Richmond Hill Cafe & Larder is one of Melbourne's most established cafes - housed in a carefully restored Victorian building dating from 1860, on one of Melbourne's busiest shopping strips, Bridge Road.
A very good friend selected this well known venue for a late breakfast....well call it brunch. Parking is always a challenge being right opposite the Epworth hospital. Going towards the city the clear way stops at 10:00am and I was surprised to find a number of available car parks on a paid meter or via the PayStay app.We sat inside along the main window. There is also good outside seating. My soy latte was alright but not fantastic. No coffee art, for my taste too hot and consequently the milk wasnât textured right. I opted for sour dough toast with marmalade and had to ask for butter. I received a generous 3 slices (2 would have been all I needed) but interesting the jam was just enough for 2 slices.Considering the café wasnât very full, the service was patchy. Regardless, the café and larder has a great feel and a must to walk into the temp controlled cheese room....making this place an institution after all.

Oscar Cooper is very popular and mostly quite full for a weekend brunch. But we really enjoyed our experience. Great food and coffee. Convenient location, and nice people. On a sunny day this makes a perfect breakfast/brunch spot.

Once you find this place (in Grey Street) you enter a whole new world. Away from the funkiness of many other cafes, this is a gorgeous place to come and have a meal. Today I had the waffles - OMG they were amazing. And then served a coffee that the barissta should be given a gold medal. The staff were lovely and seemed to enjoy working at Miss Jackson. However, service can be slow. Takeaway available. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Pram/stroller accessible. Parking is okay.

Overlooking Albert park and breathtaking city views, Fitzrovia has pride of place in our beautiful Federation mansion house with pressed tin ceilings, hand-made brick work, stained glass, baltic pine floors and a host of wonderful original features. From
Return visit - still friendly & enthusiastic service, excellent (healthy) food - something for everyone i.e. vegan, vegetarian or carnivore, relaxed atmosphere, open (& busy) kitchen, small but good value wine list. Highly recommended.

What we do here at St. LuJa is bring a venue with a home away from home feel, with excellent service, banter and some of the best cocktails in Melbourne without being pretentious and great food too. The guest is number one and we like to get to know the p

Woodland House is the collaboration between two of Melbourne's finest young chefs, Thomas Woods and Hayden McFarland. A united culinary force, they have created an innovative, energetic and produce-based cuisine of their very own.
We at the degustation menu with matching wines ... from start to finish we were underwhelmed by both the food and service. The whole place lacks atmosphere: soulless grey decor. The waiting staff were well-meaning but not up to the standard I expect from a restaurant of this standard. Of all the staff we saw, one was a native English speaker (and he didnât serve us) the rest were heavily accented, which made it hard to discern what we were being fed. We repeatedly referred to the menu for hints. A couple of the waiting staff also seemed very inexperienced and couldnât respond to relatively simple questions from us and other patrons. One Chinese couple, with excellent English, tried to make a request about the cheese course but eventually gave up trying to make themselves understood. One exception to this was the Italian (I think) sommelier who was articulate and well-informed (though I didnât agree with some of the pairings!).The menu seemed oddly sparse in information. The main ingredient in the poached calamari, for example, was poached fennel. This was quite tasty, but also a complete surprise. Why not mention it?!The food itself was variable, to say the least. A couple of quite interesting tastes - the scallop was lovely, as was the wallaby, but much of it was bland and/or under-seasoned. Not worth the money by any measure.Having recently been to Attica, which has some similarities in terms of menu style, we had high hopes of another evening of delicious food and informative service. This delivered neither. Save your money and go somewhere else - or getting organised (and get saving) and go to Attica if you want food and service worth the price tag.

Nestled in Windsor, Melbourne, amok is chef Woody Chet's vision where he is bringing experience from Coda and Tonka to share his modern interpretation of his homeland's culinary flavours with locals. His Cambodian inspired dinner menu weaves in delicate y
Really interesting food in a small setting . A good range of small, medium and large dishes. Our favourites were fish amok; scotch fillet and the spiced cauliflower side. Very reasonably priced wine list from small wineries. Strongly recommend. Also consider the chefâs tasting menu.
