L'etoile Restaurant & Bar
MGS and friend woke late on Saturday, both sporting the kind of headache that only a pair of trendy sunglasses and a bought breakfast in Paddington can fix.
So MGS headed for Paddington's famous Five-Ways (undergoing a bit of footpath renovation at present) which boasts a number of elegant breakfast establishments with plenty of options: from headache-curing fry-ups to less toxic wet mueslies with lashings of yoghurt...
MGS headed for what used to be known as Local but what is now L'etoile following its takeover by new owners 3 months ago.
The courtyard out the back is a top spot to sit, particularly in the rainy weather - the patter patter on the canvas roof reminds MGS of summer camping trips - and there are plenty of gas heaters should anyone feel a chill in the air.
This place is a beaut breakfast option. Plenty of choices, all with a French twist, and all under the $16 mark. MGS ordered rye toast with house smoked salmon, feta cheese and avocado.

It arrived as a neat, generous, pile of excellent salmon atop a tasty, crusty, slice of feta-smothered rye. The avocado on the side - mixed with red shallot, guacamole-style - served as a perfect accompaniment, as did the capers, parsley and lemon slices... a lovely dish. Light, tasty, refreshing.
MGS's companion went for the egg white omelet with mushrooms, thyme, caramelised onion and truffle. Again the serve was generous, the toast thick and crusty, the omelet light and fluffy with a wonderful mushroom flavour contrasting nicely with the sticky caramel of the onions.

Top stuff. Good coffee, unpretentious service (rare in these parts), a relaxing way to ease into the day.
