About Truly Scrumptious

Tucked down Granary Lane, this sheltered retreat turns out generous weekday lunches and strong flat whites away from the Mentone bustle. Tables under umbrellas catch the sun without the wind—a prime spot for regulars settling in over chicken, leek, and mushroom risotto or thick-cut turkey sandwiches. The kitchen leans into dependable home cooking, from hearty trays of lasagne to house-baked vanilla slice and scones served with proper pots of tea. Note the schedule before heading over: doors shut for the weekend, keeping this strictly a Monday-to-Friday ritual.

  • Weekday-Only Hours: Operates exclusively Monday through Friday, catering to weekday lunch regulars rather than weekend brunch crowds.
  • Sheltered Laneway Terrace: Outdoor umbrella tables in Granary Lane stay protected from coastal gusts while catching midday sun.
  • Dedicated Event Catering: Known across the neighborhood for large-scale milestone spreads, sandwich platters, and memorial teas coordinated by George.
