One of the first brunches of the year and some friends decided to go check out Hunter and Scout at Graceville. This was a long time coming as we had heard a lot about the brunch offerings at Graceville, but being limited by travel hadn't had the opportunity to go. It was lucky we did though.
As an immensely popular cafe, the wait was substantial but at least we got seating inside. There was a drinks menu, a breakfast menu and a lunch menu filled with options that we would really enjoy. Service was friendly but food and drinks did take a very long time (over 40 mins) to come out.
Having already enjoyed a morning coffee prior, I enjoyed the Red Ruby with watermelon, apple, strawberries and lemon. It was lightly sweet and very much thirst quenching during the hot summer's day. Dr L had the Chocolate Oreo Cookie Milkshake because he is obsessed with chocolate, especially oreos. Trying some myself, it was not too sweet but very rich and chocolate-y.
He had the Scrambled Eggs with Spanner Crab Croissant. I had half because it was so delicious. With a generous amount of deshelled spanner crab mixed with egg and scrambled it was flavoursome and rich without being too heavy. The seafood flavours were light but still flavoursome and the croissant was toasted to a crunchy flaky perfection.
I had the cheddar cheese and chive hash brown benedict with salmon. Although the dish appeared quite small, the hash was dense and substantial. The hollandaise was rich and creamy whilst the portion of salmon was also very generous. The only thing was that the eggs were a little overdone, but this could easily be rectified. I definitely enjoyed this dish and will be back to try others.
