    Really nice, but small limited seating French restaurant in Coogee. Wine corkage is $10 a bottle -…read morewhere the food went well with my surprised acquisition of a supposedly sold out Handpicked cellars collection 2014 yarra valley Pinot. I shared a entree which was a nicely done roasted beet root with creamy goat cheese. Then I had an excellent Normandy style veal while my friend ordered the beef bourguignon. The side of green beans was also fresh and flavorfully prepared - make a reservation - $35 per main and about $20 for entrées

    This is an awesome little French cafe, hidden away on Havelock St in Coogee…read more We went for breakfast last weekend and it was perfect. The decor both inside and out really reminds me of the cafes lining the boulevards in France. Now to the food - I ordered a cappuccino and a pain au chocolat and they were perfect. My pastry was crisp and buttery with warm chocolate inside. My partner chose the croque Monsieur and boy it looked intense and smelled divine. A ham and cheese sandwich dipped in beschamel and fried in cheese? Yes it lived up to the hype. The dinner menu also looks lovely and I'm glad to see there's a few vegetarian options on the menu. Definitely recommend going for breakfast or dinner! PS I went for dinner last night and the food and service was absolutely divine. Highly recommend cheese soufflé, truffle mash (oh lord still dreaming about that) and the Rosé wine.

    Woooaaahh!! I didn't quite expect this on Anzac parade, amoungst the paint stores. This is an…read moreamazing little café, stock full of so many different sweet treats, looks like you could try something different every day and never run out. It is a coffee shop, so there's the coffee to be had, but I'm more drawn in by what you can have with it; coffee macaroons and biscotti and pretzels and baklava and so on and so on, and it really does go on, its surpriseing how much they have. And I like the variety too, theres a window for huge elaborate cakes, and then another for more in-the-moment little cakes and strudels and deserts, and then theres a section that I think is ethnic cakes and deserts - this is where I found the baklava, along with a lot of other things I hadn't really heard of before. And its such a comfortable place to be, as well. The place is really spruced up and suave for a Maroubra café, very impressive really. Anyway, now I've discovered this place, I don't think I'll be cafeing anywhere else soon. This is my café of choice.

    Went here for the beef burger…read more Stick to the cakes and coffee. Burger was literally bathing in a sea of juice and grease on the board, no way you'd wanna pick it up and eat it. The cheese smelled like a kraft single slice and had been microwaved so that it soaked into the base of the fairly stale/firm bun. There was an entire solid slice of onion instead of a few rings. The pineapple was straight from the tin and the hole served as a swimming pool for some kind of BBQ sauce/juice. It came with a "calamari" ring which was really some kind of fishmeal ring. The basket of chips were battered and were unfortunately the highlight of the dish. The iced coffee I had was also ok.
