Once upon a time, not so very long ago... Luca Haus was a furniture store about eight doors away…read morefrom its current location. Their rent went up and so they relocated and evolved into a specialty food store and cafe combo. Whilst my house has a few pieces from the old incarnation, I'm happy they made the transition. Personally, the food and coffee served here does very little for me. On that front I'd be inclined to give it two stars. But the specialty food store part... well that's another matter. Akin to a store in Queen Victoria Market's deli section, they have a gorgeous selection of cheeses, dips and other bits and pieces you won't find elsewhere - black rice, special sauces, fresh pasta, Bocastle gluten free pies to take home, fresh bread and coffee beans. Yummo.

Fabulous breakfast! Best french toast I have EVER had. And the service was so friendly and quick…read more Much appreciated after spending ten minutes sitting in a cafe down the road and not even being offered a menu. We walked out and were super pleased to find Luca Haus! Their range of food is brilliant and the pantry stuffers on sale are amazingly tempting. The hot sauce range is fabulous.

Cannot recommend these guys enough. Sonia and Remi are just lovely and always greet you with a smile. Will continue to support this wonderful business.

There's nothing like biting into a creamy custard apple or juicy papaya in winter. Instant mental transportation to the fair and dreamy isles. 2. The cheapest avocados in the western world. Last week I bought 12 perfect avocados for 7 dollars. This should be enough to make you drop everything and run to Footscray but if it isn't, I give you number 3.... 3. Stuffed tofu (legendary) 4. Those little Vietnamese crepes with minced pork and fish sauce. I like to bring them to work and annoy all my sour puss co workers with their delicious stank. 5. Bags of limes for 2 dollars. It's constantly margaritaville at my house now.

This is one of the great market experiences of Melbourne. Vietnamese sellers yelling out "$1.99"…read moreand monotone sounds just to get attention. There are Fruit samples to try in abundance and the hustle and bustle of people pushing through the crowd. This is one of the best places in Melbourne to get super cheap fresh veggies and fruit, plus harder to find Asian ingredients (that are not stocked elsewhere). Go in the late afternoon on Saturday or Sunday for some bargains and the big push and shove of eager shoppers!

Been to this place a few times and am disappointed. Purchased fresh garlic and when i got it home i…read morediscovered it was old a dried out. best before labels on Gnocchi where the dates had passed had other stickers placed over them to hide them the fact where past the date. some great product however care factor seems to be low and quality is rapidly sliding down. i guess thats what happens when you get chinese running an italian inspired grocery store

So I suppose I am a self confessed foodie which I think is hipster code for a bit of a piggy but…read morehey foodie sounds good so let's keep that. The west has amazing fresh produce and the Asian markets in footscray are second to none. What was lacking was all of those little yummy wanky luxuries one likes in their cupboard. There was nowhere to get amazing dips, French butters and assorted cold pressed juices etc - you get my drift? Along comes this gem and I can say that my hikes across the river or westgate to Thomas Dux for Phillipa's hot cross buns are now over. If it is on trend and food well they have it or they will get it for you. My tip is to check out their specials table as there usually is a winner or three there and buy some of their peanut butter and indulge in buying some ham jam for your baguettes for lunch. Now I am just fooding on in this review but seriously this place is worth a shop at before running that dinner party for all those northern suburbs peeps who have "ventured" over to your house for dinner!

Popped round to fox with a friend for dinner and the food was DELICIOUS. Genuinely the best pizza,…read morecarbonara and sticky date pudding I've ever had. I was so distracted by how great the food looked and smelled I forgot to take photos of the entree and the mains but holy smokes they were divine! The place has such a chill and relaxing vibe, and the service was absolutely outstanding. They're super friendly, and super helpful, clearly run by a super close knit team I even had the privilege of chatting to the new owners who have just taken over and I'm so excited to have gotten to hear about all the plans for this place! I'm so excited to see where this place goes! If you're around the Footscray area go say hi!

This place legit makes one of the best pastas i've had in ages. And its in Footscray! A brave move…read morebut well worth it. This place has a lot of promise and i reckon is going to do super well. Fox in the Corn is a beer bar that specializes in pasta. Beer and pasta??? Sign me up! There is a HUGE list of craft beers to pick from its overwhelming lol and all the reason why you'd go back! They have some wine as well and house sodas that you can request to have some vodka or other basic spirit to put in. There are 3 types of pastas to pick from and a good assortment of different sauces to pick from. My partner and i had fettuccine in creamy mushroom and leek sauce & spinach and ricotta ravioli in basil pesto and garlic panko sauce. They were both to die for. The pasta was cooked perfectly and each of the sauces had their own unique zing to it as was oh so creamy and buttery. They had a pork belly broth sauce that i so will be going back to try!!! If pasta is too heavy for you they also offer cheese and meat boards - again i am super keen to go back and try. Shout out to who i think is the owner - he was super nice, super helpful, super enthusiastic and clearly proud of the establishment. Was always on the ball with making sure the customers were right and was keen to hear on feedback of any sort. He also informed us that eventually they will be able to allow customers to buy beers to takeaway! Do yourself a favor - if you're ever in the area and don't feel like an 8bit burger then give this place a shot! I'll def be a returning customer. Good work guys!
