Featured Outlet - Graze, Sheung Wan



Ok, I'll admit that the idea of a cafe in Sheung Wan isn't exactly new but like most things in life the secret is in the execution. This is where they have excelled.

At first glance the menu appears similar to any other cafe but when you have a look at the food on display you know it isn't. Opening at 8am on weekdays and 9am on weekends you can start your day with a healthy breakfast menu and a cup of coffee made from Graze's very own whole bean grind or one of their gourmet teas if you would prefer.

After breakfast there really is quite a large selection to keep you "Grazing" throughout the day. Salads, Sandwiches, Pastas, Quiches, Burritos (they look really good), Muffins, Cookies and don't get me started on the desserts. Everything is available to have in the small but comfortable dinning area or you can take away (Including the wine).

When I visited I was behaving and just had the baby spinach, toasted walnut & blue cheese salad that was really good and surprisingly filling. My good behavior didn't extend to the beverages and I did indulge in a couple of glasses of Summerhouse Chardonnay while I relaxed after a busy Monday.

The thing that you notice about Graze is that, despite the happy staff and fun atmosphere of this cozy place, they do take what they do very seriously. The standard of all the ingredients is extremely high, as is the service, but despite this they have offered everything at very reasonable prices.

Ah... Graza Cafe. I heard of many good things about this place on Twitter and Foursquare, but my single visit to the place left much to be desired. Probably I was a little uncomfortable with the small setup and rowdy (foreign) conversations. Service was a little slow.

But they do try to do their best. Perhaps I shall visit again and change my opinion!

P.S.: I live five minutes away from Graze :)

Hi Razlan and thanks for your comments. I know what you mean about Twitter and foursquare. I also had heard a lot about Graze on the wires and was really looking forward to my visit.

I can only suggest that you may have got a bad time as the general reviews are all good as was my experience. I hope you will give it another try I think I would be there more often if I lived 5 mins away.

Dean
