Lumiere Cafe

Sydneysider again! Since it's my ACTUAL birthday today, My boyfriend thought it would be appropriate to celebrate my coming of age with a cute brunch anywhere I wanted. We'd been craving french toast ever since we had it at his sisters cafe about a year ago, so I decided to research the best french toasts in Sydney (I was bored and didn't really have anything else to do, okay.) Anyways I stubbled across this cute blog I thought I should share... Serendipity-chai.blogspot.com.au 

We didn't end up going to any place on the blog but went to Lumiere Cafe- 425 Bourke St, Surry Hills instead. The cafe had a nice, modern and open feel to it compared to all the other quirky, old-school cafes that make up the Surry Hills culture.

Although a pretty cafe, it makes a lousy french toast. Don't let this picture fool you, it was rather dry and the mascarpone cream was more like a thick, tasteless sour cream. Trust me and don't go anywhere else but Cafe Berlin in Balmain for french toast. It's so good!

Oh and did I mention that my amazing boyfriend got me my first ever Chanel item....

and yes I died a little inside when I woke up.
