It was a hot day and Romana’s has the choice of outdoor seating in the street or air conditioned indoor dining. We went with the indoor option. The menu had all of the traditional brunch items such as the customary $8.50 museli, a full cooked breakfast or various pancake combinations however there were a few stand out items.

Eggs Benedict

Gabrielle went for the Eggs Benedict which was very good, with great hollandaise and top notch poached eggs, the only quirk being that instead of being served on English Muffins, this Eggs Benedict came served on smallish hash browns making it a serious rich dish with not much available to soak up all the hollandaise sauce.

Green Eggs and Ham

I however ordered the Dr. Seuss special and went with the Green Eggs and Ham. The green eggs were created by mixing Basil Pesto into the scrambled eggs mix. This was then served on top of some double smoked ham on Ciabatta toast topped off with a garnish of rocket leaves. I have to say this was pretty tasty and I’d definitely order it again, I may even try to make my own at some stage too.

Overall

The atmosphere of the cafe was very comfortable with seating around the edges and bench seating down the middle of the cafe and there was a TV styled fish tank that acted as a stand for the water cooler. The Campos coffee was  made to a high standard and there was a broad variety of different freshly squeezed and blended juices on offer.

The only draw back was the waitress who served us who is best described as an ‘ice queen’ and just looked like she did not want to be there. To sum up though, I’d highly recommend hitting Romana’s for brunch as the food and drink were all of a high calibre and the pricing was reasonable as well with most brunch dishes topping out below the $16 mark.
