P R O U D M A R Y

This past week, I was sent out to another part of Australia for work. I don't mind travelling, in fact, I love it. But for work purposes, I did not sign up to move to Melbourne just so that I would be sent out of town for 4+ weeks at a time. Anyway, no more griping for now. One of the best ways to get over stress is to eat. This past weekend, we ventured over to Collingwood to visit Proud Mary's. This is a brunch spot that has been mentioned by many of our friends here in Melbourne so we knew it was going to be good.

There was a great vibe to this place, it was packed with people that were there for both the delicious looking breakfast (served all day) and the famous coffee. Some have mentioned the coffee served here to be the best in Melbourne. If that isn't a tall feat, I don't know what is (it was fantastic though). The lineup was out the door but somehow we got a spot within 5 minutes of arriving - we're not going to complain about that! The coffee was fantastic, bold and strong, it was exactly what I needed to start the weekend. We both ordered the hash which came with grilled bacon, roasted kale, and a poached egg. The portion size was enormous but it wasn't just the quantity that got our attention. Our breakfast was amazing and would easily rank with the best we have had in Australia. We will definitely be coming back.

  1. Lucky that you got a spot to sit down, even with a
    line outside! This place is written on my to-visit
    list! I hope they serve tea and latte as well! The
    scrambled egg on that toast looks GOOD!

    1. The thing is, I don't mind travelling but just not 4-5 weeks at a time. 1-2 weeks sure... but I moved to Melbourne for a reason... and that is not to spend significant amounts of time out of the city. Anyway I'm griping again :)

  4. Ooh looks wonderful! Love your photographs as always (I know I always say the same thing, but 'tis true!). Funnily enough I am off to Canberra for two days at the end of this week ... haven't been there for ages but will take the camera along in case I get some time to take pictures :)

  5. I enjoyed the photos a lot, but so sorry to hear about your work! I hope things change for you. I remember when I was in middle school my Dad was away for work 95% of the year, it was a good 5-6 hour drive just to visit each other! I know traveling is fun, but you are right, you want to spend more time in the city, and you should!

  6. Always good to see your work! specially the travel blogs.. Question. Do you take prior permissions for photographing the place & food. Sometimes, the management doesn't allow photography inside.

    The place looks awesome.

    1. Thanks, I don't ask for permission to be honest. Most restaurants aren't so stuck up that they do not allow picture taking. If I knew that a place would not allow it, I wouldn't even ask but if not, I would rather take the shot then say sorry afterwards.
