On busy Anzac Parade, a stones throw away from the horse stables & racecourse, this cafe transports you from busy city scapes to somewhere cosy, warm & inviting with accents of stables & horses in pictures, saddles and trofies lining the walls. The warmth of this place is also reflected by the staff who welcomes you in warmly and are friendly and hospitable throughout my visit. The menu is classic and solid, providing lots of the all time favourites such as fluffy, 3-stacker, plate-sized pancakes which you can choose to have with banana & choc honeycomb or fresh berries. All generously doused with maple syrup & a big scoop of ice cream. Or a healthier, ever so popular smashed avo on toast with fresh cherry tomatoes, a scattering of feta & 2 perfectly poached eggs. The pastas all sound tempting & the chilli prawn number was a great choice with juicy sweet prawns and a good kick from the chilli. Then there are the burgers - you can order it however you like ...read more
Located close to Randwick Racecourse, this venue’s ambience is pretty cool. They have horse-themed decor throughout the Cafe so it really fits to its name. When you enter the Cafe looks like there aren’t many dining tables. But they actually have larger seating area at the back.
It was my first time trying the coffee from Black Market Roaster. I love it. It’s amazing.
I had several dishes today, including Irish Breaky Roll, Barramundi Salad and Chips, Pasta with Tiger Prawns and Pancake with Honey Comb.
Everything was satisfying but my favourites were the Pasta and Pancake. Both of these dishes were beautiful inside and out.
This cafe is at the race course end of kensington and the fit out of the cafe is cool, themed with horse memorabilia. The staff were extremely efficient and very nice. There's plenty of brunch and lunch option and would probably suit all the tradies and workers in the area, but it's otherwise not amazingly good. I ordered baked eggs and chorizo with beans. Generally baked eggs or shakshuka come with a pot full of seasoned tomato based sauce, with onions, herbs chorizo and kidney beans and the eggs are cracked on top and cooked until the whites are cooked and yolks still runny thus are "baked". This version was a bowl of baked beans with two poached eggs dropped in the baked beans. That isn't baked beans, and thus shouldn't be called that. The other members of my group had poached eggs of some sort with on all three dishes were over cooked (not runny at all). The corn fritters were nice and the man of our group enjoyed his works burger and shoe ...read more
Lovely design and decorations. Love the horse theme and feel of the place.
The food was ok not great. They used sliced salmon in the salad instead of salmon files. Like using sliced beef instead of steak.
The back room looks great but unfortunately the carpet smells like cat urine.
I will be back because I have high hopes for this place if they can sort out the carpet smell.
