Maze- Toorak

Maze is a new café on the growing Toorak café scene. With Grange road egg shop, Manhattan café, monkey bean and many more cafes located just metres away, Maze had a challenge to step up to their level. Effortlessly, they did exactly that. The quality of the food is incredible, the presentation is beautiful, and the flavours are strong. The staff are really friendly and are very helpful in helping you decide what to order.

Maze Breaky

> Maze breaky with dukkha spiced bread, beef sausage, Kalamata olives, feta, fried eggs, tomato and herb salsa <

The Maze breaky was massive. It is a twist on the standard big breakfast, as it has a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern theme. The bread was packed with flavour and the feta worked nicely with this combination. The fried egg was perfect to add an extra element and make the dish more substantial. The tomato and herb salsa was great to put on top of the bread and combine all the flavours into a mini sandwich. The beef sausage was nice and smoky and really brought a lot of flavour to the dish.

Granola

> Granola with raspberry infused granola, almond flakes, coconut shavings, fresh seasonal berries + vanilla pana cotta <

The granola was super sweet and really enjoyable to eat. It was not too crunchy and the milk poured over the top helped to soften the crunch even more. The pana cotta had a really nice vanilla flavour, which complemented the sweetness of the granola. The fresh berries added a nice refreshing element to the dish, as well as extra flavour.

Duchess of Toorak French Toast

> Duchess of Toorak- French toast with mascarpone + honey cream, white chocolate shards, vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce + walnuts <

The French toast was seriously incredible. They were super thick but really fluffy. The mascarpone was not too sweet, which was perfect to even out the sweetness of the French toast. The vanilla ice cream was perfect to melt into the French toast and make it a little soggy and more enjoyable to eat. The caramel sauce was really rich and worked perfectly with the entire meal. Overall, this was probably the best dish out of the 3 that we ordered, because I am a huge fan of sweet dishes and this one really stood out to me!
