Cafe Brunelli has been a mainstay of the Rundle Street dining precinct for well over a decade. Famous for their wood oven pizza’s, the Ourworldinreview team stopped in to try out Cafe Brunelli’s breakfast menu. We have previously experienced their lunch and dinner menus at one of their other stores in West Lakes, so why not complete the trifecta.
Cafe Brunelli’s city store is located at 187 Rundle Street, Adelaide, in the main hustle and bustle of the city’s popular East end. The cafe has a large dining area and offers inside and outdoor dining options. The tables and chairs are a standard wooden setting inside, and they have weather resistant seating outside. They’re not the most comfortable of seats inside, but they suit the styling of the cafe.
Once inside you can’t help but gravitate towards the fresh cake section for the visual treat. If you are like me, the first decision is which cake to order if there is room left after a big breakfast.
The breakfast menu isn’t huge, but there is enough there to make you consider what you are having. We opted for the Blueberry Pancakes with maple syrup, served with strawberries and cream. These fluffy pancakes were not overpoweringly sweet, but once finished we couldn’t eat another bite.
The other dish we tried was the Eggs Royale. The dish consisted of poached eggs served with smashed avocado, smoked salmon covered with hollandaise sauce on a toasted Italian styled bread. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and when carved into, the eggs released a yellow explosion of egg yoke. The hollandaise sauce was good but became a little sickly once closer to finishing the meal.
We made sure we tried Cafe Brunelli’s coffee and ordered two nice warm lattes to complete the breakfast. They were delicious, small, warm and milky.
Cafe Brunelli on Rundle street is a large popular cafe, and with so many tables available, you shouldn’t have any trouble in getting a seat in the morning. If you opt to visit for lunch or dinner, you can try your luck or book. Find their details here. The meals are quite large so don’t go overboard ordering heaps, unless you know you are a big eater. Ordering of food is done at the service counter and the prices for breakfast are reasonable, ranging between AUD$10-18 especially for the amount of food you get.
Brunelli’s will not rush you out the door, and they also offer food and movie deals by their affiliation with the Palace Cinemas near by. So this could be a good food and entertainment option when you are in the city with friends or family.
If you can’t get into the city they also have stores located at the West Lakes Mall and at 489 Payneham Road, Felixstow. Next time you’re in the city have a meal at Cafe Brunelli and tell them, Simon from Ourworldinreview sent you!
