They weren't open until 11:30 and he was already starving so we popped around the corner to pie face to get a bite instead. I must say, the lamb and Rosemary sausage roll is to die for and while my roast chicken and cheese panini was good, after being toasted, was still cold in the centre. The server was as unenthusiastic as you can possibly get and appeared to be bothered by our custom. The two stars is for the sausage roll alone.

If you are American and visiting Australia and are missing the greasy taste of fast food, or you…read moreare just someone who wants cheap food, pie face is the place to go! The menu is pretty simple, prices are as cheap as you will find them and the food is disgustingly delicious. As you eat every bite, you will question why you are putting this in your body it before you know it, the food is gone and you are seriously contemplating on getting another. Let's face it, you know what you are getting when you come to pie face. I would only recommend healthier options but that would contradict the top. Overall, pie face is great when you need something cheap and greasy. Period.

Pure Pie is pure slice of heaven!…read more If you like your pie flaky with the chunky fillings and richest gravy, may I introduce you to Pure Pie. I was brought here by my brother who swear that this is THE place for pies in Melbourne. I'm happy to say it did not disappoint. The shop is perfectly small, with just a couple of seats and one communal table. Noticed that this is more of a grab & go place. They got, however, the homiest ambiance I've ever felt in a pie shop. Not to mention the humble and friendly service. The pies we picked: * Braised beef, red wine & rosemary (best seller!) * Chicken mushroom, tarragon * Pork, Apple and fennel sausage rolls. Strong flavors, flaky-buttery crust and chunky delicious meat... mmm! At $9.50, they are not exactly cheap treats, but these meaty morsels totally hit the spot on Melbourne's gloomy winter day. Pure Pie, such a gem... Thank you for coloring my day!

To find truly amazing pies and sausage rolls, you typically need to leave the city and head to an…read moreold fashioned country bakery. Unless you go to Pure Pie in Port Melbourne. Best pies in Melbourne. I'm calling it! They have lots of flavours, but I can't go past the beef, rosemary and red wine. Huge chunks of free range steak tumble out with each bite and you won't even need a knife to cut it. They're not the cheapest pies in town, but for good reason. The family pie pushes the $20 mark, but provides 4 good serves of pie. Friends and I once had a pub debate about whether or not family pies were a rip off, because you just got less pastry. The Pure Pie family pies have a huge flakey crust, so there's no arguments about whether or not you have been stitched up here. Although their single serve pies would be pretty freaking amazing too if you weren't keen on sharing. Their take home packs are perfect to have ready to go in the fridge for one of Melbourne's drearier Autumn or Winter days.

Essentially this is a bakery, similar to the ones that can be found in any suburban area in Australia. The beauty of course, is that this is in the city, in one of the hippest areas that caters to city workers, locals and tourists alike. It makes me glad to think that tourists trying these goods for the first time dont have to resort to luke warm 7-Eleven offerings, just because they are staying in the CBD. There is now a quality better option. My favourite? Steak and mushroom. Or maybe bacon and egg. Actually, Im partial to any with cheese in them.... I guess you really cant go to wrong.

Proper cup not takeaway 3.5's…read more I've been to this Michel's once on a different occasion then today (Aug 11th.2016) and they had always made the drinks and served in a proper cup for sit down purposes. This time I mentioned I was sitting inside... and it came to me in a paper cup as you notice from my pic. ..... Although, I found that the owner was very understanding.. I suggested that next time to consider patron suggestion and to think of what needs to be considered next time. Their deli case has quite a few amazing cakes for celebratory parties! And a few people had been their at the counter putting cake orders in. So can't be all bad.

Michel's Patisserie has been with me since I was at school, when I would finish up my day at…read moreschool, get on the train back to the 'hood, and drop by Michel's for a sausage roll or something equally unhealthy, loiter at the local shopping centre for a bit then go home. That was a different time and a different Michel's but the one in Barkly Square in pretty much the same deal, and it feels just as naughty eating one of their sausage rolls or chicken pies as it used to. The problem is Michel's at Barkly Square is in the thoroughfare between my grocery store and supermarket and one end of the shopping centre, and the Asian supermarket at the other end of the shopping centre, which means I have to walk past the hot food counter at Michel's to get anywhere. And I know you're not meant to go food shopping when you're really hungry, but that is usually the trigger for me - hungry, no food at home, go to supermarket. So yes, I do sometimes let temptation win over steely resolve and I'll get a mini sausage roll to keep me company on my walk from Coles to the Asian supermarket. It doesn't taste anything special, it is certainly not gourmet, but it does remind me of finishing up at school for the day.

Yummm. This is a…read moresmall bakery shop. It has always been really packed especially during office lunch hours and I'd take it as a good sign. Looked at the menu for pies. Pricing at $3-3.80 each, their meat pies are considerably fantastic. My recommendation? Steak & Mushroom pie. Creamy mushroom with chunks of meat. It's an absolute finger-licking-good pie. And it's good for your wallet too :) I'd give 4 stars to that!

Antipasto and dips vie for my attention. Fresh pasta and sauces live next to pate and salad. It is a total assault on your senses... wiping away drool now. But Emerald Hill Deli in South Melbourne Market takes the experience to another level entirely. Yes it has all the usual deli offerings but then it goes further. Visit the packed cheese room and I know you will agree. Salivate over the freshly made sweets and slices, the range is huge and every single one looks heavenly. I singled out the huge custard filled vanilla slices ($3.80) for my sweet fantasies. Then there are the freshly made dips, gourmet pizza's and all the high quality small goods you could ask for. In the unlikely event they don't have what you need, they will get it in for you! Yes really. The staff are friendly, fast and more then happy to help you out. My delicatessen expectations have not only been met but surpassed. All other deli's take note.

It was already full by this stage and had a constant stream of locals grabbing donuts for the morning. We ordered a ham and cheese croissant, egg and bacon bun and a coffee. The coffee was fantastic. Could not fault. The bun and croissant were delicious, the scramble in the bun was especially good. We sat was a little watching the steady stream come and go before grabbing some take away baked goods. We got all 3 donuts flavours with the favourite being hot cross bun donut. Donut dough with sultanas and filled with custard. Amazing! We also grabbed a choc chip marshmallow cookie. The size of my hand and absolutely delicious. I could live off these! Moderate room inside to sit and a few tables out. All the food is able to be taken away and it also runs as a standard bakery with beautiful artisan breads. We will definitely be back soon and it's now our go to place to pick up treats when visitors come over.
