Nostimo Cafe, Malabar

Nostimo Cafe is a cosy little cafe in Malabar in the Eastern Suburbs. I drop by with MW and we catch up with Tony Hollingsworth for a chat about life and food. From the outside, it looks like a tiny cafe but the menu packs a nice punch of variety.

I love little suburban gems like this because you can easily get a table and take a small stroll down to the beach. Nostimo Cafe is a small 10 minute walk away to a cute little beach and play area for the kiddies. But first, I need a healthy juice.

I share a bunch of dishes but my favourite is the good old Corn Fritter stack with smoked salmon and two poached eggs with hollandaise sauce. This is a special and it has all my favourite parts of a dish. The eggs were poached perfectly and I enjoyed the contrast of the refreshing smoked salmon and corn fritters.

Then a good old classic is the breakfast bruschetta which has a nice thick and crusty sourdough which is topped with smash avo, tomato, feta and rocket. The touch of lime adds a light tang which is refreshing. A must if you are an avo fan. There's also a really heart Omlette with sourdough if you're wanting a nice dose of eggs.

Summary: So if you're a local or looking for a nice day out at the beach nearby - be sure to drop by for a delicious breakfast or brunch. The food is delicious and wholesome. I enjoyed all the dishes so it really depends on what takes your fancy.
