Smoked Paprika

Named after Hungary's favourite spice, Rosalie’s slick all-day breakfast cafe Smoked Paprika features a delectable Hungarian-flavoured menu with a creative contemporary twist. 

With few Hungarian restaurants in Brisbane, Smoked Paprika, which for years operated out of Bardon, affords customers the opportunity to taste unique, traditional dishes. Using only high quality ingredients, fresh produce and free range eggs, everything is prepared onsite, with the menu changing seasonally. 

Must try is the signature Smoked Paprika breakfast - Hungarian beef goulash with poached eggs, Hollandaise, rocket, cherry truss tomatoes and golden grilled haloumi.  Also recommended are zucchini fritters, served with smoked salmon, avocado, sweet potato puree and crisps, poached eggs and wasabi hollandaise or crepes filled with chicken paprikash (pan-fried chorizo, mushroom, capsicum, spinach, poached eggs, smoked paprika hollandaise, sweet potato puree, goats cheese).

Other delectable options include Shakshuka (Israeli baked eggs in a rich tomato and capsicum sauce with chickpeas, house spice mix, fetta, grilled halloumi, sourdough); chilli crab folded eggs (with croissant, pea puree, avocado, whipped fetta, bacon and pistachio crumb & burnt chili butter) or, for something sweet, blueberry ricotta pancakes, with fresh berries, maple syrup, poached figs, chocolate sauce, cookies and cream ice cream, chocolate biscuit crumbs, fairy floss & whipped cream.

Lunchtime is just as good at Smoked Paprika, with a choice of Hungarian beef goulash or burgers such as the Smoked Paprika burger, chicken schnitzel, slow cooked brisket, vegetarian or BLT. There's also Austrian pork schnitzel and traditional Hungarian stuffed cabbage rolls.

Although the servings here are very generous, try to leave room for one of the desserts - Austrian Sacher Torte, Nutella or raspberry cheesecake or banoffee pie.
