Effie's Balgowlah just north and up the hill from Manly's Corso. A fitting pre holiday feed spot for a date or hors devours crew where none of the participants are shy to eat and drink. It's true neighbourhood spots like these that I feel from time our fair city of Sydney, had been missing. Sure, the city—and now the inner west—has always played home to the ambitions of chefs looking to make a name for their creativity and portfolios, and also nab a hat or two.nnBut when you can utilise a space successfully to not only churn out a solid AM offering but pirouette seamlessly into a luxurious and exciting dinner experience that maintains the democratic and welcoming ambience, the people will come—by land, plane or sea, as is potentially the case with getting to the Northern Beaches. Speaking of, the menu is a great expression of the above 3; salty, bright and fatty interplay between well paired offerings of stone fruits, stracietella and cured meats Nduja is a must, and elsewhere on the menu such as the taramusalata and house made crumpets. P.s. these crumpets, I'd kill for. An #iykyk thing.nnEnding with a fish fry that's perfectly cooked, the crust golden and steeped perfectly in the herbacious tsatziki, being that close to water I can't recommend this main enough. The cauliflower is the sleeper star isn't it always, super full of South East Asian inspired flavour—think tang/acidity, earthiness, a peppery kick and an undertones of sweet with a real textural interplay brought out by the chickpeas.nnSupport local, experience special and smile. It's a damn good time.
I had such a lovely dinner last night at Effie's. The pesto tortellini was delish and the kimchi potatoes were crispy and yum. Loved the dimmed setting and the overall experience :
Effie’s is a cool little cafe. I like the simplistic decor of basic white colour. The staff are friendly and relaxed. The menu offers sandwiches and the one I had was the Ham and Cheese Toasty with beetroot and gin relish. It was delicious however over priced at $14.nThe only disappointment was that they didn’t have a full breakfast menu. The coffee is by Skittle Lane 8/10. Be sure to check this out if you’re driving down to Manly someday.
This cafe screams “Good brunch day”.nnTotally in love with the minimal interior and also their cute decorative glassware.nnTo my surprise, they also have such an amazing toastie. I ordered the Deli Roll and Roastie and oh boy these toasties were so fresh. I don’t usually like pickles but the pickles in this toaste was the highlight. The perfect acidic level and sourness for pickle sorry I’m picky with pickles LOL.nnRoastie would be a great option if you are a vegetarian because it is a mushroom based. A bit spicy due to the jalapeno but it is so good, especially when served with their warm and soft sourdough.
I like the clean design of Effie’s and the simplicity of their food, I think this is how Coffee Shop should be. Strong game on their coffee and have food to compliment the coffee, not the other way around.nOrder2 Small long black, a glass of juice, 2 Avo Smash Toast which is fresh and delicious. All together $58. This is a standard price for breakfast for 2 anywhere in Sydney.
