Cornwall Park Restaurant and Café is one of my favourite dining places.  I love the fact that you get a spectacular view of the Cornwall Park through the windows while having your food and that, if the weather is good and the sun is shining, you can go for a short or long walk in the park after you breakfast, lunch or dinner. 

The staff are all professionals and this time round we had a waiter who although was a New Zealander but was tossing some French words here and there and not only he was very polite but also quite funny too.

The service was great. It included the timing of serving our food and beverages as well as the presentation; the whole lot was a nice experience.   

If you are checking the menu and the food prices on Cornwall Park Restaurant website, be mindful that the website prices are out of date, as the price for full breakfast on their website is $18.50 where it is actually $19.50.

Food and Drinks

Free Range Eggs Benedict with bacon $17.50 Large Mocha $5.00

The hollandaise sauce was one of the best I’ve ever had.  It seemed that a dash of saffron was added to the sauce ingredients, which made a huge difference. 

The look and taste of the eggs benedict was perfect.  I loved everything about this dish, from the colour of the eggs and the hollandaise sauce to the taste of the spinach. 

Full Breakfast $19.50 Orange Juice $4.00

The portion of the full breakfast was just right, not too much or too little.  The sausage was cooked well and the potato chunks which were in replacement of hash brown(s) and rather interesting to me.  The premium bacon added the necessary zing to the whole dish.  Apart from the potato chunks which was something new as well as the good quality bacon, this full breakfast seemed very average.   

Free Range eggs Royal $18.50 Flat white $4.50

The Free Range Eggs Royal, is pretty much like the Eggs Benedict but instead of bacon it was served with smoked salmon.  The salmon was smoked very nicely and it was one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever tasted.

Open face Omelette $16.50 Ice Coffee $5.00

The Omelette ingredients were: eggs (of course), tomatoes, onion, feta cheese and some herbs.  The omelette looked, somewhat over cooked and I was not sure if it was brown because of all the herbs or it was not taken off the fire soon enough.  I found this dish average too.
