V Rating: VV Green’s is a charming cafe just a heartbeat away from the madding crowds of Bondi Beach. The decor is rustic country with a leftie feel - carefully chosen country antiques, white painted wooden chairs, and a mismatched collection of green paintings and plates on the walls. One of the best things about Green’s is that they only do breakfast and lunch. Any place that knows its strength lies in boiled eggs and ricotta on toast gets brownie points from me. And for vegetarians, Green’s certainly does its stuff well. Of the 17 menu items, 10 are vegetarian. This includes fresh ricotta on toast with avocado, tomato and rocket; boiled eggs and toast; and asparagus and blue cheese salad with beetroot, endive and crushed walnuts. Another veggie option is the parmesan scrambled eggs with roasted tomatoes and mushrooms on toast which I’ve enjoyed on a couple of occasions. On the day I reviewed Green’s the parmesan eggs were delicate and tasty. Unfortunately, the single mushroom and cherry tomato were more garnish than side, and the mushroom was greasy. The picture is not so rosy for vegans. Only one menu item is vegan (pear and hazlenut muesli with poached nectarines and soy milk. Fortunately it’s great muesli). Nothing else on the menu stands out as particularly adaptable, but you could ask. Aside from tasty vegetarian breakfasts, Green’s has a lovely outdoor courtyard that feels like someone’s backyard, friendly staff and a great range of teas, smoothies and cakes. It’s a shame that Green’s is not more vegan friendly, otherwise it would have scored a definite VVV. Post a comment
