The Lowdown · AI digest
How we read reviews →Richmond's tiny toastie cafe. the Reuben locals call Melbourne's best.
A small, cosy cafe with communal-style indoor seating plus a compact outdoor spot, an open kitchen, and a constant lunchtime buzz that reviewers describe as busy but never unwelcoming.
Proper thick-cut house pastrami on the Reuben rather than thin deli slices, an open kitchen, dog-friendly seating, and prams accommodated despite the tight space.
The Reuben follows classic Jewish-deli technique with proper pastrami, sauerkraut and pickles rather than a simplified cafe version.
Portions and quality are seen as fair for the price, though a handful of reviewers were caught out by small unflagged extra charges (chilli sauce, a warmed croissant, added cheese).
