Crux - SEMAPHORE

Almost everything we’ve had at Crux has been tasty, with exception to sometimes overcooked soggy food (popcorn Chick’n, 2 different dinner burgers fries I’m talking about here) when getting takeaway on 3 occasions. Dining in have not ever had that experience. Personally I preferred when they did the non GF options, but they do do GF very well. The venue is small sometimes you have to wait but it is worth it as a treat. The mains are expensive but you can see love put into the food. However, there is a surcharge every weekend. Understandable when they say they pay their staff well, but the portion sizes of the sides has been so disappointing and inconsistent most occasions, it makes me feel that well what about your customers getting 10% extra of the cheaper items to make being consistent with it. As tasty as it was, 2 pieces of rice paper Bakon for $5 then add 10% on a weekend?! Considering I make this all the time, it would have to be a 300-400% from the cost of making it, to the mark up for them to make. Hoping at least with the new bakon they make on site will be at least worth the cost. The staff are lovely make a good cuppa/ smoothie. Pretty sure they are only taking card now. Not overly wheelchair friendly as tables chairs are tight-knit, tho they have a table outside on a nice day that could be sat at. Only 1 toilet is available can be accessed, with some manoeuvring of tables and chairs. Definitely worth going as a treat as it’s easy to spend well over $100 for 3 people for brunch!

This restaurant offers unique dishes made with their own mock meat, such as speck, huh, and ei, that can't be found anywhere else. It's not a health cafe, but a place to enjoy delicious food. The portions are large but come at a price - expect to spend around $75 for two people. Despite the cost, the food is delicious and worth a visit to Crux. If it were more affordable, I would definitely be a regular customer.

I was in the opposite and wanted something nice for my birthday brunch, ordered the blt with fries that was huge, tasty and extremely satisfying. highly recommended.

Excellent food and service. Cosy atmosphere, great coffee.

This interesting brunch cafe was worth the trip out to Semaphore from the city. The space was modern, the staff super friendly and accommodating and the food delicious and clever. The Benny had the most convincing vegan egg I’ve experienced and the bacon was high quality too. The tofu scramble 22), while undeniably tasty, was almost a bit too dense in texture and intense in flavour for me at that time of the morning. Portion sizes were huge and it took us a while to get through it all, but the prices matched. At $27 the Benny can only be called f*cking expensive, and if you added the hash browns you could have yourself a $30 breakfast. A very special treat.
