We are all excited when Spring turns the corner. Not only becuase there's less rain (well sometimes), but because there's beautiful flowers, and of course, new menus at our favourite cafes. Creative dishes with exotic cultural inspirations, there are plenty of options that are out of the box and a twist on your basic breakfast choices. New dishes on Auvers' menu include: • Mushroom Valley Pudding - mushroom bread and butter pudding, lentils, cheese, almond and mushroom sauce • Heart Of Ocean - twice cooked salmon on a sourdough, pickle fennel and radish, vinegared yolk, lime caviar, nori and grape gazpacho • Ox Tail Spaghetti - with crispy kale, sea grape, angel hair chilli, mushroom and cheesy kombu butter. We tried the new Soft Shell Crab Rice Burger, available for a limited time only. Created collaboratively with @chubbytraveller, it is made with - with crispy kale, roasted tomatoes, vinegared yolk, cripsy lotus and teriyaki bonito hollandaise sauce. The mix of
Chinese, Japanese and western inspiration, makes for a super interesting and tasty dish. We also had Auvers' version of the traditional eggs Benedict with a buttery flaky toasted croissant and ham with pulled pork. Their Hollandaise sauce is a little different, with our well loved ponzu juice. In addition to this dish, you will find Onsen eggs (slow cooked at 60 degrees). The most loved dish was the Apple Crumble French Toast, served with chestnut, apple ricotta, black sesame crumble on a brioche bun with black sesame tuile. This is throroughly recommened for the sweet tooths out there. Drinks wise we had a regular milk based coffee as well as hojicha latte, which is perfect for matcha lovers. Tasteful trendy decor and a comfortable setting with classic ambience makes for an easy brunch choice. Located in Rhodes, close to the shopping centre and public transport, so it's easy for...
Read more2nd visit - Dec 2019: Good experience 2nd time around - dishes with Asian inspired flavours was well executed - tasty and pleasing to the eye. They even gave us complimentary dessert (pandan pudding) to share between 2. Recommend the Pulled pork Benedict and truffled fried rice and taro frappe. Friendly staff. First visit: Don’t get the hype of this place. Sure the menu sounds creative but the service and quality of the dishes served up is shocking! Long wait of 30 mins for the first dish to come out, then another 15mins for the 2nd dish of 2 to arrive. Corn fritters was gluggy and too flour-y; crab omelette was all egg and too much butter/cream with no other flavour or protein to cut through the heaviness. Service was all over the place... there was a waiting list however some inconsiderate people strolls in and claims their own table without the staff controlling table allocations. Every time you ask for anything (cutlery, water etc), it takes nearly 10 minutes to arrive. This is despite about 5-6 staff roaming around in a very small cafe. Much better training of waiting tables and servicing with a smile is crucial! Won’t be returning. A very disappointing...
Read moreThis is my first time leaving a negative review on Google. If possible, I would give it 0 stars. The C8 table is very wobbly and uncomfortable – fine. I sat down and waited for ten minutes without anyone coming to take my order. I took the menu and went to the front to order, but the staff asked me to go back to my seat and scan the QR code to order. However, I noticed that other customers at different tables were being served by the staff – fine. We sat there for almost fifty minutes, and not a single staff member came over to ask us anything – fine. After we scanned the QR code to order, it took the store half an hour to prepare the cold brew – fine. We noticed that the table next to us, which arrived about 20 minutes after us, had already been served and their order taken by the staff, while our food still hadn't been made! This is not fine at all!!! As a restaurant, you must serve your customers in the order they arrive! Thank you for canceling our order, since you never actually made it! Thank you for wasting nearly an hour of my time. Maybe your food is delicious, but I will never come back again.
I'm not a mean person, I'm just...
