Came here on a Monday afternoon for lunch and it was pretty quiet, I like it quiet it’s good for conversations. We had roasted pumpkin salad and chicken bowl. The chicken was really tender and the chimichurri sauce was perfect. Portion size is quite big, there was loads of chicken in the bowl and I had to share it with my daughter. Just wish they didn’t bring us the bill, it felt like they wanted us to leave so they can close early.
Looks so great inside post renovations! Staff were super friendly, menu is extensive with something for everyone. Croquettes were epic - so much flavour! Avo on toast also really good - so much avo!
Staff are friendly and kind! The price are reasonable for the quality of the food. I ordered something with mushrooms in it and staff were nice and replaced it with cucumbers for me. Had a nice experience 💓

We are here last weekend. The place has totally changed since my last review (more about that later). It looks different and the service is 1000 fold better. We had share plates including a really divine warm brie drizzled in honey and topped with walnuts. The meatballs were melt in your mouth and the pumpkin salad was so fresh and tasty. The chef is a Brazilian lady and the food reflects a feminine approach, in taste, textures and presentation. Make sure you order dessert. I had the key lime panacotta and wasn’t sorry. The passion fruit mousse was also delish. The staff applied the full 25% discount from the entertainment book, making out dinner affordable and good value.
Here’s what I wrote last time.
It’s changed completely ... June 2016 - Master 12 was chained to the library computer to catch up on outstanding homework so we headed for coffee and something sweet. Saturday morning so everywhere in EVP was full including 868. The place is big though so no one misses out. The coffee was really good and the caramel slice was delicious. My only criticism would be that the service was a little slow. Otherwise, I think we enjoyed that time more than Master 12 did!
Fantastic cafe - spacious, bright, elegant look. Staff are very friendly and fun. Some interesting items on the menu. The French Toast was very good.
There's not much that I can say, other than I really liked the quietness of the café - we were there from 10am-11.30am and the friendliness of the staff. It's in the Entertainment Book so that's a nice bonus.
Great to sit in the windows and watch the people go by. Fantastic staff and really potent expresso martini's. We stopped in for dessert and were very happy with the Lime Pannacotta.
What was once a simple cafe has been transformed into something terrific. What's not to love about refreshing fruity Sangria, delicious well cooked food (try the beef!) and a short but smart wine list? Throw in great service and you have a real winner. We'll be back.
The word restaurant is related to ‘restore’ and 868 is a place which restores your faith in the world. Service from our Venezuelan waiter was friendly, informed and very professional - he made our night. The sangria made by our waiter was wonderfully dry and beautifully balanced by the fruit - a must have. The food is tapas style and we shared tasty manchego and leek croquettes, a nutty and generous pumpkin and quinoa salad and the perfectly cooked and sliced rump steak. Having started with generous serve of cassava chips and aioli, a small salad was generously provided instead of the truffle fries. Sunken (deliberately) chocolate soufflé was a shared ending to a sweet experience. Wine list is short and on point - Rioja drank well with the tapas and PX with dessert. 868 is offering something different to the strip not least that often missed true generosity of spirit and care.
I thought this place was fantastic. Menu is different keeping the eating experience unique. They can get busy over the weekend so get in early.
Had brunch here just this afternoon and the newly decorated place is looking good. The coffees are good and fresh juice is refreshing for a hot day. The corn fritters are nice and refreshing. On another hand, croque madame is very tasty and we love it even though it was quite a big serve but we couldn’t stop eating. Would love to try other menu they have next time.
Nice and quiet environment, very good for meeting friends and talking from deep hearts. Nice wine selection although the wine list isn't large. Food is amazing. The salmon tartare was out of my expectation. Tapas is always my thing as I like to try different dishes in one go. I will definitely go back with more friends to try more dishes.
One of the best breakfast I have ever had amazing
Good food but not super pretentious. They do cater to health woo enthusiasts a little bit by offering a lot of gluten free etc but they have plenty of options. They make a pretty good sandwich and the cold brew coffee is decent too.
We all should be spontaneous at times, but your morning coffee can't be hit and miss.
This is why 868 is my go to for coffee. Consistant quality in food and beverages is what makes 868 stand out from the rest. As to the customer service. Well it's either fantastic management creating such great customer service and a great work environment. OR it's I'm just a really likeable person and that's why they are all so genuinely friendly to me, let's call it 50/50
I come here min 3-5 times a week for the best iced coffee in victoria park (i have tried most places... So i stand by my 'best coffee' statement.)
Sooo today i got my iced coffee and a crustry roll. Yummmmmmmm - I Took two bites and had to write my second ever review :)
Food is mintox and customer service is great.
There has been a refurbishment since my last visit. The seating is comfortable. The decor is mainly dark browns, good for a more intimate meal in relative peace and quiet. Standard Vic Park pricing.
First visit and will definitely be back. Amazing, friendly staff, great drink range and absolutely delicious food. If you get a chance to go to one of their quiz nights you should!
