Cafe Rust

When I was approached by the Head Chef at @cafe_rust telling me he did the best poached eggs in Brighton I was very interested in putting his theory to the test!

I have visited cafe rust a few times but hadn’t been to their Kemptown site (they also have one in Hove and another near Preston Park) so I was really excited to check this one out. Tom, the head chef has been there since it opened 6 years ago so he has had quite a lot of practise at his poached eggs! We had the Avo Smash and the special which was the Asparagus Benedict and both were fantastic! The poached eggs were spot on and absolutely up there with some of the best I have had (nice work Tom!) I added some halloumi to my Avo smash which was a great addition to the dish too. We also finished with a slice of baked white chocolate and pistachio cheesecake which was delicious! They have an array of cakes to pick from and wonderful coffee too so worth a visit just for those alone! There was also a great selection of breakfast cocktails too and the Bloody Mary we had was nice spicy as requested!

Always been a fan of the Cafe Rust franchise. I still love the one in Hove on George Street with its secret roof terrace out back but the decor in all the cafes are really rustic and beautiful so definitely worth a visit for a top tier brunch!

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
