Brekkie at Kazbah, Top Ryde
18 March 2011, 01:08
HAI! Yes I draw like a 5 year old, mock me as you will… The boy and I were in need of breakfast sustenance and since they opened in Jan, I’ve been super keen to visit Kazbah (La Piazza, Top Ryde City Shopping Centre, Cnr Devlin St & Blaxland Rd, Ryde) which is a hell of a lot closer to our hood than the flagship Balmain restaurant. The layout is definitely more spacious, with tables spilling out into the Piazza and super cheerful staff. Paper tablecloths and crayons provided much entertainment and dammit Noods that was a burger I drew not a muffin!
My sexy french toast came topped with several rashers of bacon, glazed baby figs, dollops of double cream and lashings of apple cinnamon syrup ($18). I thought I’d have issues with my savouries and sweet mixing but it was alllll good. The bread for the french toast was like a giant slab of egg goodness, just soaking up some rays of deliciousness from the caramelised figs and nubbins of crispy bacon bits which I then drowned in the syrup.
Noods had chosen the lamb mince breakfast tagine which came with spinach, roast capsicum, roast tomato, caramelised onion, feta, eggs, and a side of turkish toast and lebanese bread ($18.50). It may look small but oh boy was it filling; though I prefer the vego breakfast tagine which has glorious roast pumpkin pieces.
And because we love halloumi we ordered a side dish ($3.90) naww so cute and um small. But hey, tasty halloumi! Hope you guys have an awesome weekend!
Back to home
Bananaaaaaa! The French toast looks awesome. I was initially a skeptic but now I loves my bacon with maple syrup.

— Audz Mar 18, 10:49 AM #The service was over the top, ended up being told subtle to hurry up and finish the entre because our mains were ready. and the mains were small. maybe it just the top ryde chain?
Bah-nah-naaaaaah! Had the breakfast banquet here recently. No paper on our table though =( but utterly defeated by the food =D
