Sani was a handy local spot for brunch in bad weather, forming a convenient little loop with the food shopping we had planned. On our first visit, we strung together a funny medley of very good savoury plates; this time we ordered a little more conventionally.
Michael was very much in favour of the Sani interpretation of avo toast ($26) - smashed then topped with bbq corn salsa, feta, pickled onions and coriander, chipotle aioli between the toasts - except for their choice to stack the slices. At least it made room for his bonus fried egg ($4).
I was similarly pleased with how they play French toast ($23). It's a single thick brioche slice - not too eggy - served with a moat of vanilla anglaise, topped with a hearty dollop of mascarpone, enough poached rhubarb, and a scattering of macadamia crumble.
I find the Sani setting a little stark, although the staff are plenty friendly. Vegan options were sparse for Brunswick (adaptations on the otherwise-cheesy avo toast and winter salad) but what they do, they do well.

Accessibility: Sani has a shallow-ramped entry and clear walkway through the main areas. Furniture is medium-spaced regular-height tables with backed chairs and cushioned benches. We ordered at our table and paid at a low counter. We didn't visit the toilets.
