Dandy Lane is located in the Hobart CBD. It is tucked away from the main CBD foot-traffic, and quite unassuming. Great clean, calm atmosphere once you walk in, and friendly staff. I loved firstly that they used Bonsoy soy milk and Milklab almond milk. The coffee is decent.

Dandy Lane’s menu can be found here. 

We ordered the:

• Zucchini, Fetta & Mint Fritters with grilled haloumi, poached eggs, pickled cucumber, harissa labna, soft herbs
• Herb & Parmesan Rosti with spinach, poached egg, hollandaise, avocado & haloumi

I asked for hollandaise on the side, as I’m not a great fan of hollandaise sauce in general. Both were exceptionally yummy, well-cooked and well balanced dishes. The zucchini, fetta and mint fritters had a middle eastern influence and were delicious. The herb and parmesan rosti was more like a well cooked mash mix inside rather than the grated potato kind of rosti, but still delicious. Dandy Lane is well worth a repeat visit.

I would highly recommend going here for brunch.
