The Very Hungry Katerpilla
+4
I came for a pre-lunch lunch (not a good idea for the stomach, excellent idea for the tastebuds) and food was delicious.
Corned beef bialy with salted cabbage, cheese and mustard. (A bialy is like a bagel, but baked instead of boiled).
It was FREAKIN' BIALYCIOUS.
Run by the same guys that do Bourke Street Bakery so I should not be surprised yet was, at how amazing the bread in both our meals were; so fresh and crispy and crackled with each bite.
The filling was perfect in every way, best flavour combo. That salted cabbage!
The suckling pig roll with crackling, mustard pickles and dill sauce, again, perfect bread and the suckling pig was melting in the mouth, with thin, perfectly crackling... crackling.
I definitely preferred the corned beef bialy to this, as the bialy packed more flavour. This was beautiful but a bit too subtle for me, more seasoning on the pork, tangier pickles, stronger sauce. I like to be punched in the face. By food. Just to be clear. Please do not punch me in the face if you see me. Faultless cooking of the suckling pig though, so tender and melting and crispy and I got the most delicious creamy chunk of fat. Mmmm..
Honey, soy and banana smoothie was thick as and very nice, a meal in itself, really.
Watermelon, mint and ginger frappe was pretty and refreshing.
Run by the guys behind Bourke St Bakery, this open seating cosy nook is situated in a laneway which reminded me of the cafes in Melbourne. If you’re looking for quality food, friendly service and great value then Wilbur’s Place is just the place to be. The food here is rustic and there’s a homely feel to the place.
This place epitomises llankelly place. Small, few options but mixing it up all the time. Good local feel, same staff all the time who certainly know their menu and wine. It's the kind of place you go for a sneaky midweek feed and end up downing 2 bottles! Oh and it's really cheap!
