Hankering for an egg fix after a long Australia Day weekend, I chose Beaufort Street Merchant (in Highgate) with my expectations riding high. I’ve had breakfast there before and was not disappointed. However, this morning I wasn’t so lucky. The two white orbs of goodness arrived on toast – a little too thick but forgivable. One of the eggs was already split. As I carved into the first it was tough and over cooked. The yolk runny, but not runny enough. The toast was delicious but hard to cut through. I left most of it on my plate like a school kid would their sandwich crusts from lunch. Overall presentation was OK and the service was great as always. I was disappointed but think I may have just gotten a bad couple of eggs.
