Looking to escape 2017 and head back in time? Well Gertude and Petunias can do that for you, with their retro English/Parisian themed café with large chandeliers, mirrors and artwork on the walls and big English teacups it makes you almost think you are in living in one of Jane Austin books. Coupled with classical music all that's missing is snow outside and you would think you were in a movie.
The service is very personal due to the size of the premises. Seating only up to 10-15 inside and another 5-10 outside, there is only need for 2 people to serve. When ordering, the prices are very competitive and the portions are more than generous . We grabbed the parmesan and truffle eggs and the bacon and banana French toast, both devoured in minutes. The café has a limited range but what they do offer they excel at and has become a local hero for the residents of Kensington.

The first thing you notice about this rather delightful old charm cafe is the look about it, setup to look like a traditional high tea establishment.
The Service was personal and great with attention to detail upon my visit. The food was good and was pleasing to say the least, big positions always please
Gertrude and Petunias is in a good location on Todman avenue, easy to spot and get a carpark out the front. It feels like a French/Parisian antique cafe with cute chairs and trinkets. Selling pastries, coffees, toasted sandwiches, quiches and pies (some pretty interesting options like pulled pork). You can also order eggs etc to eat in. I got a chai latte which was really nice and a berry cake. Easy breakfast and the lady was really nice and provided quick service.
