Agrim Sharma Uplifting and restorative weekend dining
Diners looking to reset after a full weekend find hearty comfort in richly flavored meals and restorative coffee.
Visited Neon Tiger last Sunday after a glorious Richmond Tigers win and boy was this the best cure to my hangover.
Ebony Zappone Accommodating atmosphere for family gatherings
Families with lively young children receive thoughtful, flexible accommodation that makes shared lunches effortless.
Kids were a bit excited and loud but the staff and manager were so kind and accommodating from the first moment we stepped in!
Sim M Spacious setting suited for long catchups
A spacious interior and calm outdoor vibe give groups ample room to sit and chat for hours without overwhelming noise.
It’s spacious and not noisy, so we ended up comfortably staying for a few hours.

Mushroom croquettes
My favourite dish was definitely the mushroom croquettes!!! Super flavourful, crispy & filling!
Danii D (Danii Dines) Reuben
Everything on the menu is prepared properly and with good quality ingredients (even though I don’t have a photo of it, I really recommend the reuben!).
Simon Lee Pumpkin fritters
However the fritters turned out to be a game changer for me. Unlike the usual fritters, the texture was much more smooth and the best thing was there were way less fillers and the taste of pumpkin was just in abundance but with the slice of poached egg n the greens it definitely made up for a 10/10 dish.
Siya Thomas Shakshouka
One of the best shakshouka I've ever tasted so far. Highly recommend to add the chorizo on the top.

The chocolate flavour definitely won my heart and the lemon curd was just top notch.

Most importantly, the hash brown is a winner.
