Blackbird Cafe @ Bright, Victoria

My family and I took a trip to Bright having heard many things about this place. Indeed, the place didn't disappoint. The surroundings were so serene, the scenery a beautiful landscape. We stopped at various lookout points to just savour the glorious scenes.

After driving for hours to get to this place (from Melbourne), our tummies were rumbling. We stopped by the city center to grab a bite and we found this place - Blackbird.

Upon walking in, we were greeted by a friendly waitress who proceeded to guide us to the table and sat us down at a corner that allowed us to enjoy the picture perfect display it has to offer.

Absolutely love the 3D art shown above and the lone bicycle depicted below.

For drinks, we had an iced chocolate (extremely sinful), hot lemon water (great for detox) and a cappuccino. The coffee was good (according to my dad who loves coffee). I on the other hand, can't tell between a good cuppa and a bad one.

We ordered the specialty of the day - some sort of lamb pastry (do forgive me as I totally forgot the name of the dish), but trust me, the dish taste better than it sounds/looks.  The pastry was flaky and buttery, accompanied with the minty sour cream and hot salsa on the side, its definitely a WOW-er.

Absolutely love the salad on the side as well, fresh and plenty. Well balanced with seasoning, and coated with just the right amount of olive oil. Delish.

Next up, fluffy pancakes with berry coulis and vanilla ice cream. Giant serves. Great for carb loading and to share among 2 - 3 people. Completely stuffed after finishing it!

Pancakes

Overall, a lovely place to just relax and have a quick simple bite.

Verdict: I won't say it's the best cafe around. Nonetheless, the food was satisfying and definitely worth a try! I couldn't take note of the individual prices this time, but total bill was approximately AUD 37.
