Jack the Geezer
/Located in leafy Middle Park right opposite Middle Park's tram station, Jack the Geezer pleases with a solid brunch offering alongside great coffee poured by adept baristas.
Grumbling bellies are rewarded at Jack the Geezer with generous portions of hearty food that is simple but simply delicious.
Our top picks include the dish aptly called the "Middle Eastern" which is a stunning amalgamation of traditional falafels, roasted pine nuts, hummus, heirloom tomato, cucumber, olives, sumac dukkha, poached egg encasing dripping yolk finished with a fresh rosemary and basil dressing and served with crusty panini bread.
For meat lovers the Stag Night Reviver is a must. Think panini bread encasing grilled 120g Porterhouse steak layered with onion jam, grilled prosciutto, tomato, cos lettuce, mustardaioli, Swiss cheese and fried egg. This comes with a generous side of crispy chips too.
If you want something healthier then the Convent Grains salad is perfect. A nutrient dense mix of grains and rice, Meredith’s goat feta, herbs, spinach and smashed avocado. It's good for you without compromising on taste.
A part from delicious coffee, these guys make great smoothies too. The Morning Glory is simply divine and is a mouthwatering blend of dates, banana, vanilla, almond Milk and a shot of coffee.
