    I keep coming back for the good service and wonderful breakfast menu. I love how they let me order scrambled eggs for my Benedict.

    Well, a coffee stand in Melbourne airport. I guess with the reptutation that Melbourne coffee has,…read moreone would probably expect that this place is certainly going to try to meet, or even exceed, that. Well, yeah, the coffee actually isn't too bad, though I certainly wouldn't consider it to be one of the best places out there. In a way it is mainly for people to grab a coffee as they shoot off to board a plane. In a way it works, though it certainly isn't the best coffee about, but they still do a pretty good job, as expected.

    I want to give this place 5-stars purely because I nearly weeped when I saw they were open after…read moremidnight in the international departures lounge, as everywhere else was closed. Yes, even Vue du Monde who say they close at 1am on their website were closed well before that - to say I was livid was an understatement. Anyway, Macchinetta was open and I was very happy. They had a big selection of fresh foods like sandwiches, rolls, wraps but I went for an arancini. To be honest I really couldn't understand the guy serving as he kept mumbling but he seemed to say the arancini was beef flavoured which sounded good. I also got a glass of fizz (I was really happy, ok) and grabbed a seat. As this was the only place open it was pretty popular but the arancini only took about 5 minutes and was served with a side salad. Sadly, it was horrible. Bland but salty at the same time. No discernable flavour, some cheese in there but that still didn't give it any flavour. It was pretty unpleasant to eat. I suffered through it though because I was starving and I know you can't rely on getting delicious food on any flight. Graeme's wrap was better and next time I would stick to something a bit more standard if I was eating here again. So even though the food was bad, they still won my heart over by being open. If flights are going to be departing at 3.30am, Melbourne Airport should really make sure there's some food options for them at that time of night.
