Although we bang on about our love of baked goods (and anything else that starts with 'F' and ends in 'ood'), you will be surprised to know that we can, at times be rather conscious of the food we put into our bodies. So when we discovered the 'Kombi Cafe' inside Dunsborough's Yoga Centre 'Samudra', we were delighted to end our weekend of over indulgence sipping on a green smoothie and chatting about hugging trees.
Samudra is located in the heart of Dunsborough, nestled amongst native trees and one truly inspiring veggie patch. It's one of those places where you instantly feel healthy just stepping inside. Inside you will find a gorgeous Eco Store full of cookbooks, yoga equipment and clothing as well as two yoga studios. They also run health retreats both in Dunsborough and in Bali (good excuse for a holiday I feel!). I am yet to try out the classes, but will be back down in a few weeks so will keep you posted!
Their Philosophy:
"Samudra’s philosophy is one of integral nourishment. Our goal is to provide you with the finest seasonal organic ingredients nature has to offer. The star in our Living Cuisine is the produce itself - prepared with love, passion and attention to detail.is to deliver the best seasonal food nature has to offer, celebrating natural flavours, textures and colours."
Once we sat down at our tree trunk table, we made ourselves comfortable and got ready to order our coffees while we pondered over the breakfast menu. At first, I found the wait staff rather intimidating. It is clear they know what they're talking about, but at times can seem almost patronising; what ever you do, don't ask for skim milk!
On to the breakfast menu... It's all well and good for something to be good for you, but if it doesn't taste good are we really going to suffer through it? So my first choice was the Breakfast Burrito. It consisted of organic re-fried black beans, avocado, leaves, tomato salsa and came wrapped in mountain bread. I am thrilled to say it was AMAZING. So amazing, that I had to stop myself from ordering it again on my second visit.
Also delivered to our table were the Buckwheat Pancakes (with seasonal fruit, honey and lemon syrup) and the Live Muesli. I've been told the pancakes were yummy, but a bit too dry and the Live Muesli was utterly delicious!
On my second visit to the Kombi Cafe at Samudra, I ordered the Scrambled Tofu. Scrambled with pumpkin and served with soy balsamic mushrooms on sourdough, it was to die for!
We also tried out some of their juices and smoothies. The Banana Dharma was so very yummy, The Green Smoothie is perfect if you're a little under the weather but steer clear of the ABC if you're an amateur juice drinker.
All in all, the Kombi Cafe is certainly somewhere I will visit each time I'm in Dunsborough. The food is great and the service is great (once you realise that they don't do skim milk "darling"). The Kombi Cafe is open for lunch and dinner and they also do live music on Friday nights! However, my biggest piece of advice to you all is to drop the boys at the bakery before you go. Although we all know they wouldn't even realise the lack of meat in their dish, apparently a pie is a more 'manly' breakfast.
Address: 226 Naturaliste Tce, Dunsborough.
