    Buttery toasty carbs combined with oozy melty cheese - what's not to love??!? There must be some…read morebiological jackpot that is triggered when you combine these two: match made in heaven! Instant drool fest ensues. This lovely little cart in the middle of Prahran market had quite a gathering of cheese lovers gathered around. Not hard to see why! Choose from 3 grilled cheese toasties (Fondue, pimento and American), raclette (meat or vego specials of the day) or on the weekend the special pasta tossed in the giant cheese wheel before serving. Opted for the fondue grilled cheese toasty ($11): oozy and garlicky, instant cholesterol booster. Added a little chilli oil to mine and it really took it to another level of amazing. Also got a raclette ($13)- vegie one for the day was with Shitake mushrooms and potatoes. DELICIOUS!!! Arteries must be congealing but totally worth it. Pimp up your cheesy goodness with the selection of hot sauces or chilli oil to your liking. Also: payment by card accepted - a definite PLUS given so many food stalls in the market are cash only. Definitely worth a visit, and will be coming back soon!!!

    By far the best cheese toasties in Melbourne. Far from ordinary maker and monger make their own…read morecheese making this an artisanal experience. The American, The flaming Ruben and Pimento are all favourites of mine. A guilty pleasure, you won't be disappointed, a cheese lovers heaven

I must be honest and say I was a bit iffy about going to a milk bar for brunch. I enjoyed the rustic decoration and laid back environment as I sipped on my chai latte that was perfectly made to suit my taste buds as the rest of the group enjoyed their coffees. For grubb we feasted on the homemade sausage roll, middle eastern eggs with bacon and a chicken wrap. Everyone enjoyed their meals and agreed we would come back to visit again. We then trotted off to find some nerf guns to rid us of the tranquility and energy we had gained from the visit to the Milk Bar.

I wasn't in the best headspace when I went in there, rushing between open for inspections I was after a coffee and something to eat (take away) quickly. So I ordered one of their prepared sandwiches with the intention that it should only take a couple of minutes. Sadly I'd finished my coffee before my sandwich was even ready. This is the type of place that you need to be slow. Enjoy the beautiful looking (and tasting) food on offer. Don't do what I did and rush in rush out. Laze over the paper and enjoy your brunch. I'll be back to do just that.

The coffee is cracking, with the house espresso blend from Proud Mary and a rotating list of single origins from the who's who of coffee world - Market Lane, Seven Seeds et al. which you can enjoy as a pour over or siphon. The menu is, well, delightful. Seriously, it made my heart feel all squishy and happy as I browsed through. Maybe it was the delicate logo and pretty typeface (font nerd), the seasonal menu ingredients (broad beans picked from the cafe's veggie garden anyone?) or perhaps the non-standard cafe ingredients (duck eggs, manchego, black pudding? Yes please!)... Either way, my face was all happiness as I sat in the sun deciding what to eat at this barely two week old cafe. I settled on 'Smoked trout, soft boiled egg, avocado and herb salad on sourdough' ($18) and it was everything I'd hoped it would be. High quality ingredients put together without apparent fuss, but a whole lot of love. The smoked trout lay sexily amongst chunks of avocado and a soft boiled egg, cut open to reveal its bright orange oozing centre, the herb salad (complete with another non-standard cafe ingredient - fennel pollen) scattered over the top. A winning dish and one I'd be keen to have again next time if it weren't for the pea and bacon hash, the bircher muesli or the prawn and scallop ravioli that sit high on my "must try" list. If I were going to move to the suburbs and have the white picket fence, I'd move to Kew just to be close to Ora.
