When you spy hipster cafe white tiled walls and lacquered ply wood in the country you assume the cafe takes cues from Brunswick. You hope the cafe takes breakfast ideas and roasted beans from those urban outposts too.
Not too sadly, Gypsy Hideout completely misses the mark with its coffee. It is a shame as if they served up more than mildly flavoured dish water the place would be fantastic. They redeem themselves by placing Robert Welch cutlery on every table. They're clever enough to give each customer a steak knife to tame the delicious sourdough.
Their chef patiently assembles an array of enticing breakfasts. Many dishes arriving to other tables were real head turners but our choice of poached eggs on sourdough, rocket and fried prosciutto, finished off with basil mayonaisse was quite extraordinary.
The dish alone is almost reason enough to visit the beatiful historic riverside town of echuca.
