AI Summary

South Yarra's all-day Chapel St destination. brilliant brunch, steak nights, and bottomless pasta

A beautifully designed Chapel Street venue with natural light, indoor plants, folding doors that open to the street, and a curated, club-like feel. Equally at home as a morning coffee stop, a weekend brunch spot, or a Friday night out. the vibe shifts confidently across dayparts.

Bottomless pasta nights (Wednesday pasta nights at $28pp); Thursday steak night specials; seasonal menu that updates regularly; tiramisu latte as a signature drink; house-made focaccia with kelp butter; open folding doors for alfresco feel; cheesecake dessert praised as exceptional.

Modern Australian kitchen with European influences. not cuisine-specific, but the menu is elevated above standard café fare with dishes like squid ink pasta, lamb skewers, and spatchcock.

The bottomless pasta at $28pp and steak night specials are standout value for a Chapel Street address. À la carte pricing divides reviewers. some feel portion sizes are small for the price, others consider it fair given location and quality.
