The Hardware Société

A lovely cafe in the city with really tasty food. The quality and flavour are great, though the portions might feel a bit small for the price for some. Coffee is spot on. The vibe is nice and it’s a good place to relax or catch up with friends. It's a bit out of the way but I'd come back again.

I had a wonderful meal with baked eggs and chorizo. I met Jesse, who is their famous chef. There’s also a book in the restaurant featuring him. He was very nice and I really appreciated the hospitality on a cold rainy February morning.

I rarely give full stars but I do this time. I really liked the eggs with mushroom sauce and pine nuts. Came with bread. And the capuchino with oat milk was excellent. I had to order another after breakfast. The place was pretty. I got to sit by the window with a nice view, and service was good. However I was the first client of the day but can imagine the place gets packed.

I came here with my friend for breakfast and the atmosphere was perfect. Had a more American feel with Parisian style. We had the scrambled eggs and sausage with potatoes and baguette. I also had a flat white which was perfect. The staff were extremely friendly.

There’s a lot of stairs to get here if you are coming by metro, but it is worth it. The guy who is the executive chef is hilarious and so Australian I felt like I was home during brunch! The coffee is good and the scrambled eggs are tasty.
