Jay Winey Big Brekkie
The Winey Big Brekkie is organised chaos in the best possible way. Thick-cut bacon, croquette, saganaki, avocado, eggs and sourdough stacked together like a recovery meal after a long night and a bad decision. Rich, indulgent and somehow still balanced.
Y Å M Ê Z Mushroom & Polenta
Then there’s the Mushroom & Polenta. Earthy wild mushrooms, crisp fried polenta, whipped ricotta and crispy enoki coming together in a dish that feels far more serious than standard café food. Deep savoury flavour with enough texture to keep every bite interesting.
