Burnt Orange

It was an absolutely glorious day to have lunch at a scenic cafe such as Burnt Orange. It is a cafe located on Middle Head Road in Mosman. This summer has been quite strange weather wise. It hasn't felt like the hot summer that us Sydney siders are used to. But today, summer stayed true to form.

I met up with 2 other friends whom I had not seen for 1 1/2 years so I was looking forward to seeing them again. It was so nice to catch up with them after all this time. ER and SZ are some of the ladies that I met when I went to Vietnam more than 2 years ago. We have been trying to stay in touch since then. Lovely ladies to know!

Burnt Orange is located in a historic cottage (formerly the golf clubhouse for the Mosman Golf Club) and has a rather cool store next to the cafe. We had a great view of the water out towards Obelisk Bay. There were so many people at the cafe and my friends were very happy with the suggestion I made to come here for lunch.

Our lunch menu was:

Superfood Salad of broccoli florets, asparagus, sugar snaps, quinoa, feta, spinach leaves, blueberries and toasted seeds with a Champagne dressing. SZ ordered this for her main dish. It looks nice and healthy. She enjoyed it.

Salad of seared kingfish with sesame seeds, sugar snaps and edamame beans served with pickled ginger and a yuzu dressing. ER ordered this and she enjoyed it too. It did look delicious.

Burnt Orange fish pie with a selection of fresh fish fillets in a creamy leek & white wine sauce topped with fluffy potato mash and a side of green leaves. I, of course, ordered the least healthy dish of the three of us. The potato mash was light and fluffy and the fish was cooked in a lovely creamy sauce.

For dessert, we had a Cleansing Tipple (Campari and grapefruit/Gin and tonic sorbets), Passionfruit tart with vanilla cream and passionfruit caramel and Moroccan orange and almond cake with sugared almonds and citrus syrup. We decided to share all the dessert among us so we could have a taste of the dishes.

We then browsed the retail shop. There were some funky clothes on sale and SZ bought a shrug for a 'song'.

I really like the ambience of the cafe. It is located in the beautiful surrounds of Middle Head. What more would you need but have a nice and relaxing lunch with friends and a gorgeous view. This is the life!
