Guess which part was the best? Surprise surprise.. it was the mash. It had sort of a firm texture not typical for mash potatoes and a tinge of truffle flavour. Delicious! Guess the firmness was also featured in the beef cheeks which didnt turn out as well.
This beautiful cafe along Neil Road (enter via the sidedoor at the alley) holds just as much Insta-potential as its popular sister cafe, Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters at Upper Thomson, and the food here is just as good. There are limited indoor seats, so dress cool to sit outdoors where draping plants line the wall, and order a five-ounce Flat White ($5, opt for Dark Matter as your preferred blend of beans — it's got hints of dark chocolate and macadamia nuts) while you deliberate your main. Portions run big, so it's best to share. The lusciously rich Slow Cooked Beef Cheek ($24) is the most expensive item on the menu and with good reason — set on a bed of truffle mash, the chunky slab of beef cheek is braised to be so unbelievably tender! The Breakfast Platter ($23) is a meat lover's breakfast dream come true. There's toast, bratwurst sausage, avocado, streaky bacon, mushroom, eggs — you name it, it's there! Prices are nett, there is no service charge and reservations are not allowed, so head down early.
Avg Price: $25 per person

These succulent beef cubes fell apart effortlessly beneath our forks, and worked wonders with the complementing sides of truffle mashed potatoes and roasted root vegetables!

Perfect for a rainy Christmas Eve!
Slow cooked for hours, the meat tears away easily with a gentle prod of the fork. Served with truffle mash (!!!), broiled carrots, brinjal and a handful of flowers 🌸🌺🌷💐! A must-order for all beef lovers.
With the luscious and chunky beef cheeks and the final flourish of the greens, you cant stop raving about this dish

Wasn't expecting portions to be this huge! 😱😳 My dining partner struggled to finish this — happy problem tho since the beef cheek was so thick and chunky!! 👍🏻👍🏻 Definitely value for money if two small eaters shared this! Love the truffle mash and the slow cooked carrots and mushrooms! #Burpproved
