I made an impromptu brunch appointment with my friends today, and found that City Brunch has to be booked in advance. I searched Shanklin cafe decisively. The restaurant's extensive menu features classic Australian cuisine, as well as options for vegetarians and gluten-free eaters. I didn't order one of their signature dishes - "Baked Eggs Shakshuka" hahaha. But I ordered the following delicacies:
🍄 Portobello Mushroom
Two thick layers of fried mushrooms, with golden and crispy skin, and they burst with juice when you cut them open! Served with poached eggs, spinach and secret sauce, it is rich in layers and tastes crispy and crispy like fried pork chops.
🍨 Nutella Shake
This cup is really too sweet! A must-try if you like sweets! Five balls full of ice cream, rich in Nutella flavor, every bite is a sweet hit, even the children who love ice cream can't finish it, it's really fierce!
🍗 Deluxe Chicken Waffle
This dish is very common in Australian Brunch restaurants, and Shanklin’s is also good. The magical combination of fried chicken + waffles, paired with refreshing vegetables, sweet but not greasy at all, the waffles are crispy, and the fried chicken is super tender, an unexpected perfect combination!
🍔 Other recommendations
I also ordered sandwiches and lamb burgers, both of which were solid and not a surprise, totally worth a try!

Favourite local, great gluten free and vegetarian options. Absolutely loved the eggs Benny and nice coffee too. Friend had the Turkish de-latte that tasted amazing with the more-ish mousse on top 😊 staff are always friendly and attentive the few times I've been there now
