Skip everything else and go straight for the salad bar! They have every ingredient under the sun and hand toss everything together to create your masterpiece. I’m a regular for falafel with everything!
Pellaroma is more of a hidden gem at Freshwater place. Not consistently busy which I find surprising as the coffee is awesome and reasonably priced. Service is very friendly and while we haven't tried too many items on the menu, those we have tried were yum. Thumbs up for the perfectly poached eggs on the Gone Fishing breakfast meal and the pancakes. We will be back for more!
Exceptional Service. As you would expect in freshwater place - this cafe primarily services take away coffee and lunch crowd with plenty of space for local workers to enjoy a meal away from their desk.
We purchased a meal voucher to Pellaroma planning to treat our young sons (2&4) to breakfast in the city.
Given the business of the venue we did not expect our needs to be so well catered for.
WOW - our boys were so SPOILT - staff were attentive without request - moving tables - extra napkins - serving the pancake stack we ordered for them to share in spectacular fashion on individual plates - a parting gift of lolly bags (quiet permission sought.)
I’ve never seen my busy four year old clean a plate so quickly – delicious.
George and his team really exceeded all expectations - thank-you.
axdn12 - if you don't have time to do a little research before you buy a voucher don't buy it.
Great range of hot meals that change daily. Good flavours, variety and prices. Also a wonderful range of fresh salads to choose from. Good service from George and his team!
Good place to get away when you need to and have a good value meal. Coffee is one of the better ones round the area. They could be a little more creative with the menu and mix it up a bit more. It can be a bit repetitive sometimes despite it always being very good quality I find.

After moving back to Melbourne recently one of the first challenges was finding a good lunch spot. Having worked in Sydney CBD options were abundant but coming to Southbank initially showed some cause for concern.
Enter Pellaroma.
Now I'm only on my third meal there but already it's a favourite. They seem to serve a wide variety of meals but I feel they differentiate themselves by premium service and quality food.
As a Chinese I've eaten a tonne of rice in the past but honestly there is something magical about the steamed rice coming out of Pellaroma. It's simply better than most places I've eaten at as it was perfectly white and fluffy. Couple that with their delicious butter chicken or chilli con carne and it was a fantastic satisfying lunch.
Sure their prices cost a little more ($11 instead of sub $10) than the rest of the cheaper lunch spots, but was it worth it? Yes.
Now you CAN put a price on quality food and friendly service; it's only $11 at Pellaroma.
Give it a try if you're ever around Freshwater Place.
Good coffee and decent breakfast - friendly service to go with it too!
Great eatery. Unfortunately, it's hidden away and doesn't have a shop facing the main road.
