karine's fresh

omg! simply superb!! nestled in a rather lackluster food court, the lovely karine serves up amazing food with warmth and charm. i had a delightful bowl of garlicky, lemony, olive-oily, beany ful tonight, and may well go back for another tomorrow. in an instantkarine'shas joined my top ten favourite restaurants.

love karine's! we've had them cater a few of our team breakfasts at our office, and they always do an amazing job. maggie from thekarine'steam comes in and cooks omelettes, belgian waffles, serves hand-pressed orange juice... all with an infectious energy and smile. can't say enough good things about them!!

loved! loved! loved! i really was interested in finding out why there was such a great line up at karine's! the breakfast/ brunch plates are really unique there and their menu really caters to everyones taste buds!

i love howkarine'sadds a lot of fresh fruit to their plates. i saw a couple of people order their fresh smoothies and it looked great! on my to try list next time that's for sure! i wanted to try everything on the menu so i chose a brunch plate that incorporated many items!😄i had their garlic fries and let me tell you it was the very first time i actually had fresh garlic over my fries! i love garlic so i thought it was to die for. their fries are warm and crispy. i also loved the home sausage. had such flavor and bite to them. everything is made fresh atkarine'sand i suppose that's why patrons are constantly returning. i also thought it was extremely cute they had a couple of tables around the store front with dressed with table cloths and a small vase with fresh flowers. it was the first time i saw a food court eatery with dressed tables and flowers! adorable!❤ a small detail but it shows the love of the place. karine herself is a delight! she was very sweet and made me right at home which is exceptional in a food court eatery!

i will definitely return back tokarine'sfor some more yummy brunch! i highly recommend if you are in the area! heck, i would even go out of my way for their brunch food! 👍🍴☕🍳🍉🍞🍹

i've been tokarine'stwice (once a million years ago and again recently) the menu is a little overwhelming with all of the options as well as the tiny print and strewn about order of it all. i ordered the grilled cheese sandwich both times and it was honestly just not my taste. it was a double decker though so that was a plus but it just didn't have that buttery goodness i was looking for, a little dry. at $8 or so it seemed steep but it came with heaps of fresh fruit and you can tell they care about the quality. although what i ordered wasn't to my liking i have no doubt thatkarine'sis a great spot and i'll be back to try other things off the menu in the future.

great vegan breakfast!. i ate here on the way to the ago. it's always a joy for a vegan to find a good breakfast, particularly a restaurant with more than one option -- vegans trying to eat breakfast out get stuck with sides (potatoes, fruit, toast) quite often but here there are lots of choices! i had the waffle with mixed berries, and the person i had breakfast with had parfait. i was very sceptical when i realizedkarine'sis in a food court, but the food was very good -- it also helped that coffee came in mugs rather than take-away cups, that the cutlery was metal not plastic, and the food came on nice plates rather than plastic trays. breakfast was great and service was friendly; if i lived in the area i would very likely make this a once a week destination.

sunday brunch day. located conveniently inside the spacious food court of grange park,karine'sbrunch was surely a popular spot with long line ups. i got the vege omelette with garlic fries on the side. my friend got the all day breakfast with bacon and garlic fries. the valentine's day decor are up and thy are selling brownies and pink cookies!

wonderful!.karine'sis a great and affordable spot for a healthy breakfast. super delicious, and the staff is *beyond* friendly. :-)

quality far exceeds location. unbelivable find!karine'sis surrounded by food court staples, but cooks to order and uses fresh ingredients. seems like it doesn't belong- but i am not complaining. this place is a breath of fresh air. well worth seeking out. in a more upscale location, the same meal would be reasonably priced at 50% above what they charge now. outstanding omelets. salad is soaked in dressing, but both greens and dressing are exceedingly fresh.
