*Service: Fast, friendly- ask for James (he’s gorgeous)
He wants breakfast, she wants lunch. Coffee and fried eggs versus Asian and a glass of wine. The hunger pang sets in, the blood sugar levels drop and it’s just another indecisive Sunday. Compromising, you find yourself nestled into the casual vibe of Tom Phat on Sydney Road with smiles all round. Amid the warm wooden interior and cosy surrounds, the exotic aromas of organic roasted coffee, refreshing smoothies and the tantalising tastes of South East Asia will fill your nostrils and bellies.
The time has come to explore the myriad of authentic flavours true to Vietnam, Thailand, South India and…. contemporary Australian? Yes, going 5 years strong, Tom Phat’s non-pretentious and flavoursome menu succeeds at modernising classics while perfecting favourites. Forget the false promises of ‘fusion’ cooking, Tom Phat’s cleverly designed dishes invite you to indulge, enjoy and relax in their no-fuss eatery.
Their signature dish ‘roti omelette with salsa, crispy bacon, shallots and coriander’ is just one of the ways Tom Phat exemplifies the delicious combination of East-meeting-West, so try something else on offer!
