Stellini…..a new place in CBD
Revisited on 23-Jun-10 I wanted to try some food here, and also see the place later in the morning, close to lunch break. Well very busy. I think we are on winter peak because everyday I ride my bicycle to the office I arrive with such a red nose that it seems I spent the night before at the local winery. →
Il solito posto…..the usual place, but for dinner (Iphone photo)
This is a typical Italian restaurant, I have been there once and I found it quite good though a bit expensive. I do not usually go too much at the Italian restaurants, probably because I expect Italian food, but somehow I get usually disappointed, not possibly because it is not good but most probably because it is not Italian, but →
Café Superfino…..super French (Iphone photo)
I have never really seen this little café till my good friend Neil from Scotland took me there. Neil was on vacation here in Melbourne, and probably he has got more time to explore, or most likely he did not take places for grant. This is a typical mistake we all do when we settle in a place, just going →
Brother Baba Budan, cool but…..
Finally, after so many tries, I could find an available seat at this little cool café. First of all, it is very cool and very grunge, in an area of Melbourne where there is the highest concentration of ties probably in Australia, maybe after Sydney CBD. It is indeed a bit weird to see typical office "penguins" (the tie reminds →
Captains of Industry, coffee and much more (Iphone photo)
This is still a secret in Melbourne, and I was just so lucky that a friend of mine took me there after lunch. Really hard to find it, no clear direction, no signals of coffee or shop, well there is, but anybody guess to understand where are you getting into. The shop/café is in Somerset Place, close to Brother Baba →
The Mess Hall, one of the best in CBD
I find always quite difficult to find a nice place in CBD where you can have a mix of good food, coffee in a pretty and charming café and adequate service. Which one of the four is less important, probably the service I must say, as long as they are polite and they do not have attitude, and some cafes →
Postal Hall, a tiny cafe in a busy street (Iphone photo)
I cannot say this is a secret café really, it was always there, not sure when they opened it but I remember it there for a long while. I was there a long while ago and back today. The same people serving the coffees, all with a smile. Back in the office I checked some comments about this café and →
Brood Box Cafe
Unfortunately closed in 2011....we are going to miss you!! _____________________________ Today I felt a bit arty and I was in CBD and I wanted a good coffee. Pretentious you may say, yes I was. There are lots of nice galleries around CBD, some with new artists, others with emerging ones, but coffee is not contemplated usually. I have been in exposition where →
