Piccolo's Corner

If you happen to be following us on instagram, you would know that we ADORE Piccolo's Corner. Situated in West Leederville's housing estate, the cafe was actually the owner's grandmother's house. 
 




Revamped and redecorated, with both an inside and outside courtyard, Piccolo's Corner is a lovely place to unwind and enjoy a warm, robust, home-cooked breakfast. 



Smashed pumpkin, Danish feta, wilted spinach with added bacon on toasted ciabatta with pesto and poached egg. 
Words do not describe our flavorful and delicious this dish is. Every single time that i have visited this joint, i HAVE to order this. I am a massive fan of Piccolo's Corner's intensely fragrant homemade pasta. I love how cleverly the natural sweetness of the pumpkin is offset by the salty bacon and feta. Every bite is a party in my mouth. That's my type of a wake me up.

 
  
Smashed pea and avocado with smoked salmon on toasted ciabatta, topped with balsamic glaze, lime and poached egg. 
I LOVE AVOCADO. There was no chance in the world that i would not order this dish. I loved how the lime and the balsamic glaze cut through the smashed pea and avocado. I couldnt really taste the smokiness of the salmon though, which was the only con in the dish. But how gorgeous does it look?



Berry Polenta cake, served with a dollop of cream and iced coffee.
This was my first time trying polenta cake, and i love it. Apparently a family recipe, i am dying to get my hands on this recipe. I had expected polenta cake to be a bit more crumbly and dry, but this cake was incredibly moist and lovely. I feel like Piccolo's Corner has got food flavor balance down to a fine art, with the tangy berry layer and the cream. 


Another thing i am completely fascinated with is how mismatched Piccolo's Corner is. From the decoration, to the chairs and tables, to the very plates you eat on. Its like a treasure chest. Unfortunately, i dont have any pictures of the lovely courtyard, but do visit for yourself. It will be a feast for both the eyes and the belly.
