A great place for a great meal. We've only recently discovered this gem. The staff are easygoing and efficient - going out of their way to sort seating etc. Food is excellent, and very fairly priced. This is our "go-to"whenever in the city for lunch.
Degrave st也算CBD的意大利网红街了吧，周末男票带我来吃牛排～点了rib eye和chicken parma。牛排要的全熟的，怕生😂略微一些干，虽然不是很大但味道还是棒棒的，配上大个的薯条，幸福感。芝士鸡排不是硬硬的炸过的感觉，是嫩嫩的口感，中间还夹了ham。喜欢这家店～

This is an older style cafe that occupies a prime corner position on bustling Degraves St. It has friendly spruikers outside which I found kind of cute and not at all annoying.
I found myself immediately liking the place. It’s small but you don’t feel cramped in the slightest. It’s a little noisy but nice noisy not annoying noisy. It’s old style for sure. Maybe 80s or early 90s but again it all sort of fits together nicely somehow. To complete the picture, they were playing endearingly daggy music on the stereo today. Retro plus. No hip hop on here. I think I heard showtunes at one point.
I started with a long black which was quite good, certainly better than I’d anticipated. It was slightly bitter, but certainly rich, dark and substantive. I liked it. I hadn’t planned on eating but I liked the sound of the soup of the day, a minestrone, and quickly changed my mind. Again, against all expectations I found this was an absolutely delicious minestrone. It was a generous serve and very very tasty. It had heaps of flavour and plenty of veggies. The melted parmesan also added to my overall delight. The dish also came with a very generous serve of Turkish bread too. It was a terrific little meal. I think I’d rank it as the best minestrone I’ve since I used to get them from Maria’s in North Melbourne many years ago.
This was a lovely fun little stop. I had my doubts about the current 3.9 Zomato rating but the doubts were quickly dispelled. Recommended.
