Brother Bon IV

March 12, 2023

   

On the long weekend in March, Michael and I cycled around the northern suburbs running a few errands, timing it all to include dinner. Wazzup Falafel wasn't where we expected it to be, and The Moor's Head wasn't open either - there was nothing for it but to fall back on long-time fave Brother Bon.

With Wazzup's falafel wraps and FSP still fresh in our minds, we both gravitated to the 'burgers with chips' section of the menu. Michael was taken with the chicken souvlaki ($27), which is wrapped in a spring onion pancake! We both appreciated this flaky, savoury innovation. Chips were excellent and plentiful, which was just what Michael wanted after our previous dinner fails.

   

I dithered over three other mock-chicken options, and eventually took heed of the "chef's recommendation" emoji attached to the katsu chicken sando ($28.50). It is well earned! The chicken fillets aren't dense or chewy, and they have the crispiest crumb around. The chicken is packed up with a mild slaw into thick, soft and slightly sweet white bread. There are more of those excellent chips, served here with a fine vegan gravy.

Brother Bon have hit after hit across their extensive menu - we won't bore of it any time soon.

Accessibility: The entry is flat and tables are moderately spaced. We ordered at our table and paid at a low-ish counter. Toilets are individual non-gendered cubicles with a shared sink space. A cubicle I have used included menstrual product disposal, and another one was marked for both wheelchair access and a baby change station.
