Restaurant - Europa - Gauteng, Melrose Arch

19 March 2014 - When I travel, I prefer to try new places, but it was Mark's choice for breakfast and Europa was stone throw from where we were staying.

FOOD: Mark had what looked like a mixed grill, a bit of everything bacon, eggs, mushrooms, beans, sausage, toast, baby potatoes, it looked delicious. I love eggs benedict, sadly Europa's did not crack it. Although the eggs were cooked to perfection (my preference is medium) the rest of the dish was disappointing. The hollandaise was very thick and stodgy and quite bland and there was a lot of it. This was all served on a bagel that was very dry - just too much bread. Maybe if the bagel was toasted it would have been better but I don't think much could rescue that dish.

DRINKS: Mark had two cappaccinos so I deduce the coffee is good. I opted for orange juice, it's Sir Juice, so OK, would have preferred freshly squeezed, but it was fine.

SERVICE: the service was pretty average

VALUE FOR MONEY - Average

RECOMMENDABLE will I go back? I don't think so, there are so many other places to rather go to. Average is not good enough

RATE 4/10
