Happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast and that’s what you will get at The Flying Horse Café on Southport-Nerang Road in Ashmore. This Gold Coast destination is named after the owners’ son, whose Japanese kanji for his name means Pegasus, and boasts alfresco dining on balmy days, while indoors, cabinets overflow with all manner of temptations and a wall of greenery adds a zen-like calm as you peruse a brunch and lunch menu of café classics with an Asian twist. Stop in early for fried chicken eggs Benedict, wilted spinach, pickled cabbage, corn kernels and chilli caramel Hollandaise, or signature hash browns with streaky bacon, poached eggs, smashed avocado and capsicum jam. Join a lively lunch crowd for a grilled salmon salad, roasted baby beets, carrots, lettuce and citrus dressing.
