Burnside Café

Burnside, loving this logo.

You know when you drive past a place over and over on a random way home and always forget to go in? Or don’t have he time? Well mine is Burnside Café. I drive past there a lot and always take my eyes off the road (just for a second) to look at its clean, white face. She is, very pretty.

Fresh green and summery its the perfect spring spot. There is a little garden and fountain which creates wonderful ambiance and a great area for the kiddies to play (if you have any). The white décor is just up my alley, clean and crisp. I have heard mixed reviews from people about the service but when I was there the waitress was always attentive and waiting to serve. And a table of nine women all wanting the same thing in different variations all at once can be... challenging to say the least. So the service is good.

The attention to detail is what I like. A cake stand with fresh cakes under glass bell cloches sits pretty and tempting outside... beats the average revolving cake stands you get in the mall... Ew. The food is served covered in a duvet of rocket and sweet dishes are adorned with pansy flowers and caster snow. Detail extends even down to the water which is spikes with oranges and strawberries, LOVE it when restaurants do this.

Everything is fresh and tastes homemade, see below what we ate.

Try it, I know you’ll love it.

Weekend Learning's

From left, Burnside Cafe, new lace shoes, Lucky Moo.

The last weekend in August. I cannot believe its almost September! It almost feel like yesterday it was January and I was so certain about the path I was going down. Life is what happens while you’re making other plans right? And now its 4th quarter. This is what I learned:

• Sometimes all you need is a good Friday in to sort your mind out, to calm the storm, and to do a hair treatment.
• Burnside café is a stunning little breakfast spot.
• I like food that’s both salty and sweet, pancakes with syrup strawberries and salty bacon is divine.
• Sometimes I wonder what the hell is wrong with you? Smile once in a while okay!
• I love my new little shoes... I miss tying shoelaces.
• I hate pink, but ill wear it for the Wetnose foundation, Pinkie Fest was the best yet.
• Going from daily chatting to nothing at all for 3 years and then seeing the person out and about after all this time is awkward. Stop looking at me.
• Sunday’s which are grey and overcast are awesome, I pick you bed, ill be the duvet.
• Lucky Moo is so delicious! Has to be my new favourite Chinese spot AND their website is so cuteness.
• With regards to the above point, if a restaurant has an awesome website I think the food tastes even better, must be a designer thing.
• To tell you the truth I actually DON’T want to talk to people on a Sunday. Id like to have a day to myself without you badgering me thanks.

If he doesn’t chase you after you walk away... Keep walking.
