Cucina Simpatica - Launceston

I made a spontaneous trip to Launceston from Melbourne and arrived shortly after the restaurant opened on Sunday morning. Despite being fully booked, they kindly squeezed me in at a table. The atmosphere, service, and quality of the food were all outstanding. I ordered the big breakfast, which was as impressive as it looked in the picture. It was delicious and filling, I didn't even need to eat lunch that day.

Great breakfast, huge menu, the staff are highly efficient and friendly.

I had a delicious experience at this restaurant with their American style pancakes topped with maple syrup, strawberries, and cream. The maple syrup was chilled, giving the pancakes a refreshing touch. The oat milk hot chocolate was also scrumptious, especially when paired with the homemade short bread and marshmallows. The staff were very friendly, providing excellent service, and the view of the park outside was lovely.

The food is good Presentation is 5/5 Food is 3/5 Unfortunately nothing is seasoned and they rely on sauce to enhance flavour. Mushrooms are bland. Eggs are bland. The toast is like chewing on a boot. Eggs are poached in glad wrap. Hollandaise sauce always tastes good but might be store-bought. Salmon is great. They use real avocados. I still come here often because the meals are nice.

This restaurant is one of the few open for lunch on Sundays. They offer an all-day breakfast menu with a wide variety of choices. Every dish I saw coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic. The food we ordered was satisfying and delicious.
