  We stopped for a pre dinner drink tonight. One Mekong Sunrise and an Aperol Spritz. I was going to have a Negroni but backed off that when the server said, …I may have the recipe for that… which didnt generate confidence that itd be a good one.

  Service was pleasant but slow and the cocktails took a long while to be started, finished and served. We may have just been unlucky as I think a couple of staff members were either on a break or came in just before we left. Whatever the reason the delay was too long with so few customers inside before things really geared up for the evening.

  My partners Aperol Spritz was ordinary. Wrong glass and the mix tasted underehelming. By contrast, the Mekong Sunrise was excellent. It was a very nice cocktail.

  It was an average experience tonight, unfortunately. I might be prepared to return given some of the other good reviews about the place.

  Today’s birthday celebrations took us to this spot with a modern Australian / European twist, although the lunch selections seemed just as Asian inspired. We placed our orders with a chirpy server – she was good at describing one of their popular dinner offerings but a little pushy asking us to Instagram.

  I can’t say they were fast as the wait was dominated by a lot of conversation but my grumbling, empty belly was grateful when the food finally arrived. My apple crumble pancakes were a little light on ingredients. There was a dash of maple, blueberries that I can count on one hand, really tasty but such tiny clusters of oat crumble, slivers of poached apple and a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. The overall effect was dry pancakes.

  The points are because my friends liked their yoghurt marinated Moroccan chicken salad and the sweet potato hash with pulled lamb shoulder. There were no desserts for lunch but we were told we must come back for dinner to try them. While the modern setting and the comfortable booth were pleasant, I can’t say I was won over by the food when Melbourne has so many great places to eat.

  I had a pleasant visit for brunch recently.

  Juno & May’s menu is large, varied and interesting. I had the sweet potato hash dish, and it was wonderfully presented, colourful and really generous in size. Overall was very nice, but lacking finesse. The hash was too dense to be a sweet potato hash, more like a gnocchi mix used as hashand with little sweet potato (or so it felt to me) and it was burned outside. There was a lot of thought about the mix of flavours put on the plate, but a bit of more thought on the textures of the different elements would have made the experience more enjoyable.

  Nice coffee.

  The place is really lovely, spacious and full of greenerie. The ambience is quiet , relaxed and chatty, and, at least when I visited. Mum, gradma and family friendly. Perfect for a quiet pleasant catchup during the week.

  Matter of fact service.

  Lovely caf with a large interior and modern design. Indoor plants and timber accents provide a natural feel.

  Les Omlette The omelette had a light texture and wasnt overly dry, still retaining a bit of jiggle in the middle. There was a mixture of sharpness, funkiness and creaminess from the gruyere, parmesan and gouda, with a bonus pong of goats cheese crumbled on top. Very nice, but a little rich towards the end of the dish.

  Sweet Potato Hash quite a nicely plated dish, but I was hoping there were would be more sweet potato in the hash. It was probably 85% potato with specks of orange sweet potato through it. The pulled lamb shoulder was indeed very tender, as it was slowly stewed and had a rich, distinctly lamby flavour. Perfectly poached egg and fried cubes of halloumi gave the dish more elements of richness, and towards the end, also felt quite heavy.

  Very nice coffee as well, my strong latte was on the chocolatey side, with tightly steamed milk.
