If you’re in need of a brunch fix in Glen Iris, Mr Tucci has you covered. They have a range of dishes to satisfy the health nut in you, the indulgent side and they even have a tasting plate to cater for you when you’re feeling a bit indecisive. Lots of great food and some awesome brunchy beverages too.
Great coffee.
And if you’re a sucker for an iced chocolate the Morka is a goodie. It’s 70% mork dark chocolate mocha with double espresso, vanilla ice-cream and milk. Iced chocolate – adult style.
The rawnola was delicious, the buckwheat granola was full of toasted seeds and nuts, delicious. It had a big scoop of raw vegan mango ice-cream, fresh summer berries and a creamy coconut yoghurt underneath. We paired the rawnola with a smoothie to keep with the healthy theme. It had mango, pear, avocado and banana, topped with cocoa nibs and coconut. Yum.
Then we moved onto the smoked benny which was super indulgent but well balanced. It had a big piece of melt-in-your-mouth smoked pork belly with green chilli salsa verde and pickled radish which complimented each other well. Then there was the poached eggs covered in béarnaise sauce on top of some sourdough toast with crispy pork crackling on the side of course.
The tasting plate is a great idea when you can’t decide what you want because it has a little bit of everything. It had a tasting portion of three of the dishes from the menu. The sriracha maple bacon is heaven and it was served with smashed avo and a poached egg, then we had the feta fritter which had a lovely texture and was served with pumpkin hommus and baby beets. For dessert, the third taster was the waflova which was a sourdough waffle with passionfruit curd, vanilla bean crème diplomat, raspberry gel, roasted peach and meringue.
