I went to cheese stores all through Melbourne and around Brisbane and this was where I found the greatest selection of cheese made in Australia.

This place looks like nothing more than a gelato shop from the front, so you'd be forgiven for not…read morerealising there's a whole specialty grocery inside -- and they also do delicious made-to-order artisan sandwiches to take away. To get a sandwich, bypass the gelato out front and go inside, then bypass the groceries and head straight to the back. There's a cashier here who will take your order and bring your sandwich out to you after about a 10-15 minute wait. I love this place because of their four vegan sandwich options: a tofu salad open sandwich with sesame and lime dressing; a bagel sandwich with a tofu and corn fritter and curried cashews, cucumber, and coriander; a tempeh burger on focaccia with kimchi and ABC sauce; and an eggplant, pumpkin, spinach, white bean, and basil pesto on focaccia. If these descriptions don't have you drooling right now, I don't know what's wrong with you. All vegan sandwiches are $11.50 and come with potato chips. This is a fair price for a delicious and rather filling lunch. Their non-vegan sandwiches aren't much more expensive either. My favorite is the tempeh burger with ABC sauce -- it's like an Indonesian sweet soy sauce -- oh man. Just the right mix of unusual but awesome flavours. There's no seating here -- it's take-away only, unless you're out front having a gelato. While you wait for your sandwich, you can peruse the specialty grocery items. They have a small but impressive collection of hard-to-find and locally-made items, such as La Tortilleria tortillas, local hand-made chocolates, jars of refrigerated kimchi, and chips made from all manner of non-potato things -- kale chips, bean chips, turnip chips.... Just be prepared for some sticker shock. These specialty groceries don't come cheap. (One of the chocolate bars was $14!!! It better be chocolate CRACK, at that price.) All in all, a great place to come for an awesome take-away sandwich with fresh and often unusual ingredients at lunchtime, and a fun place to peruse if you like your exotic, organic, hand-made/hand-dipped/hand-chopped/hand-crafted/hand-tooled/hand-whatever fancy-pants specialty grocery items. You know who you are. (Note the sandwiches are a Monday-Friday lunchtime thing only. I came once on the weekend and they weren't making sandwiches. The gelato is available all the time, but I admit I haven't sampled it yet.)

Proper cup not takeaway 3.5's…read more I've been to this Michel's once on a different occasion then today (Aug 11th.2016) and they had always made the drinks and served in a proper cup for sit down purposes. This time I mentioned I was sitting inside... and it came to me in a paper cup as you notice from my pic. ..... Although, I found that the owner was very understanding.. I suggested that next time to consider patron suggestion and to think of what needs to be considered next time. Their deli case has quite a few amazing cakes for celebratory parties! And a few people had been their at the counter putting cake orders in. So can't be all bad.

Michel's Patisserie has been with me since I was at school, when I would finish up my day at…read moreschool, get on the train back to the 'hood, and drop by Michel's for a sausage roll or something equally unhealthy, loiter at the local shopping centre for a bit then go home. That was a different time and a different Michel's but the one in Barkly Square in pretty much the same deal, and it feels just as naughty eating one of their sausage rolls or chicken pies as it used to. The problem is Michel's at Barkly Square is in the thoroughfare between my grocery store and supermarket and one end of the shopping centre, and the Asian supermarket at the other end of the shopping centre, which means I have to walk past the hot food counter at Michel's to get anywhere. And I know you're not meant to go food shopping when you're really hungry, but that is usually the trigger for me - hungry, no food at home, go to supermarket. So yes, I do sometimes let temptation win over steely resolve and I'll get a mini sausage roll to keep me company on my walk from Coles to the Asian supermarket. It doesn't taste anything special, it is certainly not gourmet, but it does remind me of finishing up at school for the day.

Not fancy looking but expect GOOD service even though they are SO busy. Tight space meaning the tables are pretty crammed and closely knitted. Can host larger groups. Has a family friendly restaurant feel. Review: Margarita pizza was AMAZING. Soft crust and right level of sauce. The cheese was high quality and it was delicious. It's good for one person. The pasta was a little disappointing given that's it's an Italian place. Didn't feel like home made pasta. It wasn't saucy and the sauce didn't taste good. Wouldn't recommend the pasta. But what I would really say is a MUST try is the coffee mocha. If you're in Australia you know the coffee is already crack - but this one is especially creamy and the perfect blend between chocolate and coffee.

If you love beautiful Italian cheese - imagine fresh tubs of ricotta & tasty pecorino, delicious ricotta canoli to have with coffee, or fancy mouth watering porchetta in a crispy bread roll, like those you may have tasted in a Perugian town in Italy, then you should definitely visit That's Amore.
