Rom Caffe Coffee
Best Baked Eggs


Lygon Street boasts a wealth of dining options, however most of them lack the ability to differentiate themselves from the rest. Which is a reason why I never noticed Balzari. Having an exam in 3 days, I wanted to go somewhere near with good coffee, decent food and fast service. It met those 3 criterias.

The open frontage displays a classy and comfortable space. The lunch/dinner menu features simple Mediterranean fare. The breakfast menu had many good options. The choice was obvious for me though - Breakfast with the lot.
The boys ordered the baked eggs & eggs benedict.
A very hot pan... filled with 3 baked eggs, softened capsicum, Spanish onion, chorizo, tomato and fetta. Without a doubt the best baked eggs I've ever had (although I can only compare it to Animal Orchestra).

Apparently the eggs benedict had rave reviews. I only sampled a taste of the hollandaise which was not bad, but a little too sharp for my liking.
