Overview
Celebrating four years of American-inspired diner nosh, Redfern's Eathouse Diner has introduced all-day dining, seven days a week. Previously only open for dinner sittings, the '50s-style eatery has announced three new different menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner — and you can get amongst those ricotta fritters any time of day.
The most exciting endeavour for the Redfern staple is the addition of an 8am - 3pm breakfast menu, meaning Inner West brunch just found itself a new teammate. Eathouse will be brewing up coffee from the Golden Cobra, serving free range eggs the way you like 'em with fresh sourdough toast from Brickfields Bakery. Serious attention needs to be paid to the sides — potato, kumera and bacon hash, Meredith chèvre, smashed broad beans, balsamic glazed mushrooms. Then there's those ricotta fritters with smoky tomato and red pepper sauce, or buttermilk waffles with caramelised banana and raw bush honey. All sounds pretty food coma-inducing.
But they're open all day, so we're staying for a second look at the lunch menu. Running 11am - 5pm you can grab a toasted sambo (check the chalkboard for fillings of the day), fresh salads, those ricotta fritters or a casual Wednesday duck liver and pistachio pate lunch (usually only available for fancy dinners).
Dinnertime at Eathouse is always a rich escapade, they've kept some old polenta-lovin', southern-style spatchcock favourites and added some new kids on the block (changing seasonally, as always). They're open until late every day but Sunday, so there's plenty of time to make your way through the mains to dessert — an unmissable affair at Eathouse.
