I decided to head into Dickson to try out Good Brother for brunch. Besides with the locals, it isn’t a very well known cafe. It is kind of hidden around the corner towards the back near Barcode at the Dickson shops.
I love the cute chalkboards that are hung up around the place.
There are a few rolls, panini’s and freshly baked muffins in the display cabinet.
The all day menu is limited but includes the usuals such as muesli, french toast, egg and bacon roll, toasties, fried eggs and more.
My mocha came out quickly – it was nice and smooth with the perfect equal blend of coffee and chocolate. I notice that they use Campos coffee. One of the best mocha’s I’ve had in Canberra.
I ordered the salmon frittata with creme fraiche and toast ($17.90). This took quite a while to come out which was surprising given that it was Friday morning. There were quite a few groups of people walking in to get their morning coffees, but no one else but me was really eating. The frittata was so light and fluffy. It looked quite big but as the waiter said, it was mostly all air. It was slightly overcooked as the bottom of the frittata was dry. The creme fraiche was the perfect accompaniment and you didn’t notice the dryness as much. The toasted sourdough was yum and I spooned bits of frittata onto it before taking a bite.
I’m not sure if the salmon was meant to be overcooked – I think I’d prefer it raw. But the whole dish still tasted pretty good.
I like the fact that it’s a small cafe tucked away behind the scenes. The outdoor tables will be popular as it warms up. Funky artwork inside includes a moose head made out of what looks like cardboard (didn’t get a photo). Service is friendly and they do great coffee.
