We've been back to Fenton for brunch, and unsurprisingly for a produce-focussed cafe, the menu has changed. It remains short but appetising, with plenty of well-marked vegan and gluten-free options.
Michael ate the Turkish (soft-boiled) egg ($24), with charred greens, tomatoes, labneh, berbere garlic butter, toasted almonds, raisins, pickled chilli and sourdough toast. For all those ingredients, it was a bit smaller than Michael expected, although the toast, cheese and egg were enough to keep him full. Michael is a big fan of Fenton's pickled chilli and everything they put it on.
I had to try the French toast ($23), which was served as a single thick and not-too-eggy piece (very much my preference!). It was generously piled with a jammy fruit compote, a rapidly melting mountain of latte whip, almonds and coconut shards, and a brûléed banana half.
This meal affirmed the positive impression Fenton has already made with us - we'll look forward the next iteration of their menu.
