Eating Out: Flora by Greenhouse

A few meals from my beloved Flora. I realised as I was making this post that I hadn't been there for ages! This is shocking, and I must rectify it! Until then, enjoy this post and the previous posts I have made about eating there.

I tend to visit for lunch. On one visit, I tried the Pineapple, Grapefruit, Turmeric, Ginger, and Orange juice for a vitamin C boost. It was OK, but a bit overpowered by the orange flavour. My friend got this one one of my first visits here, and her juice looked much darker. So perhaps they have changed the proportions?

I wanted a lighter drink because for my food I had picked out their Reuben Sandwich and a side of Pesto Olive Potato Salad. This was all very yummy, but also very filling. My one gripe with the Reuben is that it does get a bit overpowered by mustard. It is strange they don't make a russian dressing to put on this, as should be the case with a Reuben. They have a lovely seitan, pickles and kraut, cheesy sauce, but then the mustard just overpowers it all.

Another visit I tried their Stuffed Croissant - spinach, scramble, rice paper bacon in a croissant, then toasted. These are pre-assembled and toasted on demand. This was something I wouldn't get again as the fillings stayed cold and it was weird. If they had been hot on the toasted croissant, it would be awesome.

I did hit them up early for a pre-work Saturday breakfast once, when they announced they were having a $15 all you can eat breakfast. WHAT? Yes please! It wasn't the usual buffet style. They had a staff member serving from the hotboxes behind the counter. You could go back as often as you wanted. This is my savoury plate with scramble, mushrooms, chilli beans (that had zero heat), rice paper bacon, hash brown, toast, and one of their vegan egg things. I also went back for some waffles and fruit salad, as well as an extra hash brown. I was pleasantly full after this, especially having a turmeric latte with it as well, but you could have gone back for a lot more!

Dim Sim


My poor girl got a UTI on Sunday morning. She was very uncomfortable. Thanks to pain relief and antibiotics, she is much happier now. We're still waiting on culture results for her urine, but she's 100% better in herself already.

  1. Poor Dim Sim, I'm glad that she is feeling better now! Everything looks so amazing! The juice actually sounds delicious and I've never had a turmeric latte but I've been so curious to try them. I'm such a sucker for breakfast, that scramble and the croissant sandwich look amazing!

    1. I love turmeric lattes, and they are the most common hot drink I order. I honestly don't know if turmeric does anything to help with my inflammation, but I like the taste.

  2. That juice sounds like the juice of my dreams!!!! And you know I want the potato salad! I tried making a pesto potato salad once and it did not look as beautiful as that!!
    I'm so happy Dim Sim is on the mend!!!!

    1. I am not normally a big fan of pesto as it is a bit too early for me, but I love it in potato salad! It soaks into the potatoes and is just perfect.

  4. That's too bad that the fillings were cold in the stuffed croissant, but the breakfast buffet sounds fantastic!

    1. It definitely ruined the croissant experience. But the buffet experience was great.

  5. What a shame the croissant temperature wasn't right... it looks so good! Still plenty of other things here to put on my Brisbane to-eat list. :)
