The flavour of the filling is really good, very nice short crust base, and a suitably flaky top. In fact, the short rust base would have to be one of the best. I do think, though, to be fair, it is slightly pipped by the Kirra Bakery's pie, which as a slightly better, flakier top. But it is certainly the best pie in Melbourne, and one of the best in Australia :-) read more
