β€Œβ€ŒThe Best Thing We Ate ⭐️

Big Don's Smoked Meats

It wasn't hard to to pick the best thing we ate this week. To end the week, we had a couple friends over and inhaled some Big Dons' BBQ. Leftovers were equally as delicious as well. Our last visit to Big Don's Smoked Meats was around this time last year.

What We Ate 🍴

Praline by Maison Saint Honore

Crepe with avocado and lemon
Crepe poulet $23 - chicken, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, avocado, chipotle sauce, lemon wedge & salad

Those with big appetites will be pleased to hear that crepes at Praline are reasonably substantial (as someone who has said big appetite). Especially if you add chorizo to your breakfast crepe.

Crepe breakfast $20 - egg, ham, mozzarella, mushrooms, caramelised onions, spring onions with a side of salad & relish (+$2 for chorizo)

Praline's been on our usual go-to list if we're after crepes or something more.. "traditional" for brunch.
