Back at Kin for breakfast

I just wanted to add to my previous post about Kin restaurant in North Carlton that they do an awesome and extremely well priced breakfast. They make their own light as a feather brioche which is irresistable as a kind of breakfast appetiser (and they don't mind if you dunk it in your coffee - I asked!). There are the standard eggs various ways (with some bonus lovely condiments to accompany), beautiful homemade sausages, and some amazing little pastry 'pouches' stuffed with various beautifully matched fillings. Treat yourself to the beautiful surrounds of Kin for a great breakfast/brunch, open from 9am on weekends.

Our very local

The closest actual dining establishment to my home has changed hands/theme/style/name so many times since J and I moved to Carlton six years ago that we almost gave up on keeping up. The only reason we went back the other night was pure laziness - it is literally 47 J- steps from our front door (about 103 T-steps). The latest incarnation is called 'Red Vibe' (330 Cardigan Street Carlton) and it is pitching to the local uni population (fun but not very much cash). As it was date night and I wasn't paying, I am not sure of exact prices, but it was something like $12 or $15 for a steak or parma including a pot or glass of wine - AND the food was good, AND quick - lucky because we just missed a uni pub crawl... Those were the days!

Kin Carlton

Recommended by a friend, fantastic food, great winelist, beautiful bonsai table decorations, a must try haunt for the desert that is the section of Lygon Street between Carlton and Brunswick (apart from the lovely Enoteca which is directly opposite) - hopefully this augers well for the future of this part of Carlton. Apparently a winner for breakfasts too - I will definitely be up there for that next weekend.
