TROPIC • FOOD & DRINK

Fresh fare

LOCAL
At Tropic, we like to keep our fingers on the foodie
pulse and it seems confidence in the cuisine
scene remains high, with local hospitality gurus
opening a bunch of venues to whet our appetites
for something new.

Poco Café

It was once The Palms, now Poco has moved into this cute
little Aeroglen address. With a distinct South American
spin, the brunch menu includes slow-cooked beef nachos
with blue and white corn chips served with pumpkin seed
salsa, guacamole, sour cream and jalapenos.
Or perhaps you’d prefer a smoked salmon torta (Mexican
telera toasted roll) or pandanus pancakes. Sweet treats
are also available, such as Portugese tarts and affogato.
GO THERE: 3 Palmerston Street, Aeroglen

Fratelli’s Café
Located at the not-for-profit Brother’s Leagues Club,
2 Fratelli’s Café is open all day but the real speciality is
breakfast, which is served from 7.20am - 11am. Choose
from a range of dishes, including meatball and eggs, a
banana coconut chia bowl, Spanish omelette, or build your
own breaky. If you have a sweet tooth you must try the
Nuttellamisu folded crepes. Other options throughout the
day include salads, pastries, toasties and brioche rolls.
GO THERE: 99-105 Anderson Street, Manunda
