Giddy Up Foodstore — Restaurant in Hobart

Good points: ambiance, attentiveness of staff

Neutral points: needs better covid safe process - not good enough to have a sheet just at the cash register. Meal took ages.

Bad points: i clearly chose very poorly because the chili jam eggs and avocado with haloumi chips breakfast is one of the worst meals I've ever had. I would say it was inedible but i ate it all because i was so hungry after waiting so long. The key for why it was so terrible was that there was absolutely no thought put into the overall flavour balance and style of the dish. It just seemed like a bunch of terrible ideas put into one awful dish. The "chili jam" (read: sickly sweet chili sauce) slathered ontop of poached eggs was a particularly revolting aspect. I had assumed the chili jam would be more complex in flavour, like Thai or Malaysian style with a nice balance of umami, salty and sweet. It should be on the side so you can choose the amount. The halloumi "chips" were also not what i was expecting- since they were crumbed and deep fried - more like a croquette. Halloumi never tastes good like this - it would be far better to have the pieces pan fried and sliced like chips. Aesthetically and in terms of flavour. The avocado was boring and plain. The rocket was merely a dry garnish.

I sincerely hope you take the advice for remedying...

I've been a regular at Giddyup Cafe for a fair while now and I've always enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere and top-notch coffee. Unfortunately, my last visits there on the weekend were not as great as usual.

First off, the chef seemed a bit off his game. Instead of focusing on the dishes, he was having a chinwag, which was pretty loud, to be honest. It's all well and good to have a yarn, but not when it affects the food quality.

Speaking of the food, me Eggs Benedict were overcooked, and it tasted like the wrong sauce was used. The mushrooms in the dish were undercooked too, which was a real bummer. It's a bit disappointing to see the quality of the tucker slip like that, especially since it's always been ace in the past.

So, here's my two bob's worth of advice for the Giddyup Cafe - I reckon the chef should brush up on his skills a bit and pay more attention to what he's doing in...
