Charlotte and the Quail is one of my favourite places to get brunch. If you have ever had Norish you would love this place but for me personally I love the food here more! Although there isn’t a big selection on of food, they can accommodate to your dietary needs. Their drinks and food are prepared and presented so beautifully and the nice part about it is that you can pop by hpc gardens afterwards! It also feels really homey there and everyone is so so nice! I love sitting out on the patio if there’s any seats available. Here is what I ordered, I got the Bean & Eggs with Bacon and my boyfriend got the Chicken Tartine with the Soup of the Day! I don’t know where they get their Bacon from but it was so so good! I loved the Cashew Hollandaise and their Baked Beans. The sweet potatoes pairs nicely with the Hollandaise! The Chicken Tartine was good too, the soup was super yummy! As for drinks we got the Pink Rose and Matchalicious Latte.

So if you don’t want to wait in big lines for Nourish, definitely...

This is a small restaurant/cafe surrounded by gorgeous, robust gardens, tucked away in the serene island landscape. The atmosphere was so gorgeous, elegant, and relaxing.

The food was so flavourful, organic, and wholesome. I chose to build my own breakfast by ordering two poached eggs, a sausage, gluten-free toast, and a cup of soup. Although it sounds simple, every element of the breakfast was beautifully served (with edible flowers to boot) and absolutely delicious in it's own right. Amazingly flavourful sausage. I also tried the "matchalicious" drink, with almond milk and dried cranberry flakes on top. It was full of matcha flavour and had the perfect amount of sweetness, contrary to many of the matcha drinks I've tried--which are usually packed with sugar.

My meal here was beautiful both in presentation, atmosphere, and flavours. The server was attentive and sweet. Would 100% recommend for a daytime brunch, if not only just to eat in such a...
