Three Blue Ducks - Bronte

We ordered the Vegetarian Feast box this weekend and it was fantastic the closest you can get to eating at a nice restaurant during lockdown. The instructions were easy to follow and all dishes reheated perfectly. You can tell that the Ducks put a lot of thought into the menu, the preparation and packaging of the components. The sweet potato curry was probably our favourite dish, but it was close they were all delicious! Thanks, Ducks!

Visited here on Saturday evening. From start to finish, service was fantastic, nice and relaxed but whilst still attentive. Food was excellent, very well cooked and portion sizes were ideal. We sat in the room with the kitchen and was great to see the lads working away, whilst being able to see and smell all the dishes being cooked for the other tables Will definitely be visiting again to sample more of the menu!

The service that day was lovely. The mains and drinks we ordered (corn fritters and mango Bircher; flat white and a chai) were impeccable. But the real star is the home made Vegemite. How did they improve Vegemite? I don’t know. But days later, half way around the world, I’m still thinking about it.

Three Blue Ducks originated in Bronte in 2010, and now has a number of stores including Rosebery, Byron Bay, Brisbane and Melbourne. We visited the local Bronte store. Their food philosophy is to use organic, ethical and sustainable products to minimise waste. The food is high quality and whilst the prices may be a bit higher than your normal brunch we do think it’s worth it for the quality and taste. The menu features and all day breakfast, lunch menu from 11am and dinner on Friday and Saturdays. The full menu can also be ordered as takeaway. We ordered the lovely gf did v dish, beautifully presented with a tasty piece of Harissa glazed pumpkin sitting on some turmeric cashew cream and topped with red cabbage kraut, mixed leaves and a bird seed mix. A super tasty dish and if you’re hungry, we’d advise grabbing the fritters on the side. From the lunch menu, we also ordered a Comforting bowl of soup for winter a thin liquid consistency of bright beetroot soup with nicely spiced with shredded beetroot, beetroot leaves on top, sour cream. The crisp bacon was a good touch, added to the flavour of the soup. Served with a garlic buttered slice of toast, this made it even better. We really enjoyed the coffee here. For the whites they use single O killer bee blend and rotating single origins for the black. In addition they also do a batch brew and cold brew. If you’re not a coffee fan, there’s also hot chocolate, tea, kombucha, fresh juices and smoothies. They also have alcoholic drinks; wine, beer, cider and even some cocktails. There is currently and online store and pop up produce shop in store selling essentials and also muesli, jams, beers, wines, and meats in the fridge. If you’d like, the cafe also does some take home meals.

I discovered Three Blue Ducks online about two years ago and had been dying to try it the next time I visited NSW. We finally made it and it was totally worth it! They have a great selection of drinks, including single origin coffee, and tonnes of amazing food options. I had the black sausage and my husband had the corn fritters both of which were amazing! It's on a busy street so wonderful for people watching if you sit out front. There is a small garden in the back with hens and honeybees. It's also in close proximity to the beach so you can walk off your food after on the Bronte to Bondi coastal walk! I can't wait to go back!!!
