Top Paddock Cafe - Richmond

This is my favourite cafe not only in Melbourne but the world! Thr hotcake is the dish I always get!!! If I was on death row this would be my last meal! The best!!!

Great menu and atmosphere! We weren’t too impressed with our waitresses customer service (or lack thereof).

Service was prompt and efficient .. but nothing to write home about. Food came out quickly and looked pleasant .. but for almost $30 each (I added avocado and my mate added bacon to two $23 dishes) I wouldn’t say it was great value for money. Bigger portions or a lower price point is needed. I’ve had way bigger and tastier brunches for way cheaper and l left more satisfied. For $6 two scrawny pieces of bacon isn’t just. Atmosphere is good. Price point is just way askew

Service was aggressive and confusing. When we were seated our waitress asked if we would like to order drinks we replied sure to which our waitress yelled at us “Well tell me what you want then!” Later when we ordered food we asked to swap out the eggs for one of the sides options and our waitress replied authoritatively “I’m not doing that. I’ll remove the eggs and still charge you for the full meal and if you want a side, I’ll charge you for the sides”. We didn’t deserve to be spoken to like that and are honestly baffled by the experience.

Way too loud. Way too loud. Not good for any purpose.
