Mmmm... Metrio & Co

One of the bonuses Mini Me brings is you're up early on a Sunday morning without a raging hangover.

Why is this good? Because I can indulge in my favourite meal of the day. Breakfast!

'Eat like a King at breakfast' is a diet mantra I love to live by and so enthusiastically we bundled up Mini Me and went hunting. Though it was before the Sunday morning rush, we couldn't find a spot for us and pram at our first pick. Off to Angove Street in North Perth it was.

There was room at each of cafes on offer, but it was the wafting scents and tasty treats in the food cabinet that made us choose Metrio & Co.

Once again the pram was happy to be nestled between us and another table and we were ready to order.

The breakfast menu is on a blackboard inside, which does you make you feel slightly like a creep as you hover around to read it. And it takes ages to decide with everything sounding so tasty. All the staples are there - eggs, muesli, pancakes - Hubby chose the big breakfast ($20) and I opted for the mushroom bruschetta ($15).

I couldn't wait to dig in!

When my piled high mixed mushroom and goats cheese dish arrived, I couldn't wait for the photo before I dug in. When ordering mushrooms I expect there to be more than the standard button mushrooms I buy, and this did not disappoint. The goats cheese was silky and the toast crunchy. There was a little bowl of homemade tomato relish on the side, which was odd, but delicious.

Hubby was impressed by his full plate of eggs, bacon, tomato, mushrooms, hash brown and homemade tomato relish. He also downed his $3.50 coffee with such enjoyment he ordered another.

The service was smiling, quick and above and beyond, topping up my tea with more hot water.

We were suitably stuffed enough that we needed to go for a stroll and dream of buying in the area.

Another win for my grumbling belly and large pram.
