Firstly, you’re on vacation. But yet, somewhere around 8 in the morning, half-asleep, you drag yourself out of bed. Groggy eyed, you go through the morning ablutions, put on a few basics, and head out for breakfast. And in return, you are greeted with half an hour waiting, shirtless toned Australian boys, well-in-shape ladies, all of these reminding you to do something about your own physique. 

Welcome to Sisterfields Café, arguably the most popular breakfast joint in all of Seminyak. And the long queue is just a testimony to that. This place is like an insecure mirror staring back at you in shame, even before you enter. Sisterfields Café is for the new gen, the ones who've made fitness and eating right their mantra. My FitBit at this point was still yawning at 644 steps, reminding me to step up the ante. Anyways, 30 minutes in, we finally got a seat inside. Now Sisterfields has two outdoor seating areas and one inside, and yet, there’s always a queue. Famished and in a desperate need for me a pick-me-up, we started the meal with an Eggs Benedict – Poached Eggs with hollandaise sauce, red pepper pesto on a toasted sourdough. Oh my god, that sauce. This was just the right combination of pushing the envelope yet exercising restrain. That sauce was just the right consistency, and tasted delish. We’d say even a certain Cumberbatch would have been proud of this Benedict. Then came the Pulled Pork Charcoal Burger served with fennel and cabbage coleslaw and house fries. Did you know that Bali imports its dairy and meat, and uses its animals only for agriculture? That meant the softest pork imported all the way from Australia. And the Charcoal bun was a great combination, especially with the house-made barbecue sauce. This had almost filled us up, but the Brioche French Toast too was on its way. Banana crumble, candied hazelnuts and a chocolate mousse bar. This is the best Brioche French Toast we’ve ever had, partly because we haven’t tasted such delicious twists on a French toast before. We washed it all down with a hot cappuccino, and watched the buzzing Sisterfields make way for another fit group.

Honestly, for all the buzz about it being healthy and all, this one tasted the best. In fact it knocked all other breakfasts out of the park. There is a lot of hype about Sisterfields Café. But we urge you wake up, make your way to this little gem and savour the experience. Trust us. The hype is real.
