Platform 3

It was a Saturday afternoon, and Platform 3 was exactly where everyone wanted to be. Away from the harsh winds, we were very lucky to get a table inside.

I was kindly invited by the owner, Tyler to try out the food at Platform 3  – a café and tapas bar nestled on the other side of the train tracks in Carnegie. The decor is modern, stylish and also included a beautiful centre piece on the communal table. With music playing softly in the background, coffee in the air, the vibe inside was very laid back and exactly what I wanted for a lazy Saturday.

Slow cooked BBQ pulled pork

By now, you would have probably realised that I'm obsessed with pulled pork. On the menu ? I will have to have it. I cannot help it, nor do I want to. In saying that, I was plesantly surprised to find pulled pork at Platform 3, and was ecstatic to see it pop up in the menu. Their slow cooked pulled pork on a large brioche was served lavishly, above fresh salad and creamy mayo. Coleslaw and pickles also supported this boutniful lunch. 

Spanish Smash Avocado with Poached eggs

It was great to see that for the smashed avo lovers, we had three options - Feta, Chilli or Spanish. And given the choice, we decided to go for something a little different from my usual feta infused avocado smash. Atop toasted ciabatta was an abundant amount of smashed avocado with onion and tomato, with a pair of perfectly poached eggs oozing yolky goodness. 

Platform 3 was an easy spot to eat, drink, chill out and leave the world behind for a bit. Food was fresh, delicious, and stood out in Carnegie (the pulled pork !!). Tyler and the incredibly friendly waitresses armed with great big smiles were all attentive and helpful throughout the whole afternoon. It was particularly lovely to see Tyler on site, engaging and stopping for a friendly chat and chuckle with customers. A passionate foodie owner himself, Tyler has certainly found the perfect combination in putting his love for food and career hand in hand.
