Six Degrees Licensed Cafe & Restaurant

Here at Bris­bane Bites, we needn’t nec­es­sar­ily an excuse to go out for break­fast! So, this week­end, the team headed to Six Degrees cafe in the sub­urb if Indooroop­illy (about 6km west if the Bris­bane CBD).

Hav­ing grown up in the area, I per­son­ally con­sider Six Degrees to be a bit of a gem — those of us who are West-siders would most likely agree that the diver­sity and choice to food in our neck of the woods is some­times lacking.

Luck­ily, Six Degrees is a fine estab­lish­ment open from lunch to din­ner 7 days. The own­ers are of Asian descent, and thus the style of food has a dis­tinct fusion feel — par­tic­u­larly more so for the lunch and din­ner items. It seems that roast duck fea­tures hap­pily in many menu items (and we look for­ward to return­ing to try these dishes).

Ambiance-wise, the venue is sur­pris­ingly very relax­ing despite being next to a mod­er­ately busy road. We chose a spot on the deck which is nicely ele­vated from the walk­way below and pro­vides an enjoy­able van­tage point for peo­ple watch­ing. The ele­va­tion also affords a gen­tle breeze.

The dec­o­ra­tions are at times an odd mix­tures of tex­tures and moods, but I sup­pose this is what makes this place a true gem — it’s unique.

In terms if the break­fast menu, it is pretty stan­dard to be hon­est. There are of course eggs done in sev­eral dif­fer­ent styles, the big break­fast option, French toast, muesli etc. the dishes that stood out were their “rice pan­cake” and “coconut pan­cake” items. But feel­ing hardly inclined for a sweet break­fast on this par­tic­u­lar morn­ing, the team set­tled for some of the savoury clas­sics (listed below in next section).

What we had

Freshly squeezed orange juice & Frozen Chai Smoothie

The OJ was pretty stan­dard and con­tained some deli­cious pulp pieces. The frozen chai smoothie sounded unique off the menu. It was okay, how­ever we would have liked it to be a bit stronger. It was refresh­ing though.

Eggs royale ($16.90)
Poached eggs, lots of smoked salmon, hol­landaise sauce, wilted spinach and sour dough bread.

There was plenty of salmon on the plate. The dish was pre­sented well and the hol­landaise was creamy yet still main­tained a decent amount of tang.

The Six Degrees Break
Three eggs scram­bled, with toast, cheesy-tomato, smoked salmon, capers, freshly sliced red onion and herbed pork chipo­latas ($19.90)

The size of the meal was very gen­er­ous and even a big eater such of myself strug­gled to get through it all! The meal was clean and crisp tast­ing and did not leave a feel­ing of greasi­ness or heav­i­ness after the meal. The chipo­latas were not too oily and the com­bi­na­tion of the dif­fer­ent items worked well together

Our Thoughts

Six Degrees is a great restaurant/cafe in “the burbs”. Although we have only reviewed the break­fast on this par­tic­u­lar instance, we have been here sev­eral times for lunch and found the meals to be equally of fine qual­ity (and excep­tional cre­ativ­ity in menu items). We would like to return to try some of the duck based menu items such as the duck burger or duck pizza.
