Dear Abbey- Moonee Ponds

Ricotta Hot Cakes

> Ricotta Hot Cakes with red wine poached pear, freeze dried raspberries, lemon maple butter syrup, vanilla fairy floss + a mini jar of Nutella <

Dear Abbey is a large café in the heart of Moonee Ponds. They are located in what used to be a church, so the layout is quite classical and the exterior looks like a church. The staff are extremely friendly and are down for a casual chat. They are helpful in choosing what food to order and provide some great suggestions. These hotcakes were super thick and very fluffy. They have so much flavour, and with the lemon maple butter syrup poured on top, it is quite sweet and definitely filling! The poached pear is a perfect addition to the presentation as it really makes the dish pop and brings a refreshing flavour to the overall taste of the dish. The fairy floss tops these hotcakes off as it adds to the presentation and flavour of this meal. overall, I would highly recommend going here just to try these hotcakes! They are seriously delicious and very filling. I would recommend sharing this dish with someone, however, if you have a large appetite, then there is no harm in demolishing them all by yourself!

Billy Bargo Breakfast

> Billy Bargo Breakfast with avocado, Persian feta, bacon, tomato + rocket tossed with pesto served with a poached egg on a pumpkin bread <

How delicious does this dish sound?! Despite how pretty the acai bowl looked, I could not resist trying this incredible savoury meal. All the elements work perfectly together and I could not have asked for a better flavour combination. The avocado and feta were so smooth and the pesto blended so nicely with both these elements. The pumpkin bread was a great alternative to normal sourdough as it added a bit more flavour and a different texture. Overall, I really enjoyed this dish as the portion size was massive so I was really satisfied when I left.
