Cafe Melba, Vulcan Lane

Who wakes up at 8.45am on a Sunday?!


Well, ok I did. In any other circumstances Sundays are for stumbling out of bed with a horrible hangover. But this morning I hauled my sorry self out to eat 'breakfast'. (Until quite recently breakfast was a myth. Like unicorns.)

I really like Vulcan Lane. It felt very Melbournesque sitting by the window in Cafe Melba, and soon after our lattes arrived I was contented and at peace with the world.


Jian had a BAT on five grain toast. He chomped it down quite happily I thought.

The photo came out a bit dodgy here. Took it in a hurry because I wanted to eat. I had pancakes with bananas, bacon and maple syrup. The pancakes were nice and fluffy, the bacon just salty enough, the grilled bananas were very fragrant and the sweetness of the maple syrup topped everything off nicely (I liberally drizzled it on after the picture was taken). And yes I actually finished all of that.

I'd definitely recommend this place. Sit outside if it's not crazy windy or cold or get a table by the window if you're inside. Great service and food quality, although it is a bit pricey for sad poor students such as us. We did however use the Entertainment Book voucher so it actually came down to $23 for both of us, which is reasonable for $11.50 per person. Plus I'm still full at 3pm now so that's counting for two meals for me, each being $5.75 (I reiterate: sad poor student).
