Reviewed by Karen – November 2014
The Place:
You can sit inside this child-friendly cafe located in the Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of History & Art building, or if you sit outside and dine your overlook the picturesque QEII Park. There is quite a selection of food to chose from including our much loved Bene’s. The coffee was weak and disappointing.
The Service:
The place was clean, and the service was fast with friendly staff.
The presentation:
The meal looked appetising. The colour of the homemade hollandaise topped with the sprinkling of parsley and cayenne pepper teased my tastebuds when my meal came out.
- The Benedict – good. Overall, no complaints but also nothing to write home about. You could get the bene with ham off the bone or bacon, of course I chose the bacon.
- The Muffins – good, crunchy and warm.
- The eggs – were slightly overdone but still had some runny yolk so will forgive that.
- The Spinach – good quantity of spinach.
- The bacon – was good, nothing special.
- The hollandaise – nice hollandaise, homemade and a good quantity, i.e. not drowning in it.
Would we go again?
Yes, but it might pay for me to order a cold drink instead of the coffee.
Scorecard:
Style: Classic 5/10.
Taste: 6/10. The taste was yummy.
Originality: 5/10 – It’s the pretty standard selection of either Salmon or Bacon.
Value: 9/10. It’s value for money. The Benedict (with either bacon or ham off the bone), Montreal and Florentine are all $14.90. I forgot to check the prices of the sides but judging the prices of the bene type meals I assume they are good prices as well.
Eggs: (how good they were): 5/10. Slightly overdone for my liking.
Overall score: 5.5/10
