To make the most of a glorious three days break, popular options include taking a drive down south, or up north and of course the quick sneaky trip to Bali (a cheap three hour red eye flight and you're sipping cocktails on the pool deck by midday).
I like to take the opportunity of an extra day off to take a long drive to a fairly far placed cafe for brunch, coffee and fine company.
To continue on from our last post of our lovely Western Australian coast we venture up a little bit further north towards Sorrento and arrive at our destination - Voyage Kitchen.
Located on West Coast Drive its reminds me a giant light blue boathouse to almost match the clear blue sky we are blessed with on most summer days.
We manage to squeeze into a parking spot out the back and walk through the back and are confronted with a small crowd of fellow breakfast seekers and a general roar of chatter echoing into the shared courtyard.
Our wait was not as long as I expected and soon enough we were guided through the restaurant to a table for two out on the enclosed verandah.
Although ridiculously busy I was very impressed at how the staff handled the volume of patrons with pure ease, efficiency and politeness. Ample and appropriate time was given for us to place our order. Drinks were brought out with little wait and food was quick to arrive soon after. Communication is imperative during a busy service and you could tell the waitstaff are trained well.
Cold Drip Coffee Sparkling Spritzer with a slice of lemon. A Refreshing Caffeine Kick.
Voyage Breakfast Board a deux.
For the hungry individual who loves salty and sweet.
Why compromise when this breakfast board provides both.
Now where do we start...
Sweet corn and spring onion fritters were light, fluffy and browned beautifully.
A crispy pork belly wafer on top a bed of fresh peppery rocket and dollop of creamy Greek yoghurt.
A warm toasted buttery brioche bun with a perfectly poached egg, tiny shaves of sharp pecorino and a sweet tangy tomato relish.
The chipolatas were a satisfyingly meaty addition.
And of course the sweet finish of potted creamy yoghurt, poached berry compote and nutty crumble top.
For those who love eggs, yolk and yolk porn - I hope you're happy.
A fair drive for those who live south, I urge you to try this coastal establishment.
If you live relatively closer, I am truly envious.
Great food, top notch service and if you're feeling a bit too full, just walk it off along the coast enjoying the clear blue sky and the warm sunshine.
