Just my bad luck. The first time I want to go try out their breakfast menu with friends on a Saturday, is the one time, I hope, they did not open at their advertised 8 am, but at 11 am. They apologized when I walked in. We were obviously disappointed because it is not easy to locate parking and gather the troops to move to a different venue, but we moved our breakfast to Kerr Str Cafe and we were not disappointed at Kerr Str Cafe.
Lunch at Maro's at 12:30 pm was LOUD and BUSY!!! Lots of school boys and take outs happening at the same time, in such a small space. Clearly a very popular lunch location. Go at 12 pm, or earlier. Or, after 1:30 pm. The food was delicious! I love all of the menu options. Real food. Fresh. Flavourful. Made with some care. A small amount of grit (crunchy sand) was in my eggplant tomato side, but that could happen anywhere. I highly recommend this restaurant to friends.
