The staff and chef looked after us so well I had an incredible baby shower and did not have to worry about dietary requirements or anything. The vibe of the cafe is gorgeous with all the plants and pink tones. Will definitely be back

8. Mandoline

Exceptional(0)

$$$$

• French • Elsternwick

Mandoline Elsternwick is a relaxed and casual cafe along Glen Huntly Road in Melbourne serving up a delicious blend of Australian and French dishes for breakfast and lunch. Also offering expertly made coffee and moreish pastries, you’ll be in cafe food heaven at this spot, trust us. Keep an eye out for breakfast options such as spicy shakshuka and eggs Benedict topped with slow-cooked beef brisket and corn croquettes, as well as lunch dishes that include seafood stew, cassoulet cooked with smoked pork belly, sausage and duck confit and burgers filled with all the trimmings. Popular for good reason, this French inspired cafe in Elsternwick does tend to fill up so booking ahead is highly recommended.

Great service and food was fantastic - driving past you don’t think much of it but it was an outstanding meal and lovely bottle of wine too. Will be back

10. Bon Matin

• French • Richmond

We had an excellent experience at Bon Matin - a small bistro hidden away under an apartment block by the Yarra River. We ordered the chicken liver pâté and Blue Cheese Gougère for entree, both exceptional and the Duck á la orange for main - delicious! Perfectly sized dishes for French cuisine. Service was friendly and unobtrusive. We will definitely return. This bistro should be much busier than it is. A real hidden gem.
