The thing is that the staff were actually pretty good, and they made some absolutely delicious pancakes, and well as a pretty decent pot of tea as well. In a way it was fortuitous that I found this place since I was wandering around looking for something to eat, and the welcome that I received was pretty good as well. It's not the most convenient of places, being in the suburbs and all that, but I guess that is why it had some charm.

Love, love, love it here. I came some distance to try Shanklin Cafe out after noting its lofty…read morerating and excellent reputation. These things are very well deserved. This is a very fine bistro restaurant that I'd score an easy 4.6 taking account of all key measures, food, service and decor. A top place. The excellent 50c had a superb experience here today. It was his choice of venue so he may have to be upgraded to 75c given how could Shanklin is. Shanklin is a beautiful warm pleasingly designed space with decorated in a very pleasant modern style. We were very happy to escape the cool, wet and windy Melbourne morning and we happily set ourselves up inside. The soft well chosen music playing helped make for a comfortable and cosy atmosphere. We couldn't have been happier. Various earlier reviewers have praised the staff here. It's easy to see why. They're great. I received a lovely smiling greeting as soon as I entered. The pleasant and attentive standards didn't waver through the whole experience. The staff also looked to be enjoying themselves which makes for a nice workplace as well as delighted customers. I started with a beautiful coffee, a long black with accompanying mini jug of cold milk which was made to an excellent level. I took advice on food, due to difficulty of choosing between the Shanklin breakfast - essentially the big brekkie - the baked eggs and the signature dish, Eggs and Shanklish. I chose the last which is scrambled eggs with fresh herbs, cherry tomatoes, spring onion, wilted spinach and mint. I added bacon and avocado as well. Cracking dish. Lovely flavours. Immensely satisfying. Lovely texture, beautiful flavours, generous serve. It met every need. 75c had the Portobello Mushroom which sounded and looked fantastic. He declared it superb with an authority that excluded all argument. We shared a Madfish sparking over our brunches. Delicious it was too. It went very nicely with the food. I can why people like me travel a little out of the way to get to Shanklin. It's a very, very good cafe bistro. Everything operates in impressive harmony. That's why it was buzzing today. The rating captures Shanklin accurately. It's a great place. Highly recommended.

I ordered the Pumpkin Risotto and asked if they could add some seafood to it? I was told they don't adjust the menu at all. The meal was out in 5 mins, same amount of time as it took to make my coffee. The food was lukewarm, not hot. The meal was very salty and the texture of the rice was mushy, that of baby food. Large servings, they don't do smaller servings, well they can but it will cost the same. The menu reads well and good variety for everyone. The coffee was nice, but it was only warm too.

Sometimes it's good to go to a place like this just to help gauge how good much of the rest of Melbourne's food scene is. So, how was it then. I'd say just ok and largely endorse the current low or mid range rating. I'd give it 2.7, just above a pass. It's a pleasant open cafe/bistro with a modern fit out. It was doing a very good trade when we arrived and we were told we might have to wait up to 20 minutes for our meals. The menu looked ok with some reasonable sounding dishes on it. We were served quickly and pleasantly. I started with a coffee which was average but ok, I thought. No prizes but no no major problems either. I had the chilli scrambled eggs for main. It had decent heat but with an unusual spice or spices which left a slightly odd after taste. On the plus size the dish was moderately well presented and was a decent size. There was a good serve of bacon as I'd added that as an extra. The grilled chilli on top of the dish was a nice touch. The egg itself in the dish was cooked reasonably well. I also tried the bruschetta. I've never encountered one like it. The tomato was cut into long slices instead of being diced. The bread (not toast) barely had any oil on it so it hadn't softened and was excessively chewy. The method did not make it easy or pleasant to eat. On the plus side one of our party had the arancini balls and enjoyed them. Overall, it's an average place for me with fairly prosaic food. But, it was a pleasant and convenient place in the middle of Westfield Doncaster to prop and have a nice catch up.

The portions are enormous and it's hard to not over do it because you can't stop eating. We feel like we didn't even scratch the surface with the food options here despite an otherwise small menu because we kept seeing a parade of the most beautiful plating we'd ever seen. Frankly this place should have a 6 month waiting list to even get a reservation but we walked in and we're immediately seated both times even tho it was clearly busy and many servers were running around keeping things moving.
