Vagelis, Racecourse Rd, Ascot

The Situation:
Mother and daughter breakfast; were looking for a place with a reputation for being the best. After many google searches and trawling through various eating guides, the reputation was clearly kept by Vagelis in Ascot. Sporting Brisbane's "Biggest Omelet", Vagelis had quite a lot to prove.

Ordered:
Scrambled Eggs on Toast with thin toast, (side) hash browns, bacon & baked beans / Skinny Flat White
The Stack; A stack of thick toast piled high with Avocado, Smoked Salmon, Tomato and 2 poached eggs / Long Black

Total Cost - $56.90

Service: 8 out of 10
Atmosphere: 8 out of 10
Food: 6 out of 10
Value: 5 out of 10
Verdict: 6 out of 10... I was a bit disappointed. The Stack was just one piece of thick toast with some haphazardly arranged avocado, salmon and tomato; but the eggs were perfect. The side of Bacon was charged at $3 per rasher; we had 2 each, so $12 all up. While the service was adequate and the atmosphere was pleasant, this place was really let down by promising the world and only delivering a boring, tasteless replication of that.
