Pasture of Balmoral sets up shop for your breakfast cravings.
Sydney breakfast fans will be overjoyed to hear of a new addition to the booming café scene for the Harbour City; Pasture of Balmoral. The breakfast and lunch specialist has just arrived in Mosman, where the menu is largely seasonal and led by acclaimed Vue de Monde chef, Justin Naudi.
Chef Naudi (who has worked at Goma, Chez Dre and Vue de Monde among others) has created an extensive menu for both breakfast and lunch feeds, complimented by coffee from Will & Co, and a rather impressive wine and cocktails list. Dishes range from the decadent ‘truffled eggs’; two soft poached eggs topped with prosciutto, shavings of pecorino and truffle oil, to the more fitspo-inclined ‘house spelt crumpets’ with honey, citrus ricotta, seasonal berries and lemon myrtle. More substantial meals arrive around midday, including a pan-roasted snapper with piperade, roast fennel and black olive tapenade.
Pasture to plate forms the ethos behind the eatery. “We wanted to serve a menu that is healthy, fresh and ethically produced, while respecting the farmers, fishermen and artisans who work tirelessly to produce the food we enjoy,” explain owners Lizelle and TJ of their new venue. There’s also a hefty dose of native ingredients interwoven in the menu, with recurring flavours including the likes of lemon myrtle and eucalyptus.
The space itself sits on the sunny corner of Mandoloong Road and The Esplanade. Its coastal location has evidently influenced its styling, which has been taken care of by The Guru Projects. White washed timber panelling, rattan detailing, and plenty of natural light are weaved throughout the two-level venue. The bottom level it home to a plethora of wooden tables, pot plans, and the open kitchen. Upstairs is designated for events and functions, and comes equipped with bay windows which offer sweeping views over neighbouring Balmoral beach.
Pasture of Balmoral is open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week from 6.30am. It also hosts dinner on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 6.00pm. 51 The Esplanade, Mosman; facebook.com/pasturebalmoral.
