Anouk Cafe

I went to this cute little cafe last Monday. Coffee was good, the small cup isn’t small tho. I had the Gnocchi, my friends had the omelette and the Cilbir. And after we ordered the two desserts (doughnuts and french toast). All savoury dishes were beautiful, a explosion of flavour, the bacon was burnt so they gave us another one. Unfortunately the desserts were a huge disappointment. The doughnut had flour flavour and the french toast had no flavour at all. But I would still recommend this place, great service and atmosphere.

Yes indeed! I’m in love with the vibes of this place ❤️‍🔥 The last time I was there for breakfast, we ordered two items and to be honest one of them was just perfect 5/5 ‘ Swiss, chestnut, and oyster mushrooms with garlic confit, parmesan, and pine nuts on toasted brioche’ this dish stole my heart.. However, the other one ‘ Bánh Xèo’ was unsuccessful one, it was really bad! the dirty chai latte was so romantic…

Turkish cafe with asian fusion menu? Had wonderful breakfast here. Turkish bread with avo was just perfection. From the softness of the bread, creaminess of the avocado and the balance in the dressing. Delicious! Baked egg- that was a bit of a let down. It had only one small egg in a big bowl of tomato based sauce. The sauce was delicious with smoked paprika and capsicum etc. However it was just too much sauce. Maybe better paired with Turkish bread also. The lady serving us explained that this cafe cater more for vegetarians and most don't want too much egg.... Anyhow for the price two eggs are expected.

An acknowledging, warm, and friendly welcoming goes a long way; especially on a drizzly morning… As does a long loungey bench pilled high with enormous fluffy cushions. Add in natural light and free Brisbane wifi you get a pretty good all-round nice atmosphere. The food isn't fantastic value when you add in the portion sizes, but it is more unqiue and has been flavourful. For the baked eggs: Good flavours, and a level of spice that I appreciated. Pretty well thought out too, the crispy chickpeas were really valuable for their texture and the sour cream (hard to go wrong) justified the tortillas. Although, in my opinion they were too oily, especially with it being a wet dish. ‘Kawarma: spiced lamb, fried egg, pita w/ hummus and pomegranate molasses’. A combination of flavours I like, and a meal I enjoyed. The lamb mince it didn’t feel that fatty or oily and the texture really complimented the egg, hummus and bread. A subtle drizzle of pomegranate molasses and egg is a nice combination. The hummus felt a bit light on and I think I’d like it warm or at room temperature rather than cold. I was also really searching for a fresh element, like some cucumber, cherry tomatoes or a bit of yogurt.

This place was very busy on a Friday lunch when we were there, we were lucky to get a table for two. My expectation was very high because of how busy it was (it was also very noisy), service was very friendly and food served super fast considering how full they were. Maybe my expectation was a bit too high, so I wasn't entirely happy with the meal. They are tasty but too salty us. Overall nice experience and quite happy with it.
