Some call this cafe restaurant at the Heronswood estate, Heronswood Restaurant. Others call it…read moreFork to Fork. The latter name comes from the concept here. Organic veggies from very nearby on the estate itself. Garden fork to table fork and zero food miles. This is a seriously stunning location half way up Arthur's Seat with a great view of the bay. On a gorgeous warm, still sunny day like today, it was close to paradise. If you're astute enough and you score the right weather, there's a couple of tables here with magnificent views. They can be reserved. After a wander through the excellent nursery and a visit to the shop, we found ourselves at the restaurant for lunch. There's a good short menu here with ample to choose from. We shared the grazing plate and the pumpkin, leek and blue cheese tart and salad. The grazing plate features chicken roulade, goat cheese, carrot with aged cheddar, Heronswood egg, house relish, salad and bread. Both dishes were generously sized and very tasty. This is rustic, wholesome and really good food which we enjoyed thoroughly. The coffee to finish was very good too. This was a very pleasant lunch. Service was lovely, polite and efficient throughout. Heronswood is such a lovely place. We will return soon.

This probably should be the best contemporary cafe in this area. There's the makings but it's not…read morethere yet on what I experienced today. Merchant and Maker looks deceptively humble from the street nestled in a small shopping strip. It's actually a spacious cafe with ample inside and outside seating. And, it's located directly across from the breach. It's nicely fitted out in a contemporary way with brightness coming from the predominant white decor. There was lovely music on today. Someone has a really good playlist. Overall there's a lovely atmosphere at this cafe and it's a very nice place to sit a spell. I received a lovely greeting on arrival. Good menu here, but things are a little expensive, $2-3 above city prices in some cases. $6 to add extras to my brekkie eggs seemed a bit OTT to me. I had a gorgeous long black with cold milk on the side and it was very nicely presented on a board. Very very good coffee. Best coffee in the immediate area on the peninsula. I chose poached eggs on sourdough with beans and bacon. The toasted sourdough was too dry, the eggs not quite runny enough to offset the dryness. Another earlier reviewer had mentioned the dryness of the bread and they were right. The bread needs to softened in another way as parts of it were tough to eat. The dish was unseasoned too. I had to ask for salt and pepper which wasn't available on any table. Absolutely beautiful bacon, and superbly cooked. Best bacon I've tasted for a while, with gorgeous crisp edges. It was the best part of the dish. The beans were over sweetened. Like seriously too too sweet. It was a shame as they otherwise had good flavour. It was also a tiny serve for $6. So, overall the meal was not quite there for me. Service was lovely throughout. It has the makings but overall this cafe can do better.

Even though this place has been voted number 1, it certainly didn't live up to its expectations…read more Takeaway coffee was terrible, just tepid milk and water. I had the club sandwich, wasn't even a sandwich just a roll with chicken and bacon. The poached eggs and bacon was minimal for the price. But the worst dish has to be the fried chicken. Even though it was boneless, the meat was all grisly and fatty, leaving little meat and the coleslaw was just cut up cabbage. Even though we made a complaint about how bad the meal was, there was nothing done about it. Overall, very expensive overrated shit.

This will be the biggest call I have made in a very long time but here goes... best brunch I have…read moreever had. There! I said it! While on a weekend away in Red Hill we checked Yelp for a nearby brunch place and found Dee's. The place was busy but not annoyingly so when we arrived at around 10am on a Saturday. The coffees were... ok, but the food, OH MY, the food. I ordered the 'delicately smashed' rosemary potato and pumpkin, with garlic aioli, poached eggs and crispy pancetta. I am drooling just reminiscing about it. It was magical. A truly hearty dish that feels a bit like a roast dinner for breakfast but you will regret nothing! My partner ordered the smashed avo, which from all accounts was equally as delectable. They offer a variety of foods and wines to take home too - perfect if you live in the area or staying nearby and can't be effed cooking. Dee's Kitchen is probably the best brunch place down that side of Melbourne. Get involved!

Super hungry but wanting more than just eggs on toast we drove over from rosebud to dromana. Just…read morefrom looking at the mouthwatering cakes and baked goods on display we were sold. The menu had great depth with plenty of inspiring options in both the sweet and savoury sides. After some debate because we wanted to try so many things on the menu we opted for the shashuka and hot cakes. The shashuka was a Middle eastern inspired dish, poached eggs baked in tomato sauce with spinach and yoghurt. We opted to add chorizo which is never a bad decision. It also came with a warm round pita that provided a tasty way to mop up runny yolks and tomato salsa. The ricotta hot cakes were superb. Sweet but naturally so. They were topped with Greek yoghurt, fresh berries and drizzled with honey and crushed pistachio. The texture was excellent and flavours worked really we'll together. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. Coffee was excellent too and service was friendly. The also have a great range of breads, deli goods and wine that you can take home. Think I'll be coming back on my next trip to the peninsula.
