Verdict? I adore french toast, and I love trying all of the variations on the dish. Common Galaxia's version was indulgent and delicious, with lots of flavour and delightful textures. Due to the super sweet nature of the dish, it's probably not something I'd order for brunch every day, but I'm glad I got to try it! Coffee, juice, service and ambience were excellent as always.

Smoked salmon on sourdough w spicy avocado puree, 2 poached eggs w tomato & herb salsa 18.5

Beetroot, orange, carrot & ginger fresh juice 7

Verdict? A local favourite. This visit proved to be the perfect perk-up brunch when I was feeling a little under the weather - especially the nice whack of ginger in my fresh juice. But the two stray bones I found in my smoked salmon were unexpected and unwelcome guests.
