Enrik's, Blackburn by Obelix

A long over due catch up with a former work friend led me to Enrik's next to Blackburn station. Situated overlooking the trail line, it was a convenient meeting point. 

Enrik's is more of a bistro vs a cafe. It's offerings extend from breakfast to dinner. When we rolled up for brunch, it was quiet and I suspect the busy period is yet to commence.

I tucked into breakfast #2 for the morning. I've been trying to minimise bloating by avoiding wheat where possible however it was difficult to single out an item on the Enrik's menu which was gluten free. I eventually settled on sourdough with smashed avo, poached eggs and balsamic tomatoes. It was a bit light on with the avocado but the balsamic tomatoes gave a nice sweet tang to the creamy egg yolk and avo.

D was in the mood for flapjacks with maple syrup and bananas. They were duly fluffy and substantial looking.

We also both settled down with a pot of tea and a couple of lattes. The meal came to $22 between the two of us. Service was prompt and unobtrusive.

Verdict

We liked it.

Overall

Enrik's is fairly stock standard cafe/bistro place that is close to the station and has a decent sized al fresco area.  It is a pretty reasonable drop in type of place for the locals.
