Moving to Sydney has influenced me to become a bit creative with how I eat and enjoy my food. This place is a foodie’s haven as this city is composed of different cultures from all over the world. Everywhere you go, you’ll see cafes and restaurants specializing in a cuisine of your liking.
It was not intentional but I’ve been having some interesting meals depending on whom I eat with or what the occasion is. I sometimes have Pastry Lunches and Pub Grub Lunches with workmates. Last year, I gifted the Husband with a Pastry Brekky for his birthday. When my Mum was here, I introduced her to a Dessert Dinner.
My latest favourite lunch adventure is having Pastry Lunch with my workmate. She’s a foodie like me and we enjoy having foodie conversations all the time.
We’re lucky that our workplace is surrounded by several cafes and restaurants–and good ones at that. One day, we decided to have a Pastry Lunch at Cafe Bariloche which is known for their best-tasting Meat Pies and Empanadas.
Cafe Bariloche is a pastry shop in Glebe and they only sell nothing but savoury and sweet pastries, plus coffee. I like the exclusivity that “just pastries” entail, there’s something sacred about that. Their shop is small but regulars like us always get a table.
Everytime I eat there, I always get a savioury pastry for my main meal and a sweet pastry for my dessert partnered with a hot cup of coffee.
Their bestseller is their huge Empanada and it is what I always order for my main meal.
The pastry baked to perfection, the innards of minced beef is always juicy and mildly spicy. What makes it more of a winner is that it has boiled eggs and olives. Really yummy!
For dessert, I love their Custard Pie. It’s creamy, smooth and at the same time, I taste a tinge of lemon. It’s refreshingly sweet but not cloying.
Yesterday, we went out to have Pastry Lunch again but they’ve ran out of the Custard Pie (*gasp* *sad face*)
I chose to have the Apple Danish instead and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Their Apple Danish is exceptionally beautiful as it was abundant with apples.
Cafe Bariloche also makes the best meat pies in Sydney and a few other sweet pastries. If you’re in Glebe, drop by for a cup of coffee or buy some treats for take-away.
