Lolo and Wren

by - August 12, 2018

Located in a quite neighbourhood, Lolo and Wren serves up comfort food in a cafe setting, with a chilled and relaxed environment, an extensive menu, and large portions.

Pork Jowl $17.50
We were shocked at the size of the pork jowl when it arrived at our table. The panko egg (almost like a scotch egg except there was no meat wrapping) was coated in a layer of thin breadcrumbs, and was perfectly fried with a gooey yolk centre. We were less excited about the pork jowl. We ordered this dish for the egg and didn't expect much for the pork, and our expectations were proven correct. The pork was served lukewarm and the meat was still tough despite being slow cooked. This particular piece we got was also very fatty making most of it unedible, and the coleslaw didn't help cut through the grease as it was rather sweet. 
 Crispy Crocque Monsieur $18
Is this the ultimate cheese sandwich? Originated is France, Crocque Monsieur is a ham and cheese sandwich that's either baked or fried. This humongous sandwich was loaded with cheese and few slices of ham. With additional bread crumbs added on the outside, this sandwich was fried until golden brown, leaving the outside super crunchy and the inside bursting with melty cheese. The bad? This sandwich was no one-man task as it can get pretty heavy in the end with all that cheese (the tomato relish did help a little bit). 

Spanish Omelette $23.50
It was a good move that we got this Spanish omelette, as at this stage we desperately needed some vegetables. The omelette had a crispy edge while the inside was packed with tomato, capsicum, potato, avocado and chorizo. The dollops of sour cream and shaved parmesan cheese provided some creaminess. There was also a bowl of rocket salad on the side too.

Food: 5.5/10
Service: 5/10
Atmosphere: 5/10

Highlight:
  • Large portions
Lowlight:
  • Food was not bad but delivery may improve with a more focused menu
  • Cafe goers expect a good meal to mark a good beginning to the weekend, and if the waitress has a negative attitude this really rubs off on the diners.
