We purchased the spreets voucher $29 for a breakfast for two and shocked (but not surprised) that so many people also brought this voucher. I booked the morning straight after the release of the deal and managed to secure a saturday morning breakfast reservation.
Dank St Depot is situated across the road from The French House (which i promised myself i will visit one day!) in Waterloo in an unflattering grey warehouse. As soon as you enter however, it is anything but dull. Light streaming from outside illuminated a rectangular room lined with wooden furniture bustling with patrons. With the kitchen at one end and the bar at the other, we were seated near the front door to witness all the breakfast goers pour in.
The $29 deal included coffee/tea, entree of roasted pears and any two egg dishes from the menu.

The pears arrived and looked more like roasted potatoes with fetta, but was in fact roasted pears with labneh (a soft cheese made form yoghurt) drizzled with honey and sprinkled with walnuts. The pears were amazingly soft and sweet with honey. The labneh was much needed to cut through the sweetness and married beautifully with crunchy walnuts to finish it off.

I was a bit disappointed with the coffee though. My mocha was overly bitter even with chocolate, so i'd hate to have ordered a latte.

We had a choice of any egg dishes on the menu. All the eggs are made with Cornucopia Farm’s biodynamic eggs from the Hunter Valley hence i was eager to quickly order and dig my fork into some gooey egg.
What caught my eye was the creamed eggs with truffle. Thinking about the bottle of truffle olive oil i purchased from Hunter Valley last time, i had to try it out and see if it was any good (so i can replicate it at home!).
The eggs were creamy and slightly runny which i didnt mind. Probably due to the copious amounts of cream and butter in it! The gigantic mushroom was nicely roasted -dry around the edges but with juicy centres. The sourdough was good albeit a little tough, maybe a bit more butter required?! haha.
