JUDGES HAD TO SAY

Perfectly toasted sourdough with creamy avocado

Bright and zesty with calamansi juice

Almond beet pesto adds a nutty, earthy layer

Pickled golden baby beetroot, never had that with avocado toast!

Poached egg with cured yolk flakes, so creative and funnn

Two plates of avocado toast topped with poached eggs, seeds, and garnishes, a cup of latte with latte art, and a plate with a savory toast with poached egg and garnishes, on a wooden table.

We've combined elements from our Head Chef - Martin's background from his time in Swiss/Czech nations as well as the classic familiarity of New Zealand tastes from our Sous Chef Zachary and tying it in with Filipino roots of our FOH Manager. It is US on a plate.
