Gathered kitchen

Another eatery on my recent trip to Sydney was Gathered Kitchen, a relatively new all vegan cafe in Glebe. My friend had eaten there the day before and brought home some filled bagels for our dinner before dashing to a concert at the Opera House.

We had two different fillings, one was with some homemade cheese, truffle mayo, BBQ sauce and some really good rice paper bacon, the other with a sweet potato and pea rosti, cashew sour cream asparagus and wasabi mustard, both on great seeded bagels. The bagels were delicious.

We headed there a couple of days later for breakfast.

On our return I struggled with the wide variety of choices on the menu, but in the end I chose the berry pancakes. My friend chose an eggplant and white bean shakshuka. The pancakes were both delicious and pretty, with a tart berry compote, some coconut yoghurt and decorated with rose petals.

The shakshuka was a disappointment, my nightmare of undercooked eggplant. There was also way too much pepper and oregano in the sauce. It could have been great, but sadly it fell short.
