PLENTY | Montague Rd, West End

Following the current trend of cafes that offer all organic and all natural produce, my friend Yaz and I ventured to West End one Thursday to try out what was so special about all the hype. This new addition to West End certainly did not disappoint! I love the hole in the wall type cafes (similar to Moose and Gibson and Shucked Coffee House) where you walk into what is an empty bunker transformed into a cafe by eclectic furniture, high set ceiling and post-modern wall art. They say that Plenty is all about 'reconnecting people with the source of food they eat'.

As I was running late, Yaz already found herself a seat near the entrance with was two metal chairs again a wooden barrel. I ordered a mocha and Yaz ordered a fruit juice. The menu is written on a chalkboard in the far wall and they took your order at the counter. As Plenty emphasises a lot on harvesting the freshest product, their menu inevitably changes frequently.  I ordered a mushroom, caramelised onion, Camembert on spinach and bakes egg. Yaz ordered buttermilk hotcakes, local berries, ricotta and white chocolate sauce. 

We were super hungry that morning and the food certainly did not disappoint. Although my palate could not taste the "organic" and "freshness" of the ingredients set before me, it certainly was well presented and well cooked! It was colorful, fun with a dash of healthiness on my dish. With its ever changing menu that is littered with mushrooms, haloumi and chorizo - this place has won my heart over. Definitely will be coming back here again!
