Brunswick Foodstore - Melbourne

3.5<br/ Mid week lunch.<br/ Very efficiently greeted as soon as we walked through the door.<br/ Nothing too complicated on the menu with a bias towards Middle Eastern inspired dishes. A specials board displayed additional offerings.<br/ We decided on The Protein Bowl with Grilled Chicken and the Thyme Mushrooms.<br/ Both dishes were excellent.<br/ Good value.<br/

First impressions alway count, walking into this beautiful space and then opening the menu with so much on here i want but went for the trusted Avo Smash and glad i did. Beautifully balanced with salty creamy fetta, chargrilled broccolini and sweet pickled beetroot and the toasted macadamia was a nice touch. I have noticed a trend recently of one big piece and one little piece of bread, and because the bread was so awesome, i felt cheated!! My friend enjoyed the house made sweet potato waffle with smoked salmon. Last impression are critical, no splitting of the bill on weekends, come on are you serious! We are becoming a cashless society, some places always split but others resist, this is not good customer service and extremely inconvenient.

Great variety and a lovely selection of things to eat, which made it difficult to choose one thing! The servings are quite large and the service is friendly and approachable. Lovely, vibrant food that is picture perfect. The mushrooms, olives and hummus were the clear favourites on the mezze platter. The meatballs had good flavour but just needed a touch more seasoning. The sauce however was lovely!

One of my locals and go to cafes for many years. Food is consistently good as is the coffee. It’s a large space so you’ll always find a seat even when it’s busy. My go dish for breakfast is their babaganoush with poached eggs and avocado salsa. For lunch it’s a toss between the crispy calamari or the vegetarian mezze plate.

Always love coming here there's something for everyone on the menu even though I have my go to most of the time, the high open ceilings give an inviting and uncluttered atmosphere that feels breezy, and the staff are always attentive and friendly.
