Cliffy's Emporium

Modern Australian

'Eggy bread with honey rose syrup' perfectly sums up Cliffy's, a snug lantern-lit den specialising in old-fashioned fare. Winter-warmer Breakfasts, scrawled on brown-paper bags, include 'poggie' with molasses sugar, topped with green tea-stewed prunes and luscious swirls of Jonesy's cream, alongside classics with a cheeky twist, like two sunny-side-up eggs with tiny Tuki snags and a 'kitchen surprise'. Lunch revolves around local charcuterie (Istra Smallgoods, Fernleigh Organic Farms), pates and terrines (Kyneton's Piper St Food Co) and cheese platters. The deli section is also great for stocking up on picnic fare, including local wines, and pantry essentials.
