Brisbane Devoured: Lady Marmalade

February 24, 2011

Lady Marmalade

Lady Marmalade on Urbanspoon

I haven’t been to Stones Corner in absolutely years. It used to be the place to go for cheap discounted clothes stores however these have been on the way out for a long while, so I was interested to know what was left behind? Apparently not much, it all looks very rundown and shabby, however there are still a few interesting finds, particularly a clothes shop called Miss Savage (I purchased a dress) and the cafe Lady Marmalade. 

Lady Marmalade is actually run by a certain two My Kitchen Rules contestants, both of whom were there when we went for lunch. It is located in a weirdly shaped corner shop, which doesn’t leave much room for a large number of tables (they are all located outside in the street), nor a “proper” kitchen. The decor is totally cool, with random oddities such as a peacock perched up near the ceiling, mismatched tables and chairs and exposed brickwork. 


They have a large range of sandwiches and yummy cakes and slices in a display cabinet, or you can order from their all day menu, which is what we did. 

L ordered a Wagyu beef burger with chilli jam, caramelised onion, melted gruyere and rocket for $11.50. Unfortunately they had no burger buns left, so they asked him if he wouldn’t mind having it on sourdough bread. He also ordered a latte. 

The “burger” was really delicious, and the chilli jam was the best bit in my opinion. Mr Coffee Snob really liked the blend they use, which I found out later is ordered to their specifications from Melbourne. 


I ordered the Haloumi, roasted pumpkin, chilli and mint pesto, tomato and spinach on sourdough ($10.50). I was superhappy to be presented with a massive chunk of haloumi, my favourite cheese. The whole thing worked very well together, although didn’t get much chilli out of the pesto. My drink was a Daylesford and Hepburn sparkling pink grapefruit mineral water, something which I’ve not seen in any Brissy cafes (maybe I just don’t get to many cafes though). 


I really wanted to order a slice or cake afterwards, however the fact that we had a heap of freshly baked cupcakes at home stopped me. So we will definitely return to sample some of these in future! I really liked the food and the whole atmosphere at the cafe. Hopefully more places like this will bring new life to Stones Corner. 

Love,
C
