I was lucky enough to sample Camberwell's, The Unexpected Duck, new menu this weekend just gone and was blown away by the generous serving sizes and array of different items on the menu. I went with a big group of foodies and we were able to try a little bit of everything - so yummy!
After starting with coffees and freak shakes (strawberry donut & chocolate with peanut butter), we all ordered a dish each - the french toast, the hotdog, the burger, the mushroom brekky, the quinoa salad, the duck Benedict and the smashed avo.
I had the Club Sandwich and I could not recommend it highly enough! It was absolutely chockas full of fillings - grilled chicken, bacon, egg, tomato, lettuce & mayonnaise. It came served with a side of potato crisps instead of fries, which I initially questioned, but was glad to snack on after eating such a huge sandwich.
The french toast had a great flavour, but lacked presentation. We also ate it after everything else and it had gone a bit soggy. The hotdog received great reviews, but that the bun was very crunchy. The quinoa salads and burgers were all demolished. I tried a bit of the duck Benny, and liked the flavours, but it was very rich and I don't think I could have eaten the whole dish.
The Unexpected Duck is a small cafe with super friendly staff and delicious food and coffee. I would recommend visiting before more people find out about them. If you do visit, take an old book with you, because they have a cute little "read and swap" book nook in the back corner. They also have old-school games, such as knots & crossed and jenga on the tables - enjoy!
Thanks for a wonderful lunch, team :)
