However it was late and the kitchen was closed - I'll be back for the chips, then. :-)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-62013453909035370192008-06-06T03:37:00.000+10:002008-06-06T03:37:00.000+10:00Thanks for the tip.

I have found a good bakery and coffee shop, but haloumi is very hard to find! <BR/><BR/>One more Brunswick suggestion: Robbie's Stein (opposite Barkly Square) has some of THE BEST hand cut hot chips in Melbourne - ranks up there with chips from Grill'd. Robbie's Stein also has melt-in-your-mouth lemon tart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-33362741144267715282008-06-04T15:41:00.000+10:002008-06-04T15:41:00.000+10:00Hi twistedbrick!

Thanks so much for that personalised list of local favourites - I've bookmarked it for future reference.<BR/><BR/>Michael and I have visited Toronto once, almost 4 years ago, when we had just gone vegetarian. We were blown away our visit to the restaurant <A HREF="http://www.fressenrestaurant.com/" REL="nofollow">Fressen</A>! (A pic of the dessert we ate there may well qualify as my first food photograph...) Admittedly quite some time has passed and my edible education has since progressed, but I'd still encourage you to pay Fressen a visit. Hopefully you'll soon develop a set of your own local favourites again. :-)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-85034506742476599422008-06-03T13:31:00.000+10:002008-06-03T13:31:00.000+10:00Long time reader, first time commenter. I've been...Long time reader, first time commenter. I've been meaning to suggest Green to you guys - especially the brekkie stack (one of my fave brekkies in Melb - love the relish!) and muffins (best in Melbourne, IMHO). You have to go back soon to try the baked bean and feta pie, mushroom pie, vanilla slice (I'm not usually a fan of the VS, but this one is pure brilliance) and any of their lovely cakes. <BR/><BR/>Cindy, since you love sweet things, I can highly recommended the raspberry pancakes at Mule across the road, the poached pear and honey ricotta pancakes at Small Block, and the citrus pancakes at The Commoner.<BR/><BR/>I just moved away from my beloved Brunswick to Toronto, and I miss the food there so much. I was really spoilt for choice in Brunswick! Oh, and the falafel at Tiba's on Sydney Rd is one of the best in Melb too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-56467248669365264122008-05-22T17:37:00.000+10:002008-05-22T17:37:00.000+10:00Johanna, it's hard to believe it's taken us so lon...Johanna, it's hard to believe it's taken us so long to get there! It seems to be well known for the muffins, and they sure do have a lot of them on sale in the morning. :-)<BR/><BR/>Sarah, I've read that too but I have trouble leaving well enough alone in my own kitchen. :-P My muffins are frequently overmixed!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-52947475875420396312008-05-21T16:37:00.000+10:002008-05-21T16:37:00.000+10:00I think those muffins look great.
