wok you talking about?: Cafe Morso (Pyrmont)

By Boo_e

Daniel took me to Café Morso for my birthday breakfast. What a terrific way to start my favourite day of the year! Morsos breakfast menu offers a wide range of brekky dishes. They have some of your more traditional dishes like eggs benedict and toasted muesli with yogurt, but it’s the unique breakfast dishes they have on their menu that’s the draw card for me. Dishes like the Potato and Dill pancakes served with Gravalax smoked salmon a poached egg, watercress and lemon crème fraiche and the bacon and egg Gnocchi with truffle oil and micro herbs are what sets Café Morso apart from your other cafés. Not to mention their exceptional coffee. Now I do confess to be a little bit of a coffee snob so when I say Morsos is ranked as one of my top 3 coffee joints it means that their Macchiato (my drink of choice) is made with just the right amount of frothed milk and is at just the right temperature so that it goes down smoothly and leaves an aromatic aftertaste to be savoured down to the last drop.

The potato pancakes were light and fluffy and slightly crispy on the surface, the dill in the pancakes meld particularly well with the smoked salmon and the lemon crème fraiche is perfect for cutting through the richness of the poached egg.

I've also had the bacon and egg gnocchi here previously as well although not pictured here I can tell you that incorporating bacon bits into the potato gnocchi was a genius move. The gnocchi was surprisingly light and the poached egg on top with oozing yolk was decadent but not overly rich. The best part of this dish for me is the lightly drizzled truffle oil and the micro herbs, these ingredients turned this dish into something even more special for me.

The toasted muesli with mixedfruit and yogurt was also very well done in terms of the balance between fruit, yogurt and muesli. Watermelon and rockmelon carefully chopped into tiny cubes are place on top of the honey drizzled yogurt brings a refreshing taste to this traditional dish.

Morso is definitely a place worth visiting even if it’s just for the coffee. Suggestion: Ask for a seat outside as the view is great and you get a lot of sun on the deck area. Also Morsos is pooch friendly, so if you can’t bear to leave you bestie at home then take him/her with you and Morso will supply a water bowl for you there.
