Go check out Taste on Sussex Lane at the Westpac plaza (275 Kent St) if you work in the CBD. It’s opened by the same owners as Taste on Foveaux, and it is a combined Restaurant, Bakery, Bar and Sandwich take-away. The French colonial inspired decor makes it a really welcoming escape to the bustling food court outside. They serve vietnamese styled baguette sandwiches at the take-away and French food in the restaurant. My thai sausage (they look a little like dense chilli meat balls) baguette with julienned vegetables and vietnamese dressing was to die for – the crispy crust with extremely soft bread, makes it one of my favorite sounds one can make as they bite in.
[edit] Went back for breakfast – Toby’s Estate Coffee (sooo good) and a baguette toast with jam and butter: only $4! Tick again. I LOVE this place. It’s my new favorite place… everytime I imagine opening my own restaurant, it is EXACTLY a concept like this. Get there early to see the dough rising in the oven, and the pastry chefs piping cream onto delectable pastries…

i LOVE this place! not quite the $3.00 rolls you get far out west, but the best you can get in the CBD. i’m a melbourne coffee fiend and am continually throwing out piss weak watered milk here. can you suggest some of your favourite caffeine spots? do you drink coffee?
@minxitup - the coffee at Taste is the best I’ve had so far in the city too, or across the road at Campo’s!
@minxitup - Mecca ( King st) . Single origin roaster ( off Elizabeth St up sorta near Central station)
