Our friend, Viv (aka @ourfavouritepasttime) got invited to eat at Faraday's Cage and she asked us to come eat with her. Faraday's Cage has been on my list of brunch places to go for ages and this was the perfect opportunity. We were seated in the courtyard and were given a selection of dishes from them.

| Yay Faraday's Cage! |
 |
| Juices and Chai |
 |
| Pastries! |
 |
| So flaky! |
To start we were given a selection of house made pastries. They were deliciously flaky and Viv said it was the closest to what she has eaten in France. That's a winner for sure!
 |
| Best croissant ever!! |
We also shared a freshly baked croissant with Australian cultured butter and homemade peach and passionfruit jam. It was just the perfect marriage of flavours.
 |
| Chilli Scrambled Eggs |
MMMM this was the Chilli Scrambled Eggs ($15.50). It was scrambled eggs, chilli, Persian feta on sourdough toast. The eggs itself were soooo fluffy and silky. We devoured this so quickly. I loved the hidden pops of creamy feta.
 |
| Smashed Avo |
 |
| Dat egg yolk tho |
Next was the Smashed Avocado ($17). This was beetroot hummus, black olive soil, Meredith's goat cheese, breakfast radish, kale salt, rye sourdough toast and topped with an extra poached egg ($2). I don't usually order the smashed avo because it is usually too basic for me but this was jam packed with goodies. I loved the addition of the vibrant beetroot hummus. Just a really solid dish that let the avocado shine.
 |
| Granola |
For the sweeter side of things, we were given the House-Made Pear Granola ($13.50) which was saffron poached pear, house granola, honey, thyme labne, acai and seasonal berries. I am definitely in the savoury camp when it comes to food so wouldn't usually order granola at brunch but it was interesting to try it. It was really different and the fruit and honey lent sweetness to the neutral granola and labne. Viv and Quynh really enjoyed this one.
 |
| Ricotta Pancakes |
To finish the meal, we had the Ricotta pancakes ($17). This consisted of caramelised white chocolate, broken meringue, passionfruit, maple syrup, dehydrated strawberry, lemon balm, marscapone and berries. The pancakes were ridiculously fluffy and I loved the contrast of the fresh and dehydrated fruits. All the toppings were very generous.
 |
| Amazing spread! |
Overall, Faraday's Cage exceeded my expectations. It was truly a delicious meal, that I was super impressed by. The wait staff were friendly and we felt welcomed to dine there. I loved the presentation and how vibrant the dishes looked. I am pretty keen to come back and try the hot smoked salmon and fritters dish. Thanks for having us!!
