    Found this cafe as a middle point for a family brunch, and we were so so happy with it! Food was amazing, the variety and standard of the food was so good. I am also Gluten Free and there were so many options for me to choose from. The service from the staff was exceptional as well. Only down side is it does get a little loud. We will definitely be coming back!

    This was an exceptional experience. Everything had been thought out to the minute detail. We have been to many 3* Michelin restaurants in Europe and this restaurant equates to the best. The food was wonderful , the service second to none. The culinary theatre was spectacular. You felt the team worked like a well oiled machine. Everyone pitched in, down to the sommelier also waiting on table. You felt that this was a culinary family who were keen to ensure that every diner had the very best experience. This meal was a celebration of our 50 th wedding anniversary and the team were keen to acknowledge this. There were so many nice touches that there were too many to mention individually. The wine parings were super and the sommelier was helpful, well informed and above all enthusiastic about the wines he had on his list. This is a real gem one that Melbourne and Australia should be really proud of. We can not recommend it more highly.

    great space for lunch on the outside of Chaddy shopping centre, easy parking across the road. Great friendly staff and really nice ambiance to the restaurant. Food was amazing and different, maybe just a few favorites could be added, but it was a lovely lunch time spent, thanks to all the staff who even thru the Chaddy blackout kept us well informed and smiling throughout.
