If you find yourself in the quiet town of Rye, perhaps before or after a relaxing day at the hot…read moresprings, stop by the Imola Red Cafe. It's a lovely spot with a great menu and friendly service. I enjoyed sipping on a well-made mocha while waiting for my food. Many locals stopped in (a good sign) to get coffee and breakfast. I also perused the many sweet and savoury treats at the takeaway counter. There was a big selection of Aussie and Kiwi food to keep you happy. For breakfast, I dined on the Imola Eggs, which is their unique take on the Eggs Benedict. Savoury bacon sits atop english muffins with poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce. The twist is the spicy Italian marinara that adds depth and even more flavour to a classic dish. It was a joyous celebration!

2.3 for lunch. Service was painfully, agonizingly slow…read more Cheap is such a relative word!! After scanning the Urbanspoon reviews of this breakfasty/brunch/sandwichy joint right across the street from the beach, I would have expected cheap prices as well. But $16 USD for a lunch bubble and squeak (tasted fine, but not traditional at all), or a burger and fries for over what I would have expected to pay, a few smoothies, and cresting well over $30 for lunch. The sun was strong in this resort time, when we hit it up on a weekday... less people, more private feel. Easy drive down from the St Kilda area. We sat outside, and there are about 3 tables available (most taken, surprisingly!). The quality of the food overall was fair, portions were about average. Price was still little surprising. But easy to find, along the few eating establishments to choose from along the same strip (did not want souvlaki, or charcoal chicken here). Not too terribly much to look at it except cars passing by the highway lane.. It's a dinko seaside town, after all. Can't quite see Port Philip Bay across the way, and that was a crying shame.

Sunday brunching there was an interesting experience, by far the best choice on the strip and the only venue with more than one table occupied. We think many of those there had at one point been dissapointed by the Conti (in nearby Sorrento) the night before. I guess for the fact that they seem chilled out, my major beef (pardon the pun) was the statement "No alterations for when we are busy" also $3 for extras is a bit rich. I had the breakfast burger which was good yet messy and tried some of my friend's Hollandaise Sauce. Super average and named after some random person. ... Probably won't be back!

I've never seen staff behave in such a manner. when I wrote review the owner replied that I shouldn't have brought my grandchildren to an adult restauran. he completely missed the point as it was myself and granddaughter coming back from the rest room when she nearly ran into me! not my granddaughter behaviour which I must say is extremely polite and well mannered. she isn't the problem the overworked staff member is! May I suggest you choose another restaurant to be completely safe from being run over by staff! the owner also needs to recognise the complaints/reviews are there to improve their restaurant and accept the feedback not deflect to the customer.

It's on the corner, tucked in near the beach and there's lots of free parking. The menu is simple with a range of hearty choices for vegetarian and meat eaters, with good bread options.

Only when we got home did we realize it was only half the food- the person ringing up our order had not realized there was a whole second bag of fish, and had not charged or given it to us. We called them up and it was still waiting on the counter. Went back to collect it and they apologized profusely, said the fish was on the house and threw in some extra chips and scallops. When I said they didn't need to do that, and I was very happy to pay, they smiled and said the owner/manager would not let them take our money and apologized again. Excellent meal, fish was very light and tasty and fresh. Chips were just right. Best fish and chips I've had on the peninsula, and they went above and beyond in terms of service. I will always have fish and chips from there if I am anywhere on the peninsula. Very happy with them and will recommend to everyone.
