Post Cafe, Marrickville

Post brekkie $12.90
Two eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and coffee or tea

It's easy to work out how Post Cafe got its name: the white capitals that spell Post Office are still there on this heritage-listed building.



Inside the high ceilings, white walls and polished floorboards make this cafe seem large, spacious and airy. Extra large windows let in plenty of warm sunshine and there's ample walking room between tables. A padded bench provides perfect seating for large tables along one wall; along another are high tables and bar stools perfect for those nursing a coffee over the weekend papers.


Grilled chicken breast $15.90
Served on warm vegetables, kipfler potatoes
and a tarragon demi-glace

There's a lovely relaxed atmosphere here. Families and couples provide a pleasant background buzz, staff are present but not over-bearing, and you really do feel tempted to remain there, whiling away your weekend just soaking up the sun.


Turkish brekkie $12.90
Scrambled eggs with sujuk (spicy Turkish sausage),
potato rosti, blackened tomato salsa and Turkish toast

I've made a couple of visits with different people and the breakfast options (served all day) seem to consistently come up trumps. The Turkish breakfast is a particular specialty: mouthfuls of soft scrambled egg mixed through with hot spicy cubes of sujuk Turkish sausage.

The goats cheese scrambled eggs are also delicous, a muddle of soft-cooked egg the colour of pale butter, piquant with the generous crumblings of goats cheese.

Service can be a tad slow but then we've never really been in a hurry to leave.


Chicken salad $12.90
Rocket, baby spinach, semi-dried tomato,
roasted beetroot and balsamic dressing


Scotch fillet steak $16.90
Served on a bed of buttermilk mash, snow peas,
wilted spinach and red wine jus


Spicy prawn and okra gumbo $12.90
served with steamed rice


Goats cheese scrambled eggs $12.90
with shallots and served on sourdough toast
