chimichuri

met up with a friend in chatswood and she decided to come here. the menu isn't huge but the items are interesting. tried the taro milk tea which was alright, i found that flavour a little too subtle.

we had the breakfast burger and the black benedict. both were in black buns and were really tasty. the burger was on the specials board instead of the menu and had sausages and hash browns. the black benedict was a soft shell crab egg bene. we also had the french toast for dessert. it was delicious and filling. it even had a small tub of nutella. there were also other items which looked interesting like the panna cotta. we also noticed afterwards about food items on their instagram like the croissant with scallops.

the food here is quiteniceand the portions are decent. it is a fairly small cafe with a few tables overlooking the road. service was really friendly and on point. i can see why this place is popular.

i discovered this café on instagram & had to try it. me & 2 other friends ordered the black benedict, scallop shell & chimichuri eggs.
my order was the black benedict & it was so good, the black hollandaise sauce was a bit weird because of the colour, my lips were black & some were stuck on my teeth but it could be wiped off with a napkin easily but still tasted like hollandaise sauce.
the shift shell crab was so crunch, the poached egg had the yolk ooze out perfectly & the salmon roe gave it anicefinishing touch.
the scallop shell is what i really wanted to try but my friend really wanted it so i decided to go for something else so we didn’t have the same dish & she said it was really nice, the eggs had a gold taste and cooked perfectly. i guess i’m just going to have to come another time and try it for myself.
the last dish was the chimichuri eggs which were good, basic breakfast/brunch food but still tasted good.
our frappes were green tea matcha, red velvet & taro - these were made so well, not too sweet but not bland either. it was not sickening and went well with our order.
overall, i would definitely recommend and i will be coming back to try the scallop shell
8/10

quiet and hidden place located in the hearts of chatswood, they make awesome chorizo rolls and it's fresh! the server is super friendly and it has anicevibe to it.

it is a place that i will recommend. i went on a sunday afternoon. being in chatswood has its advantage and disadvantage - it is not far from the station and on the other side (so not crowded) but parking can be challenging so we parked on the other side. they do allow dogs but you can't sit where theniceseats are as the space there is quite limited. so we were placed on the second set of staircase. i just wish the restaurant has better space. the food is great!

great place away from the hustle and bustle of chatswood's main street. had the scallop shell and lick my bacon, both with a croissant base, but the former with scallops, aioli and scrambled eggs, the latter with hashbrown, bacon, haloumi and maple syrup.

flavours of both werenicebut quite heavy for breakfast (beware!). scallop shell had perfectly cooked scallops and creamy eggs and just needed a sour/spicy zing to add to the flavour - perhaps more sauce as couldn't taste the drizzle of brown sauce.

overall a great meal and would love to come back to try some of their other dishes as their panna cotta dish was not available

anicecafe with interesting and filling dishes.

🍞signature french toast ($21)
🥐lick my bacon ($19.5)
🥗big kuhuna ($22)

the toast was pretty good. i enjoyed the fuity flavours with nutella flavours. the fairy floss added a lot of sweetness. the syrup tasted really good with the croissant and contrasted nicely with the bacon. if you're hungry, get the big kuhuna, it's a hearty meal.

food isniceand fresh, looks as appetising as the taste. i went in thinking presentation is the key, but the food really is as good as it looks. got the truffle eggs benedict and coffee, not the cheapest brekkie but definitely a great experience. the staff is kind as well, expect to wait a bit for the fresh food but trust me, it's well worth it. definitely will revisit.

service is five stars but the food is a little bit average. the food is nicely presented but lacks a little bit of taste. the wagyu burger was with raw mince which tasted a little funny. ordered the soft shell crab burger last time, nothing spectacular but looksnicein photos

great place!! it’s kind of hidden in chatswood but it was still quite busy when i got there.niceatmosphere, friendly staff and food was served fairly quickly! a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. i got the tuna poke bowl; across is the squid linguine. the fish was a little bit salty but the lemon and other veg counteracted it. the squid linguine was a bit sweet somehow?? so putting some salt and pepper on it fixed it.

came here last year so this is a really late review but i still wanted to say how chimichuri is a reallyniceplace to go to. the food was amazing and beautiful, and so were the drinks offered. though, i wish the seating area was a bit more spacious, but its not a big issue for me. its a little bit on the pricier side but, i would love to come back again.

the food here were not what i had expected it to be, the presentation lookedniceand the staff were really friendly but the food that came out were pretty average and has little to zero flavour. the soft shell crab was really bland and it had little sauce in it, same goes for the wagyu burger. the pasta however was really rich and creamy,

their mac and cheese was really good though

i cannot believe i haven’t come across this place before?! i’m in love.. food was the best breakfast i have had giving this place a 5 out of 5. i would defiantly revisit any chance i have. suchnicestaff and the places ambience is so relaxed. love it!

【anicesmall cafe with yummy soft crabs】


i love soft crab very much, since you can eat the whole crab, very convenient and yummy. there are two benedict eggs, one white, one black, which makes the dish very ins friendly!


vegetable and tuna, very healthy dish, there are corn and peas as well, verynicein color. but i like black benedict more.


that’s my favorite coffee, here is quite good. now i need two coffee everyday to make me stay awake.

worth trying! hope you enjoy your meals here.haha i drew my favorite dish here.
