Hospitals are not usually known for their food - however the team that offered Relish at Chatswood Chase have opened Relish at the Sydney Adventist Hospital. Located in the San Clinic, Relish is a small cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor balcony looks out over tall trees and on a beautiful sunny day feels a world away from the hospital grounds.

We ordered coffees and sat outside on the sunny deck - the menu is written up on the blackboard inside the cafe or posted in small plastic sleeves on each table. The idea is you order and pay at the counter and are provided with a table number. The staff are friendly and the clientelle is a mix of hospital staff, patients and visitors.

We ordered 1 x fish cakes & salad and 2 x ricotta hot cakes & salad. The ricotta hot cakes were absolutely delightful - they were crisp on the outside and very soft & gooey on the inside. Two medium sized ricotta hot cakes came on each plate with a side salad. The fish cakes came served as small balls with a side salad and whilst they looked tempting did not match the ricotta hot cakes.

Inside the cafe there are magazines, papers and journals to keep you occupied and there are still renovations happening inside and out, but it is definitely the best food offering in the hospital grounds.

Want some good news? The hospital has decided to provide free on site parking over the Christmas period - this kicked in after I had paid my all day pass but I love that festive cheer!
