    Smashed avo with bocconcini, tomato, lemon and a poached egg!
    Richele D.

    So I'm starting to explore what Melbourne has to offer and I've quickly realised I'm spoilt for choice! As a Perth girl, I love being outdoors and this cafe brings the outside in. The bifold doors open up the whole cafe to the beautiful streetscape. Aesthetically pleasing, with touches of gold and rose gold. Beautifully plated food and great coffee! Service could be slightly more prompt, but other than that enjoyed my morning with a coffee in hand and food in my belly!

    Their service was friendly and attentive, the menu has a wok sections which are a bit out of place but in the same time unique. I honestly love the vibe, airyness and the natural lights part of the cafe.

    Perfect presentation

    One of my favourite go to Cafes for long brunches with friends, or quick coffee on the go! The beautiful interiors make the atmosphere so elegant, and the amazing attention to detail on the food is really worth photographing every single time! I can't go past without having a delicious peanut butter hot chocolate but on Friday nights you must try Leo's delicious espresso martini!

    St. Moritz - Smoked fruit salad

    An awesome little place in an awesome little neighborhood…read more St. Moritz is an inviting little restaurant with a distinct European flare. It has an open airy atmosphere, fun lighting and a fantastic all night happy hour on Mondays. For a couple of yanks not used to $12 dollar beers this was a welcome development. And the Monday $1 oysters didn't hurt either! We started the meal with the truffled polenta chips and truffled mushroom arancini. Pretty much anything with the word truffled will instantly be ordered when I look at a menu. Both of these were crispy and delicious with excellent aioli dipping sauces lacing the plates. Being a couple of Americans we could not resist the Kangaroo carpaccio. It was good as a novelty but did not blow me away. The scallops and oysters were also very good. Hands down the best item we ordered, however, was the Lamb mint pea risotto. This was a masterful risotto prepared to perfection. A symphony of subtle flavors topped with perfectly medium rare pieces of succulent lamb. This dish could not have been better!

    Loved this place! Went here for breakfast/brunch and the food was delicious. The restaurant was…read morefestive and is found on a street full of shops and other food shops. Had the smoked fruit salad which was fresh and delicious and beautifully put together. Also tasted the pancakes which were also really good. If we are back in Melbourne we will definitely be back here.

    I used to be a regular here, stopping in for coffees, take away fruit toast on the way to work,…read morebigger breakfasts or a killer sandwich after a boozy night out. On those seedy mornings I'd find a spot inside, bury my head in a newspaper, sunglasses firmly planted on my face, and just give the staff that knowing look of "either kill me, or bring me coffee". Then, I moved and became less of a regular. I forgot how much I loved the friendly staff, the relaxed vibe and the extensive menu with plenty of options for those needing a healthy, filling and/or greasy brunch. They really cover all the bases here and now, guess what!? (You'll never guess) They're opening for dinners, offering a wide variety of pizzas and their own homemade cheeses! I have to admire them for going to the effort of bringing in their own cheesemakers and offering something a little different, though I think the menu could be a little shorter so that they could focus on nailing a smaller selection. My tip? Stick to the fresh cheeses - ricotta, scormoza and mozzerella. Oh, and don't you dare not have an Aperol Spritz.

    The olive bread at Il Fornaio is known as being one of the best in town, therefore I had to try it…read more I don't like olives. Whenever I say that to myself it makes me really upset because I know that I am missing out on something that so many people around the world love. I really want to know what I am missing out on! This is why if something has olives in it and I'm told that "you have to try it", I'll try it. I still don't like olives. Nice try Il Fornaio, nice try. The over powering flavour of olives still runs strong. I had an irresistible Affogato to wash away the flavour. That was great on a beautiful spring day near the beach.
