Pellegrino's — Restaurant in District of Canberra Central

Once upon a time I had an experience with a common delicacy often referred to as the 'egg and bacon roll.' At first glance I immediately recognised that this was a 'double egg and bacon roll' which as the name suggests, includes a double serve of bacon and egg. The roll itself was of the brioche class and small scrapes of sauce covered the external of the dish from where it had oozed out as the top bun was placed on.

The first bite is what physcologists would describe as a combination of true love and pure euphoria. The egg was so perfectly placed that the yolk instantly broke in a way that coverd the roll with delicious liquid gold with almost no spillage. The bacon, ahhh the bacon. The slightly charred border of the strips within the roll crunched in such a magical way that was so perfectly complimented with the perfect toasting of the brioche bun that it created what I would describe as the closest thing to heaven.

What really topped it off for me was not the bacon, egg nor the roll but the sauce. I'm usually one to sway towards the classic bbq but it took me by surprise when I was asked if I would like aioli as well. I'll never forget the look on the girls face as she said that. It was so casual and relaxed for she hadn't recognised the severe impact it would have on my life. Feeling adventurous, I accepted her offer and combined the aioli with the bbq. The combination was divine and life changing to say the least.

There are few careers in this modern society where your actions can make a positive impact on society as a whole. I truly believe this roll was created by someone who intends to offer the very best to the rest of the world and although there was no visual indication, I believe the roll was filled blood sweat and...

Very average experience.

The service was decent and food and coffees came out quickly.

We ordered 2 cappuccinos and they were basically flat whites with chocolate on top. I didn't finish mine as it was bitter and watery.

The big breakfast was decent sized. Portions were good and it looked great. Bread was very lightly toasted which can be good or bad depending on your preference.

They had steak knives on the table which is was appreciated when attempting to cut through the crust of the bread.

The tables on the right side of the venue are all sporting a wooden rustic look. They were sticky due to the varnish.

Considering how many cafes there are nearby, I would only return if everywhere else was full and I didn't want to drive...

Visited twice, on my first visit I ordered pasta, it seems that the chef pour whole can of salt into one dish. A week later, on my second visit I ordered salad, I excepted a better taste and believed that last time bad experience was an isolated accident. But sweet Jesus, this time even worse, the salad was as salty as pickles. I was shocked and started to worry if the chef is suffering from long Covid so he lost his taste.(may god bless him). Then I have to give up on this meal and ordered from somewhere else.

Coffees are average, at least not salty,...
