The Fig Tree at Eumundi is a beautiful place to have breakfast before heading into the markets. We went here on a Wednesday morning during school holidays and decided to have breakfast here.
I had the Full Breakfast which included Bacon, Sausage, Hash Brown, Tomato, Baked Beans and Mushroom with Toast and 2 eggs any way (I had fried). Sharon had the Eggs Benedict (she had been hanging for it for a while) with Smoked Salmon. Both meals were delicious!!! I asked for some Tomato Sauce and they brought out a Tomato Relish that was to die for ... there were tastes of Cumin, Mustard Seeds, Capsicum and Tomato in the relish ... OMG ... it was awesome!!!
The coffee is good as well and if you go into the deli they will get you a tub of the Tomato Relish for $5.50 for the small tub and $9.50 for a big tub. We got the big tub and brought it back to Melbourne with us and have used it as Pizza Sauce and as a relish as well. I offered extra to get the recipe but it was not forthcoming =)
I would highly recommend The Fig Tree ... get a feed into you before you tackle the markets.
Approximate cost: $21
Situated in the heart of Eumundi village and within the famous Eumundi markets, this restaurant is great for a meal or just a coffee and cake from their coffee bar. Expect it to be busy on market days, Wed. & Sat. but quiet on other days. Meals are well priced and the staff are always friendly.
