Adventures in Parramatta - Lunch time in Church Street Mall

Once again I find myself asking, where is Autumn?

Today is a warm and sunny day in Parramatta; the sun is shining and the boots and jacket that I put on this morning may have been a mistake.

The day started off cool enough. Cool enough for a hot chai before work.

However, by the time lunch time came around, the sun was out and shining down on the mini-markets that are on every Thursday (temp) in Church Street Mall.

 

I am a semi regular to these markets and cannot wait for the re-worked Farmers Markets to commence in a few months. When I do go, there are a few stalls that I always stop in at. Those include the Brassiere Bread stall, the Bilpin Fruit & Vegetable stall and the Gozleme stall for lunch.

Today there wasn't much that I needed from the fruit and vege man - I'll wait until Saturday at the Castle Hill Farmers Markets, but I did stop in for a Quinoa and Soya loaf from Brassiere Bread.

This is my favourite bread from them - and it keeps great in the fridge as toast.

Next stop was for my lunch.

I am a huge fan of Gozleme - a bit more lemon wouldn't go astray though..

Next stop was the tart man. I was looking for something for dinner, so I stopped in and bought some small quiches - mushroom and feta - to heat up tonight.

I also stocked in at the tea lady to stock up on my favourite tea... 

and because I have to stay late at work today............

a lemon meringue pie.

Just cause.

If you in Parramatta on a Thursday, some of the market stalls are there early in the morning. 

If not, stop by at lunch.

And I'll keep you posted on the revamped Farmers markets when they start.
