Rustic Plate
Outside Westfield Hornsby
236 Pacific Highway
Hornsby, Sydney
The Mall at Hornsby is growing gradually into quite the foodie hub and the addition of Rustic Plate is certainly welcome. It's a deceptively big place with an indoor area as well as an al fresco area out the front which is still covered and sheltered.
We just wanted a coffee but once we took a look at the menu we just knew we had to try something! We did order coffee though and the tasty brews arrived hot and nice and fast.
They do pizza's and the large pizza oven beckoned, but it was mid afternoon and we just wanted something light. In the end we chose a plate of dips and olives served with freshly baked pita bread still warm from the oven. It turned out to be a great choice too! The dips were so tasty, the olives plump and juicy and the bread was to die for - we couldn't get enough of it and it was already a big serving!
Rustic Plate has a nice feel to it. The tables are well well spaced out and it has a nice relaxed feel there.
The food we had was delicious and very reasonably priced. We're certainly keen to try a bit more of their menu another time.
