The other day I had a great lunch session with my gorgeous friend, Lucy.  The goal was to catch up and take a bit of a breather from her hectic final bit of organising for her upcoming wedding.

As I know that weddings can be crazy stressful, I chose Birds Boutique Cafe in Bree St for the occasion as it just always looked so serene from the outside…  (and OK I was totally suckered by the hearts on the outer wall & the thought of cute birdies everywhere)

You’ll find Birds Boutique right next to Clarke’s and across the road from &Union.  It is a seriously pretty spot with lots of natural food furnishings and clever recycled decor elements:

My absolute favourite detail was the soft pink swan salt & pepper set which was just too cute for words:

It’s actually from the Milnerton market – something which I’ve always turned my nose up to.  But now I might just go check it out…

To drink I opted for some freshly squeezed pineapple juice (R18), served with love.  Aaaaaah.

And to eat, Lucy had a grilled chicken sandwich with nice chunky chips (R45):

And I had the quiche of the day with a fresh side salad (also R45):

Deceptively simple meals, but packed with flavour.  My quiche was truly one of the best I’ve had in a very long time and Lucy was very happy with her tasty sandwich as well.   Price wise I would say it’s pretty good for inner city cafe dining and the service was also friendly & easy.

My Miss K Kiss-o-Meter rating for Birds Boutique would be:

They are open Mon to Fri from 7am to 6pm and Sat from 8am to 2pm serving hearty breakfasts and lunches.  I’m planning on going back to try their chocolate & cherry scones which someone only told me about afterwards.  Apparently they are insane, so can’t miss out on that one.
