My First Love of Pancakes at Brasserie Bread

I have finally found the best pancakes in Sydney! At Brasserie Bread, 1737 Botany Road, Banksmeadow 2019, you will find pancakes with a twist. It is one of the signature dishes, along with the Croque Monsieur, Mushroom & Ricotta, Bruschetta, and Garlic Bread.

Sourdough Pancakes

The pancakes were light and the sourdough taste was subtle. The honeycomb cream and berries added a finishing touch to the pancakes, without taking the distraction away from the pancakes itself.

Unfortunately the picture does not do justice at all as it was taken with my phone.

My husband had the Croque Monsieur. "A Croque Monsieur is a hot ham and cheese (typically gruyere) grilled sandwich. It originated in France in the early 1900's as a fast-food snack served in cafes and bars. More elaborate versions are coated in sauce such as Morney or Bechamel. The name is based on the verb croquer ("to crunch" or "to bite hungrily") and the word monsieur ("mister")."

"The Brasserie Bread Croque Monsieur uses crème fresh and Dijon mustard mixed into the melted gruyere cheese. The "crunch" is provided by Brasserie Bread's award winning organic Country Sourdough bread."

A light snack, but full of flavour. Complex in texture, with the crusty sourdough bread and soft filling inside. The subtle chewy melted cheese, thin layer of ham, bitter rocket, and crème & mustard mix all combined to perfection.

And how can I resist the temptation of the cake selection? 

Pineapple & Lime Eclair

The pineapple filling was a winner, not overly sweet just the way I love my dessert to be.

Vanilla & Rhubarb Tart

Now this is a very interesting tart. I have never come across tart so crunchy both the filling inside and the base outside. So refreshing!
