Alimentari, Brunswick Street

We were planning to check out the Blackbird and Rose Street Markets this afternoon on Brunswick Street, and decided to get brunch along the way. We happened to stumble upon the lovely Alimetari for a delicious meal.


We were welcomed by an array of delicious foods. A display of meats, cold cuts, pastas, sandwiches and cheeses which you can purchase at the front of the cafe.




There was nothing over $20 on the menu, which is brilliant for broke students such as ourselves.

We started off with our customary cap and lattes which were delivered promptly. :) Nothing too spectacular, but a coffee is a coffee.



The environment of Alimetari was pretty darn trendy. As you come in, you are deceived by what is thought to be quite a small little cafe, until you walk down past the deli area and you are greeted by an abundance of space. It's decorated tastefully with bottles of sauces, cans of fruit and whatnot, and the seating is comfortable beyond measures. It also wasn't too busy, that you could easily have a conversation with the person next you.

The food wasn't the best we've had, but it was pretty damn close. We had the:


Poached eggs on top of a bed of blanched spinach, bacon and a warm hash brown. Topped off with a spoonful of hollandaise sauce and you're good to go. Just perfect. 


Your average French Toast spruced up with a poached pear, vanilla creme fraiche, and toasted almonds to top it off.  


Not a bad place for brunch. Would definitely come back for more.

Our thoughts: 6/10
