Sauvannah's Cafe

Sauvannah's Cafe is undoubtedly a local staple in Albany when it comes to breakfast and lunch. And little wonder - they've made their name through uncomplicated, hearty plates that everyone can get behind.

What's more, they're embodying that relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes Kiwi cafes so special. The bright dining room is warm with a rustic edge. And if diners aren't chatting away to the friendly staff, they're getting their munch on at any of the tables around or outside on their picturesque patio.

Like we said, unpretentious food is their forte, so get stuck into generous brekkie plates that pile on the poached eggs, smoked salmon, beans and pork sausages. From the big breakfast to eggs on toast and stuffed omelettes, they have everything you need to get you comfortably through to lunchtime.

Speaking of lunchtime, the theme continues with a mighty dry-aged steak burger paired with a thick spread of cream cheese and spinach whilst chicken breast also finds a home in between brioche buns with caramelised onions, mushrooms and beetroot. Light bites can also be found here in the form of a spritely salmon salad and toasted panini with pulled chicken. Equipped with a kids' menu too, come and see why the locals are crazy for this homey spot.
