Been here a few times
Enjoyed the breakfast. I didn't see the big breakfast but I ordered individual items to make a big breakfast
Tagliatelle was delicious. Wish there was more on the plate
Coffee never disappoints
Great vibes. Great location.
Had cappuccino coffee along wild mishroom pancetta, both dishes were good and well prepared.
Good place for brunch :)
169 Darlinghurst is just a stone's throw away from the famous Coca Cola sign in Kings Cross. Despite the convenient location, this corner lot has experienced plenty of churn in recent years (Awkward Bar, Good Will Society) but hopefully 169D will be able to break the streak and flourish. Brunch was a laid back affair with a mix of healthy and decadent menu options. The brown rice bowl came with asparagus, a beautifully wobbly 63 degree egg and a smear of miso(?) paste. My friend added a side of juicy grilled mushrooms and really enjoyed the dish. The kale salad was generous tumble of kale, thin slices of pear and kipfler potatoes. This was another winner. I ordered the pork loin sandwich which arrived with paper thin slices of pork, rocket, fried shallots and a sweet (fig?) jam. While the whole flavour combination was good, I would've ordered something else had I known the meat would be scarce. Last dish for the table was the brioche French toast. A heavy drizzle of honey and mound of Tonka bean cream definitely shoved this squarely in the Bressert category. I wasn't enamoured with the Pablo & Rusty beans but it was decent enough. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu which looked delicious when they were being brought out to other diners.
