Megan’s Deli is the perfect place for a Sunday brunch! This café is small and cute and has small seating areas over a couple of floors. What makes this café special is if you head down the steep stairs, it opens out into a little outdoor garden area.

Here it feels like you have been transported into some sort of country house garden. The tables are dressed with green chequered tablecloths and there are bowls of fresh fruit on the tables. If you go a little earlier in the afternoon, then your luck should be in to catch some of the sunshine in this walled garden area.

There are a range of items and drinks for the Sunday brunch.  A great way to start off is with the freshly squeezed orange juice. It’s of a good size and very refreshing. The scrambled eggs were cooked to perfection and served with some hearty thick granary bread. A filling meal for a lazy Sunday and there were no complaints at all with this brunch!

Megan’s Deli also serve salads and quiches. These seemed to be on a self service basis from the counter inside. It all looked fresh but I would have preferred it if the food had been covered in a counter fridge and also if it was served by the staff.

The staff were good, friendly and relaxed. They did not bother us or rush to take our order. But it was easy to get their attention when we were ready to order!

Megan’s Deli is definitely one of my top places to go to for brunch and I’m sure that I will be returning for another lazy Sunday brunch!

Coquine is a very chic and boutique-like with its patterned walls, carpeted lightshades, huge wall mirrors and teal green decor! It has a bar area in the middle of restaurant. Secluded at the back of the restaurant is an oval table surrounded by high chairs! A nice setting for having drinks and food with a group of friends!

Sunday brunch was our visit to Coquine. To start with, we had a blueberry smoothie! A big glass of goodness made with blueberries, milk and honey!

It had to be the eggs benedict for brunch! I’d asked for my eggs to be well cooked. The eggs benedict was supposed to come with either ham or salmon but I asked if I could have spinach instead. The waitress said that would be ok.

We weren’t waiting too long for our food but when it was served, my eggs had been cooked so that they still had soft yolks. I told the staff that this was not what I asked for. They swiftly took the dish away and not long after, I was given another eggs benedict.

The dish was nicely presented: soft toasted muffin halves generously topped with spinach, eggs and hollandaise sauce. The eggs benedict together with the blueberry smoothie were thoroughly enjoyable!

The staff at Coquine were really helpful and gave service with a smile. Coquine had a great relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant was fairly small so I can see why they advise you to make a reservation!

If you want a good range of teas and hot drinks, then Cafe De La Paix is right up your street! They have the regular tea bag teas, herbal teas, coffees, soy milk, but they also have a few extra special teas!

It was difficult to decide between the chai tea and the mint tea and I eventually decided on the latter! The mint tea did not disappoint; it was fresh mint leaves served with a couple of red berries in the glass!

If you are a fan of ginger, then I would recommend the ginger and lemon tea. This drink has big thick slices of ginger and chunks of lemon. I’ve never seen so much ginger in a drink, but then again, I’m not a huge ginger tea drinker! This ginger drink was sweetened with honey!

Cafe De La Paix does a range of sandwiches, cakes, pastries, soups, and pasta dishes too. The staff were friendly and fairly relaxed. The cafe dining area was ok but some of the tables were a little too close together. It was quite a busy cafe though!
