A group of us was at a retreat in Scarborough one weekend and decided to have breakfast somewhere nearby and ended up at Toscanini’s Cafe.  There are a number of Toscanini’s Cafe around - in Perth, Applecross and Bicton.  The one we visited was located inside the Sorrento Quay Boat Harbour in Hillarys.

Toscanini’s is opened for breakfast, lunch and dinner and is located at a premium location with a panoramic view of the blue ocean and the Harbour,  speckled with boats and yachts.  I love the feeling of the crisp morning air while basking in the warm sunshine having a meal and coffee.  Toscanini’s meets all these requirements and more!

For breakfast that day, we had:

• Lattes, Long Macchiato and a Milkshake
• Scrambled Eggs on Toast ($9.90)
• Eggs Florentine ($17.90) – Two poached eggs with spinach on toasted English muffin and chef’s hollandaise sauce
• Fresh Fruit Salad ($12.90) – Fresh seasonal fruit with Athena Greek yoghurt and toasted almonds, served with cinnamon French toast
• Vegetarian Breakfast ($18.00) – Eggs, tomato & mushrooms on toast.  Includes coffee/tea with orange juice
• Ricotta & Strawberry Jam Toast ($8.90) – Served with fresh strawberries and toasted almond

All the breakkie dishes came out looking awesome!  They use very fresh ingredients and I couldn’t wait to dig into the food.  I had the Vegetarian Breakfast and loved how they heaped up the mushrooms, a plus for me.  It also came with a coffee and orange juice which I thought was a bargain!  I also tried the Ricotta and Strawberry Jam Toast which was quite yummy.  The bread was still crisp even after sitting there for awhile and the ricotta/jam/almond combination was nice especially topped with big slices of refreshing strawberries.  All in all, everyone thought the food there were great.

I will definitely recommend this place for their breakfast and lovely atmosphere.  Service was ok – order had to be placed at the counter but dishes brought out to the table.
