The thing was that when I came here we didn't have all that much time so I just grabbed a take-away tea and ran to catch the train, but looking around I really wanted to spend some more time here. Oh, and the staff were awesome, which is probably why I want to come back.

The TFC (Templestowe Fried Chicken) Sliders were great and my little girl liked them too. I probably over ordered when I got the Yuzu Benedict as well. I feel like I ordered a watermelon juice with mint because I remember it being a super hot day as we sat in their outdoor area with my dog. Very easy spot to come and go from or meet up with friends, ample parking around too. A hidden gem if you want a menu with a difference.

The patio is wonderful on a sunny day for coffee or lunch (canine companions permitted on the patio) - a stunning setting a throw back to southern Europe where lazy lunches are order of the day.

The beef was medium, beautifully juicy and tasty, with lashings of cheese melting from the sides. A hint of pickle lasted with each mouthful and the bun was deliciously crispy and sweet.
