Located in Bundoora Square, Cafe Lucio appears to be a favorite for the locals. Writing this review at 10:30am on a Monday morning and the place is quite busy.
There is a lot of seating available both inside and out. It is a basic café by which you take a seat and look over the menu and order at the counter. All of the menus on the tables are very worn with the laminate almost completely coming apart.
When I arrived it wasn't too busy. After receiving my table number I proceeded to sit back down. I didn't have to wait long before my coffee was dumped on my table and the runner gone from sight. The coffee was not good, it tasted as if the coffee beans had been burnt. On the up side the food also didn't take long and I was presented with my Eggs Benedict with bacon. This wasn't the best meal I've had, but not the worst. The eggs were hot when I smooshed them open which is a plus, although they were slightly overdone and not as runny as I like them.
All in all, a little disappointed considering the obvious popularity of this cafe. The prices are reasonable and reflect the meals :) read more
