It’s such a good day, I’m in a tank top walking around Poblenou in Barcelona and I’ve just come back from the beach. Little Fern is run by a couple from Catalonia but who spent a good deal of time living and falling in love with New Zealand. The cafe is bustling with people on this beautiful Sunday afternoon and because I’m by myself, I get a seat quickly. 
I’ve started off with a house-made hibiscus lemonade, sweet and refreshing on what feels like summery weather.
Mains

Harissa scramble: Free-range soft scrambled eggs with a house salsa (roasted tomato, red pepper, harissa), avocado, sumac za’atar and grated pecorino. Served on toasted sourdough.
It’s vegetarian, but it looks damn good and I don’t want to walk around the city feeling super bloated. That salsa is amazing, there’s so much flavour packed into that. The eggs are silky and smooth, and the sourdough perfectly crispy. Everything is beautifully seasoned, and it’s one of those vegetarian dishes that really makes you feel so satisfied that you don’t need meat. It would still be good with some bacon though, but I’m happy as it is.
