Gourmet Girl - Boroondara

One of our team recommended Gourmet Girl as it was close to our meeting venue, and she knew the place well. Our group of six came for lunch, ordering mostly focaccias, one a ham, cheese, tomato toastie, and me a breakfast bruschetta. All the meals...were generous in size, the focaccias with salad added, mine with a huge serve of mushrooms as well. The teas ordered came in huge pots, freshly made with leaves, none of those tiny hardly one cup teapots! It’s obviously a popular place as it was packed inside (air conditioned too, and the tables outside in the 39degree heat empty! , but with the wooden floors and chairs quite noisy, and it was sometimes hard to hear each other. But then again, that might be due to our age! All of our group quite enjoyed their meals, but the bread the bruschetta came on was a bit soggy for me. Nonetheless, overall this cafe was very good, and worth a return visit. It’s licensed too, so you could have a glass with your meal if you wanted. And there was a play table for littlies as well, useful if the place was not full, but today crowded out by the large numbers.

This place is lovely with the outdoor area but if only they'd use Bonsoy soy milk for their coffees for people who don't drink cow's milk. The soy they use tastes awful. Please use Bonsoy and I'll be back often!

Great place outside under Tress unbrellas. Food, good coffee. But the staff constantly moved chairs and tables to scratch the metal legs on the concrete for reservations!! Enough you're coming back.

Well to see, strictly vivid governs in place that is not easy to manage. Great brunch with light snack and coffee.

Great place to catch up with friends. Sat outside among the beautiful large trees, had a nice lunch, very friendly staff would recommend a visit. There were 3 of us and we all enjoyed our food, we were happy to go back
