The patisseries of South Yarra have been something that has sprung up and become a new pocket of Melbourne over the last year or so. I have been keen to go and check these out for some time, and wow, did LuxBite impress!Springer and I, having our birthdays 10 days apart, had a bit of an impromtu, ad hoc birthday carnival this year, which included brunch and treats. A sugar high for our middle age!
LuxBite is on Toorak Road, a stones throw from South Yarra station, and it blends into those pretty and shiny stores on that side of the river.
Coffees were of course a necessity, being morning and being up and about and all, but it felt lovely having a rare weekday off to live like the other half of the world live! This was once I joined Springer at the single communal table in the front of LuxBite.
The decor was pretty, and colourful...and the place smelled like heaven!
The soft poached eggs are called 60/60 eggs....cos they have been poached at 60C for 60 minutes. Who looks after eggs for that long! They were light and delicious.
The maple infused bacon, plus avo. An amazing breakfast. Amazing.
So many beautiful desserts, all laid out in multiplicity. The colours, the little details.
Even the names were cute - Endless Love, Apple Of My Eye, Be My Love.
This was my selection, and a crazy hit of sugar. But you can make that type of choose on a birthday week, right!?
