so sitting inside and watching the rain over the ocean made for a perfect morning at White Salt.

Voyage, Sorrento

My friend Clare and I went to uni together for three years. To go from seeing each other practically everyday to not having enough hours in the day to even do simple tasks completely sucks. So we decided to catch up over breakfast and it has become a regular thing we do!

It's always so wonderful to chat to a friend on a crisp morning, especially when you are overlooking the beach from your seat. We headed to Voyage in Sorrento on a sunny Sunday. This was my first time here, it always looks busy and the menu looked great, plus Clare had been quite a few times so I had high hopes.

Without a doubt I was going to get nothing else but Norma's Salsa ($18.50).

This contained absolutely everything that I love in one and was presented beautifully.  Poached eggs with grilled vine tomatoes, avocado, wilted spinach and mouth-watering marinated feta on crispy delicious toast.

I couldn't really think of anything better for breakfast, the deciding factor on coming back for me, is always how the eggs are cooked. These were simply poached to perfection!

The only negative thing about this cafe is the fact that they want you in and then they want you out quick smart. Borderline rude, but it was enjoyable none-the-less and I'd love to go back and try something else off their menu such as; Brioche French Toast served with orange water & vanilla mascarpone, poached fruit and maple syrup ($16.50) or the Omelette with mushroom and sage ragout, truffled goat cheese and toast ($18.50).
