Altona Curry House

Big serve for me as brunch. Great and nice food

We came here as part of the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival - Westside crawl. We had a taste of the delicious fresh taco, cabbage salad and slow cooked pork. These dishes were washed down with Hawkers hazy beer, a light beer and others.

I am now no longer surprised when I find a great place to eat in the least likely suburb. Pier Street Altona has certainly come a long way over the years and the places to eat are expanding and improving. Brunch at Hangar1obe2 had come with high recommendations of their eggs benedict so I was prepared for a good meal. Instead I got a great meal and excellent service. This reasonably small spaced cafe maximises dining with tables along the walls and a bench table in the middle for 6. You could spread a broadsheet newspaper out and still have plenty of room. There is also seating out the front. I ordered by EB with pulled pork and my friend had bacon. The portion sizes were generous and the flavours excellent. Wheelchair friendly - no step up into the cafe although there is a small step to the toilets. Highchairs available. Good parking out the front or down the side streets but there are time limits. Takeaway food and beverages available. Certainly the muffins looked like a meal themselves. And finally the staff. So friendly, quick to take out order, meal on the table in 15 minutes and even meant me a pen to do the crossword in the newspapers that are supplied. All round great place to come. I will return.

Friendly staff, nice menu. Indoor and outdoor seating. Understand the extra charge for GF toast but would be better to supply nicer bread than just plain white. Nobody asked us to check in.
