Liar Liar
6/769 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn
I’d like to start today with a plea to selfish cafe goers everywhere, I have always supported children at cafes and think little people have a place in the world too. However if you have 6 kids and 3 double strollers as part of your breakfast entourage you probably shouldn’t try and squeeze yourself into a small cafe in Hawthorn.
Liar, Liar is brought to you by the people that brought you Apte and Three Bags Full. I have to say it’s lacks a little of the beauty of Apte or coolness of Three Bags Full but it is still a great place to breakfast. A converted warehouse with exposed plumbing, art deco furnishings and carpeted walls provides a great mixture of colour and texture. As in Three Bags Full there are some great lightshades, this time made from inverted steel bowls.
Hot tip – think before you speak when talking about carpeted walls or you’ll stop your breakfast table and those around you with a loud and exuberant statement of ‘I like the feel of carpet on my back.’
Mimi had the free range eggs poached and served on 5 grain toast with bacon. Unfortunately whilst the eggs were good, the bacon was like cardboard.
Lauren who used to moonlight as a juicer in the Daimaru juice bar back in the day gave a special mention to the fantastic mint, lime and apple juice. The fruit toast was better than usual with good quality marmalade.
I had French toast with poached plums, mascarpone and maple syrup. It was good but with no strong textural elements was lacking in a little something extra.
And, do we want to stay for breakfast? Maybe, if the people with double strollers find somewhere else to go
