Q11
303 Coventry Street
South Melbourne VIC 3205
What does this enigma mean? Q11, even the owner seemed puzzled!
Beatnik, Rastafarian, poetic, were all adjectives that popped into my mind as I entered this throwback café, nestled in a bustling cafe strip across form South Melbourne Market.
I half expected to find Cat Stevens or Leonard Cohen hanging out there, […]
Antica Gelateria Del Corso
161 Collins St
Melbourne VIC 3000
Expectant, to say the least!
Impressed, Yes!
Satisfied, well almost!
What a glorious café, truly well designed and beautiful, a real showpiece of Melbourne’s café scene.
Three levels of glorious Italian architecture and Ice-cream heaven, I believe it actually won an interior design/architecture award a couple of years back.
Literally the name means, […]

Café GRECO European Grill
@ Crown CASINO
8 Whiteman Street
Southbank 3006
Melbourne, Australia
Caffe’ Greco, est. 1760, or so the famous motif goes, in the window at the famous Roman Coffee House at 86 Via Condotti.
What relation this has to the two namesakes in Melbourne, I’m not too sure, either way Café Greco @ Crown certainly has made it’s […]
Noisette Boulangerie Café
84 Bay Street
Port Melbourne VIC 3207
Little nut is the English translation of Noisette.
And frankly, you’d have to be, not to give this place a go.
It definitely has a certain je-ne-sais-quoi all of its own.
From the intimate lighting, the quaint Parisian background music to the glass-walled kitchen/prep area, it is definitely a delight, ‘c’est […]
The Middle Bar & Cafe’
22 Armstrong Street, MIDDLE PARK
VIC, AUSTRALIA
In the immortal words of Stealer’s Wheel: ‘Stuck in THE MIDDLE with you.’
Well to be quite frank I was anything but stuck.
I was amazed, mystified even captivated, anything but just stuck.
But I guess these other adjectives don’t fit as well……
Anyway, what a delight.
Definitely worth a […]
