chimichuri

came here at noon on a sunny sunday over the long weekend, and surprisingly, didn't have to wait! the cafe is spacious and not too noisy.
iorderedthe black benedict, which was charcoal open bun burger with coleslaw, two poached eggs, and one soft shell crab halved. beautifully flavored, not too heavy or saucy, and a big portion size. the eggs were perfectly poached, the crab was fresh, the buns were fluffy and had a hint of sweetness.
alsoorderedan almond croissant - not overly sweet and was good to finish the meal with. the cappuccino was a bit too milky i thought.

my friendsorderedthe scallop shell and tako inkkie. i didn't get to try it but they said they were great!

ordered:
1. cappuccino - really good coffee
2. pulled pork roll with extra baked beans on the side - the pork had a very smoky taste profile which was too strong for my liking, but if you love strong flavours and love to eat meat, then you will love it here. their baked beans are amazing, one of the best i have eaten, fresh and full of flavours , i really should just order baked beans and toast next time. i asked for the egg to be well done and they succeeded in serving that this time. when they first opened, iorderedwell done poached eggs and they couldn’t deliver it twice, i’m glad they can now
3. big breakfast - the star ingredient was corn and baked beans
4. vegetarian macaroni - bland and not much flavour, avoid this dish

will i go back: yes for their coffee and baked beans

i discovered this café on instagram & had to try it. me & 2 other friendsorderedthe 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 a nice finishing 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

loved the drinks here, got the green matcha latte and coconut latte.

for the food, very generous serving sizes.orderedthe big kahuna and seared scallops.

taste overall: 4.5/5
value: 5/5

i checked out this cafe last weekend. it was my first time exploring the chatswood food scene!

i was pleasantly surprised by how close the cafe is to the train station - it definitely makes the trip more convenient. there was also no queue when we arrived so we were seated quickly.

iorderedthe seared scallops which came in a croissant with scrambled eggs, spinach and herbs. my friend recommended the dish so i decided go try it.

it was tasty and filling but i personally don’t love the taste of scallops so i wouldn’t eat it again. the portion size was decent so if you are looking for a choice which is satisfying and different to typical brunch dishes then i suggest this.

black bennedict was awesome!!^^ but iorderedsalad but somehow it took 40-50min to be served.

this place used to be good. seems like its run by a new chinese owner.
i went with a friend and eachorderedcoffee and food, my meal came out almost instantly and although presentation was nice, was cold. must have been a mistake that was sitting around they decided to serve. the other meal came out when i finished mine, the ahi tuna poke bowl was extremely mediocre for the price. coffee was mediocre also. when paying the bill, the staff asked me how was my meal, and just as i was about to tell him about my bad experience he gets interrupted by other staff, turning away from me and doesn't bother to listen to feedback he asked for. won't be coming again.

had been to this place before and this time iorderedtake away.
the chips is highly recommend, it would be the best chips i had for the last whole year.
the black chicken burger is also inspiring

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.orderedthe soft shell crab burger last time, nothing spectacular but looks nice in photos

iorderedthe famous black benedict. i loved the squid ink hollandaise and charcoal brioche bun with the soft shell crab. all of the elements of the dish perfectly complemented one another to establish an all round worthy meal. i am excited to try the sweet side of chimichuri such as the panna cotta.

i came here when it first opened, and it was amazing. today was my third visit in a long time, and i was pleasantly surprised that the food was still so great. iorderedthe latin avo, and although looked simple, the flavours were complex and worked really well. the bread surprisingly was also one of my favourite components as i find some cafes have really hard toasted bread (sourdough)..... i also tried my friend's dish, the veggie mac & cheese, and this was so hearty and yummy as well. presentation of both dishes was great. 
coffee is great, and they also do a range of lattes such as red velvet & coconut (????!!). 
overall, i think i'll definitely come back again to try more of the dishes! it seems like a cafe that really pulls off the creative menu. service: 7/10
ambience: 7/10food: 9/10

nice food - pretty and tasty! friendly staff too. weorderedblack benedict, pull pork roll, scallop and wagyu beef burger. they all come in huge portion. great place to meet up with friends and share food together!

iorderedthe latin avo which was beautifully presented (so were all the other dishes) and also very filling. the french toast looked super cute, but also very sweet so i'd only get it if you have a sweet tooth! the lick my bacon seemed quite heavy (with bacon,halloumi and hash brown) but my friends really enjoyed it! (but also struggled to finish it) overall, we all left very satisfied with our meal!

chimichuri is definitely an instagram friendly brunch spot with a great selection of dishes to select from.

weorderedyellowfin tuna steak and lick my bacon. the halloumi and maple syrup made my dish super amazing and full of flavour. the thick cut bacon was crunchy, just the way i like it! it was busy when we arrived for brunch, but service was pretty quick.

we couldn’t find parking on the same street of the cafe, so we parked at the next street.

nice service and instagram friendly food! we went on a rainy day with no queues. orderedthe salmon taco and black benedict, really enjoy the subtle flavour! dishes were beautifully presented, very creative. coffee was good. the mango milk shake was ok but not too sweet, which i quite liked. feel healthy and fresh eating here.
