10/18 Jacka Boulevard
St Kilda
Vic 3182
Bruce fancied a trip to St Kilda towards the end of his visit, so we trundled across by train and tram on a cool and overcast winter Saturday. To be fair when the sun broke through it was a pleasant day to be by the beach, hence the choice to eat at the Beachcomber Café at the St Kilda sea-baths a stones through from the bay.
We chose to grab a table in the covered outdoor section, which with it's wind protection was a pleasant spot to watch the world go by.
There a few spaces inside including a few nattily decorated booths.
Initially we were offered the main menu, however we noticed other tables were still eating brunch just after midday, and after enquiring we were given the breakfast menu which both suited us better and was more reasonably priced.
Bruce went for the bacon and poached eggs which disappeared rapidly.
The better half 's breakfast bruschetta (without the egg) didn't live up to expectations. The Turkish was lukewarm the avocado watery.
I had the home-made baked beans which were flavoursome, familiar and wholesome.
My long black was fine, apparently the flat white was weak. The $9 fresh OJ was served in a jar with a bendy straw, which promptly got blocked with pulp.
The location makes the most of the great views, unfortunately the food and service didn't quite live up to them. The bill came to just over $60.
