Andy’s Remedy

Andy's Remedy is a cute and kitsch place to hang out and a wonderful spot for late snacks and a coffee on a weekend. The kitchen is open til 5/6ish depending on how busy it is. My friend and I enjoyed a tea each and she ordered some polenta chips. I was sad I had already had lunch as there were a number of great sounding gluten free and dairy free meals to chose from. I hope this place gets neighborhood support to keep going. Loved the vibe.

What a cosy place tucked away in Footscray. Its quite quaint and the staff are super lovely. The concept behind it being healthy there are heaps of options to pick from. A good coffee to start with a great cake to end it off.

Tonight we visited Andy’s Remedy in Footscray overlooking the Maribyrnong river. On a warmer night you could dine outside but tonight was very winter chilling so we stayed warm inside. It was great to see a menu that had such a variety and plenty of inclusions for gf, vegetarian and vegan it was almost as eclectic as the decor.  

We ordered cocktails and perused the menu whilst staring out at the lit up city skyline. We started with the warming berry brew cocktail. Served in a tea pot with a side of Gin and Cointreau, meant I could pour my “tea” and adjust the flavours to my liking.

We also ordered the Trojan God which had just about everything I’ve ever liked In the one glass. Pimms and dry ginger, tick, white and spiced rum, tick, tick, tick, tick, this drink was next level freaking delicious.

To snack whilst siping we devoured the arancini, these gorgeous crusted arancinis where coated in the most divine salsa, they both had a wonderful depth of flavour with the capsicum in the veggie and the bbq sauce with the pork.

We also tried the Salt and pepper calamari with the chili maple glaze. These flavoursome crunchy coated morsels were bang on delicious, if you like sweet and savoury together, then you need to dip in this maple bath of heaven.

I was going to be a brave meat eater and give the plant meat cheeseburger a go but unfortunately it had sold out so had to go for winter comfort and chose the Lamb shanks. This substantial and hearty shank arrive a top a silky tasty garlic mash with deliciously seasoned broccolini. The shank was giant and fall off the bone tender.

We also chose the Parmigiana with a twist. A thick crumbed chicken topped with cheese along with smashed avo and mild cream style sauce. All so full of flavour. The avo with the tomato salsa,  cheese and chicken was just spot on.

The Locally sourced carrot cake was our dessert, it was sublime. With spicy flavours, texture and crunch of fresh nuts, icing that was delightful and rich and not too sweet. Carrot cake is my favorite dessert and one is a real winner. One of the best I have ever had.

We really enjoyed our dining experience tonight. Thanks so much for inviting us in.

A random search of bars in Footscray brought up Andy's Remedy. I had not heard of it so discovered by messaging them on Facebook that they have replaced the old Happy River Cafe.

Chatting to Andy he advised that they had just started opening of an evening from 5pm, so we decided to give it a go. Well worth it!

Classy decor in an already excellent setting. Andy was friendly and knowledgeable with the wine menu.

As smokers we knew we would be sitting in the lovely grassed area and spotted a cute fluffy bench seat and some cushions under a shady tree and Andy was accommodating in bringing us over a table.

We kicked back enjoying our glass of Shiraz in gorgeous crystal glasses and enjoyed the sunny afternoon.

We had somewhere else to go so we were unable to stay longer, but we will definitely be back for the great ambience, music and to try the food.

Also looking forward to an excellent Sunday sesh 😊

Thanks Andy for a great arvo see you soon

My new favourite local place, third time back this week. A perfect blend of awesome vibes, food and drinks in a beautiful and lush location. Loving the wooden board games and super delicious remedies. So happy this little gem has opened!

Lovely outdoor setting area with option of picnic rugs on the grass. Toys, wooden ride on pikes and riding toy cars available in the outdoor area. Suitable for toddler and probably preschoolers.

Owner is extremely friendly and welcoming. Was my first visit to Andy's Remedy and it was so relaxing. Will be back very soon
