Dark chocolate mocha for me

2-hatted restaurant in Melbourne. One of the better degustación I’ve had in a while. Matching wines included Basque Country vino and sherry as well as vermouth. Worth breaking the Good Friday abstinence 😬😇

Fun Day to kick start the weekend! Have not had a root beer float (they call it a spider here in Oz) in years! So naughty and so good.

Rigatoni with cavalo Nero and chilli and Parmesan + Barramundi with fennel Port and Tonic (P&T) + Rose 🍷

Houjicha chocolate latte

Quaint wine and cocktail bar. We had a 4 course dinner - Chef surprised us. We didn’t know what we were getting. Huevos y churros (celeriac purée filled- yum!). Roasted mixed root vegetables and nectarine purée. Best simple roast chook and mash. Mille feuillle (so?) to round it off. Averna for digestif.

Always a treat here. Galette with prosciutto and figs and goat cheese and salad. Paired with a dry French cider (from Bretagne)

Argentinian veggie (oxymoron!) empanada

Brekkie burrito bowl with kale and mushroom 🍄 Iced latte plus a soy cap earlier

Been going here for 15 years. Menu changes daily. Truffle mushroom pizza tonight. Then Kingfish with onion soubise, South Australian mussels, samphire and fresh peas. Chef Damien has done it again!

Dark chocolate mocha and ham & cheese croissant 🥐

Brown rice and quinoa with mackerel and jalapeños + spinach and fresh tomato 🍅

Mushroom. Tsukune. Also had duck and bao. 2 glasses Nero D’ Avola. One Ukeshu.

Fresh cooked sticky chicken with slaw and sweet potato. Not bad for a work cafeteria

Before early morning flight ✈️ Love this Lorna Jane Nourish Cafe

Funky new cafe where they roast their own beans and have modern machines

Chunky beef pie inside
