Well, that certainly made this place pretty good, and the options were quite delicious. In fact, this is one of the last places that I visited before we returned to an extended lockdown. Anyway, I ended up having the chilli scrambled eggs, which I have to admit was really yummy. They also made a pretty awesome pot of tea. Oh, and the service was great as well. I've definitely got to come back here.

Grab a table or a seat at the window and watch the world go by as you sip a delicious coffee and wait for your breakfast. But it won't take long and it's worth the wait. The Basil Breakfast is delicious, poached eggs with bacon, tomato and avocado with fresh basil on toast. They have loads of extras that you can add to make your perfect breakfast but it's easy to get carried away and then you need to take a walk along the Bay to work it off.

Open at 7am on weekdays, they have a large variety of breakfast items on the menu. For a slightly greasy start to the day, you can't go past the Provisions Breakfast (with hash browns if you're feeling extra hungry). Yummy eggs and bacon on large slices of toast, sauteed mushrooms, I'm drooling right now. Plenty of healthy alternatives, fresh fruit, oatmeal, museli, etc. Coffee is pretty good too. Staff have always been friendly and blend into the background.

Orange sliced cheese is non existent in Phila sandwich shop, this was like McDonald's cheese galavanting as whiz. Onions were cut too large so the ratio to meat was wrong.

I'm so excited that I finally got to cram one of Sparrow's Philly Cheesesteaks creations into my…read moremouth. Doubly excited that they have an entire wall devoted hot sauces and condiments for said creations. Triply excited that, despite their name sake, there are vegetarian options on the menu. But just because it's vegetarian, it makes no pretense that it's healthy. That fried tofu sandwich comes topped with vegetarian chilli and gooey, guilty-pleasure American cheese. Plus the option to have it all seated on top of a big pile of fries. You can save money for more beer at the Catfish bar on Mondays, when the cheesesteaks are only $8 or $10 with fries. Order and pick-up at the back hatch. Then add a little heat with things like the chipotle bbq sauce and tomatillo & jalapeno, or just play it safe and stick with the basic tomato sauce & yellow mustard. There is no way you're walking out hungry after one of these.

At Cleo's Fish & Chip shop all food is cooked fresh while you wait. This is great in the sense that…read moreyou know you are getting quality ingredients but annoying in that sometimes it can be a bit of a wait before your order is ready. The food here is fantastic and I am a big fan of their flour battered grilled flake. It tastes amazing and has just the right amount of flavour and salt. The chips are pretty standard - I've had a few experiences with very dry overcooked chips there. They serve a veggie burger for only $5.50 and it is massive. Definitely good value there. Other great aspects about Cleo's are: - the staff are super nice - the store is clean - they are open all day long for six days of the week *Do note that they don't accept cash. There is a milk bar a few doors down that lets you get cash out though, so it's ok.

On two occasions we have received burgers with no meat! Once we got a hamburger with mayo instead of a chicken burger with mayo. Sick and tired of having to drive back to get things corrected.

Had every intention to dine (for the first time) at the Vegie Bar (which is the rave on vegan…read moresocial media) only to walk in to a veritable undergraduate haunt - jam packed and resembling more a bar fad - so backed up Brunswick street and spied Madame K's With no brief it looked well patronised (this was a Tuesday night and it was near full) so that's gotta mean something and it promoted vegan dishes The young waitress was trying to oblige but language skills were a barrier and experience was clearly an issue Found a place for one and I went with a small plate of Betel leaf (Miang Kham) with red quinoa, peanuts, coconut shreds topped with a sauce (vegan) - this was very nice and I thought I was onto something However the main plate - a Tofu cashew nut stir-fry with brown rice (tomorrow is an ember day and one of fasting - so time to stock up) was fairly disappointing - the veggies were average and the whole dish fairly uninspiring Overall the place was not great and I won't bother again

Another all-vegetarian entry on a street with several such options. I ended up at this one largely…read morebecause of its slightly more generous opening times. The menu offers a range of Thai and pan-Asian dishes, and the prik khing I ordered was tasty, but not really filling enough to justify the price. The service was a bit of a struggle as well, as I don't think my (admittedly foreign) accent was quite understood. Mostly, however, the food itself wasn't up to the local competitors that I tried. It was good, and in a less saturated market I'd look on it more favorably as all-vegetarian restaurants are a valuable thing in my eyes, but in Melbourne I can't see it as better than average.

I'm just very annoyed with the fact that we all had to order dishes by scanning the qr code. we had to order separately and pay upfront individually on our phone. I understand that Melbourne is lacking labour and by forcing customers order on the phone can propably make the staff less busy. But Calia is not a low end restaurant, at least I don't think it's low priced. We chose to dine in in Calia and got a very inconvenient waitressing, which is no waitressing. I felt like eating in McDonald's. Thanks for that.
