Your usual breakfast fare.
At first glance, New Farm Deli isn’t your usual breakfast
haunt. More like your local Italian Deli, no one would have guessed that this
deli come restaurant would be more popular for its breakfast and lunch fare
than its hand cured and sliced prosciutto. As lovers of kitsch interiors and
breakfast joints that mirror grandma’s front sitting room, we found the
atmosphere to lack the cosiness that a late Sunday breakfaster craves. In order
to give the food the chance to be the deli’s redeeming quality, we ordered the
Deli Stack with Salmon, which consisted of a potato and feta rosti, avocado and
2 poached eggs, and a special of baked eggs with chorizo. The food
came out promptly, considering the overflowing tables surrounding us, and
looked appetising to both the eyes and the tummy. Unfortunately, the New Farm
Deli did not live up to its reputation on this particular visit. The Deli Stack
lacked any flavour and acidity, and would have benefited from hollandaise or an
onion jam for the rosti. On a positive note, the baked eggs had more flavour
and a nice spicy kick to it. Unfortunately, the eggs were rather dry and
overcooked, so this just added to our overall disappointment. Overall, we
really wanted to love New Farm Deli but this visit left us wanting more than
the basic breakky fare. In our books, everyone deserves a second chance, so
check back here and we will keep you posted!
