Ex Lion Tamer - Bendigo

I 've been eating breakfast 'out ' at restaurants and cafes for over 30 years. After that much time, I assumed I had already eaten the best breakfast I would ever eat. I was wrong. Ex Lion Tamer in Bendigo just blew my mind. EVERYTING was brilliant. From the tunes Prince , the friendly but efficient service, the coffee, even the **** Mary made with tomato plasma ! and tea as well as vodka and Spice The food was stunningly good. Local fresh produce given a modern original twist while still being traditional enough to not be jarring. Everything on my plate and there were many things was perfect. I kept expecting something, anything, to be less than ideal. My expectations wre dashed. After eating I was in a kind of shock that something could be so wonderful. You know that I can be very flippant, but this stilled me. Think about that. I feel extremely grateful to have had this experience. I think this is why I have never wanted to die. Everytime you think you have had the best of existance, something amazing just stops you in your tracks. Life is an experience and it is full, so very full. As am I now. xxx

Great coffee! I had the Avocado on toast and my daughter had poached eggs on toast. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked. The avocado on toast was incredibly delicious. Great friendly service that included strict Covid protocols. We appreciated the fact that we had to return to get one of our phones in order to have our Vax Cert checked.

Service, atmosphere, coffee, food…. all perfect! Seriously could not fault anything. Probably the best coffee in Bendigo and the food was just as good. Highly recommended! And so close and convenient to the Bendigo Marketplace.

Bendigo is known for its good food but stumbling across Nude Food Breakfast Bar by chance had me stunned. In terms of interior design the space is clean accompanied by modern, furnishing that have purpose. The choice of colours are perfectly placed to present a vibrant place to eat and socialise. The menu is extensive, providing both solid sweet and savoury options. The group I was with split our options, some having burgs and chips, others picking the sweet waffles. I must admit all boxes where checked off on both presentation and overall taste. Everything on the plate has purpose and the correct texture combination. The waffles in my opinion can always be a hit or a miss. With so many sweet things happening all at once you can easily miss the mark and it can become quite sickly. Nude Food know what they are doing. Striking a perfect balance to highlight all elements Sweet or Savoury. The coffee was heaven. The staff were welcoming, friendly and knew what they were doing. Price point wise. Nude Food Bar is an overall experience. The price reflects this through both quality produce and taste. If you are looking for a $3 burnt flat white. This might not be for you. Great work guys! Can't wait to come back.
