Kazbah, Balmain

On Sunday, we went to Kazbah for lunch, a suprise lunch for Vikrant and Megha before they are going to India for their marriage :) Megha's suprised face is priceless :) It was such a busy day ... although we have booked; they couldn't give the table to us on time because people still sat. I went here before with my other friends and ordered non-vegetarian baquet; there were so much food. We couldn't finish all. 

Everybody likes the food and because most of them are vegetarian; we ordered vegetarian baquet. This time, they run out most of the food; the amount of the food were not as many as when last time I came. The entree and dessert are same when you order vegetarian or non-vegetarian baquet; only the main menu are different. I still prefer my lamb tagine but the vegetarian tagine is not bad either.

Adriano Zumbo's Pâtisserie, Balmain

After finished having brunch at Café Chocolat; we went to Adriano Zumbo's Pâtisserie. Cakes looked so beautiful!!!! I wish I could stay there to take the pictures one by one. Apparently, they have different cakes everyday and sometimes there are "limited-edition" cakes. The cakes are slightly expensive compared to other Pâtisserie though. If I am not wrong ... one slice of cake is around $8-$20?

Adriano Zumbo’s Café Chocolat, Balmain

Finally I went to Adriano Zumbo’s Café Chocolat, after reading so many article about him and looking all those drooling cakes photos. There are always queue either at patiserrie or cafe. I was lucky enough to get seats straight away (there were 5 of us). I felt so excited looking at the menu and was confused which one I should order. 


When the food came; the presentation was very beautiful but the taste was average. My friends couldn't even finish their food (probably too sweet). I will still come back to this place though because it's one of the best place to take food pictures. 


PS: just checked the website recently, they have changed the whole menu. It's time to go there again :) -26 June 2010

Kazbah, Balmain

First time I tried the banquet menu in Kazbah, as always, the food were really good. There were so much food ... everybody was enjoying it but in the same time was struggling to finish all. You can only order baquet menu when you are 8 people or more. Always remember to make a reservation before you come to Kazbah because it's always busy especially on the weekend. There is a trick though, come after 2pm, maybe you can get seats straight away.

Kazbah, Balmain

Kazbah is one of my favourite place for brunch. The food is delicious ... the staff are friendly but sometimes could be allright when the place is getting very busy. The place is always crowded on the weekend. Make sure you make a booking before you come. Or come between 2 - 3pm when they are going to close for breakfast (yes, breakfast between 8am-3pm); usually there are a lot of empty seats. I always order Breakfast Tagine whenever I come there, beautiful food. Maybe the best Morrocan food I ever tried so far.
