The Espressionist is a lovely café located at Yarra’s Edge in the Docklands. The venue currently offers a café experience in a takeaway capacity and has also turned into a makeshift greengrocer. The cafe menu features a range of brunch staples including healthy Acai Bowls and beautiful salads. In the evening, the venue offers a range of takeaway dinner options with its introduction of The Bait Shop by The Espressionist serving old school fish and chips with a flair as well as ready-to-heat meals.
Paying homage to espresso and expressionism, The Espressonist is part café and part art gallery. Think sleek lines, minimalistic touch and a little nook featuring plush pink chairs, greeneries and of course, art pieces.
The menu is divided into options such as “eggs”, “cold”, “burgers”, “salad” and “sweet tooth”, and I won’t blame you for wanting to get one from each category. My friend and I chose the Asian Noodle Salad with grilled chicken, Fried Chicken Burger and the Lemon Meringue. Healthy, naughty and nice – all great choices.
Brimming with clean and punchy flavours was the Asian Noodle Salad, and the grilled chicken was seasoned very well with spices and herbs. The Fried Chicken Burger comprised of a thick and tender piece of fried chicken, crispy bacon and mouth-watering aioli sauce. Ending our meal on a sweet note, the Lemon Meringue was a fruity and tarty creation, light enough to finish by oneself.
A gorgeous spot that is well worth visiting!
We absolutely enjoyed our visit here. We had a lovely brunch with the best views. We visited on the weekend so the area around is not too busy, and we loved having a relaxing time enjoying the good food and weather.
The smoothie bowl was ao good and refreshing, and their burger was great too. Don’t forget to complete your meal with their great selection of juices!
