I have been wanting to eat at Tyranny of Distance because I love, love, love it's name. Unfortunately as the name suggests it is quite out of my way, but I recently made a trip down to Prahran and finally got to try it out on a brunch date with Bubs.
I started with my usual cup of mocha, so good after the drive!
Bubs and I shared the "Salmon Eggs, nothing like Caviar" ($17.5), which was their house smoked salmon, beetroot relish, avocado, spinach, poached eggs and potato rosti. I loved all the components of this dish, together and separately. And it made for such a gorgeous looking dish!
After the delicious brunch I visited Agathe Patisserie, where the lovely Agathe sells her wonderful baked goods in the little back Alley (best to enter from Artist Lane, just around the corner from Tyranny of Distance). As you may know I have a soft spot for pastries and baked goodies in general really, but I'm also bit of a fussy pastry-snob in that they must be really good. Who wants to waste good calories on bad pastries! Agathe's goodies ticked all the right boxes and I was super impressed with the lovely spread of croissants, cruffins and caneles I brought home that day.
The Juliette ($5) is a lovely almond croissant with raspberry and rose, beautiful with a cup of tea.
The croissant ($5) is made up of of layers and layers of light and flakey buttery goodness, easily one of the best croissants I've had in Melbourne.
And the caneles ($3) were perfect little cakes with a caramelised sweet crust and a soft, almost custardy centre. Currently you can buy her delectable goodies from this location and also at the Prahran Market on Saturdays. Agathe's most recent stall at the Cake, Bake and Sweets Show will no doubt make her goodies much more in demand!
I am most certainly inspired to make little trips to Prahran a lot more often.
