Les Bistronomes recently move from Braddon into the Campbell shops. There are secluded seating areas which can be made more private by drawing the curtains closed.

Wildflour is located in the middle of Fyshwick (taking over from what was Remy’s Bakery), an artisan bakery and cafe. It looks exactly the same though the display cabinet is a lot more appealing with a big range of cakes and tarts as well as hot pies.

(Tip: Lunch is usually cheaper than dinner for the same […] Read more…
I’m a sucker for baked eggs. When I know an eatery makes great baked eggs, it’s difficult to order anything else. Hardware Societe is another eatery that I try to visit every time I’m in Melbourne. Mainly because of its ridiculously awesome baked eggs. Considering it’s a French-influenced eatery, it’s no wonder I like it. […] Read more…
