Barry

Second breakfast!! 

Hungry after several house inspections today we stopped at Barry on Hight St Northcote for a snack and ended up ordering a full meal! 

In keeping with the area Reid had a superfood salad of quinoa and kale and I had a yummy eggs benny with rosti a and apple cider hollindaise

Industry Beans

I came here with high expectations after an  review from a work colleague who lives in this area.

However, the food was pretty ordinary!

My cauliflower and carrot fritters were dry and there was very little yogurt to add any moisture to the dish. Reid's poached eggs were over done and the mountain of cress wasn't the best accompaniment.

The coffee was great, although Reid's second coffee took forever to arrive.

Instantly forgettable

John Gorilla

We came back to John Gorilla to sit outside on this sunny spring day, but it's actually a bit chilly!! 

Still the food was good, if not that well presented - excellent hollandaise and black pudding. My coffee was great but Reid's needed sugar!!

Bills Bar

Stop 4: Bill's Bar

This is a tiny cocktail bar out the back of Huxtaburger. There's an unassuming entrance at the back of the kitchen 

Decor is great - but the cocktails aren't so tasty, I feel like I've been punched in the face by my martini!

Reid thinks he could make a better negroni at home 

Belles

Stop 3: Belle's Diner

Yummy food, including Old Bay flavoured fries

Everleigh

Stop 2: The Everleigh

Fantastic cocktails, beautiful space, great service 

I'd say my favourite cocktail bar

Pub crawl

Saturday night pub crawl 

First stop: The Standard, in Fitzroy

The beer garden is packed so we're sitting inside 

Little Deer Tracks

A newish cafe deep in Coburg. Little Deer Tracks is completely vegetarian

The food was pretty good and the coffee was ok, hopefully one day it will be our local
