I dont hand out 5 star reviews very often but I think History cafe deserves one. The salt and pepper calamari was absolutely amazing, the steak was cooked perfectly and the drinks kept on coming! Great atmosphere, great food. I could recommend this place highly enough!
Ive been meaning to visit this cafe, wine bar and grill for a long time and finally made it recently. It definitely lived up to our expectations! We went for a late brunch so we were lucky to try some breakfast dishes and some lunch dishes. Win win!
I loved the overall look and feel of the place, really nice clean colours, stylish fittings and modern feel.
The food was delicious, a big menu and definitely something for everyone. We tried the cheese dip to start which was phenomenal. Melted cheese with fresh warm flat bread. A cheese lovers dream!
We also tried the potato rosti Benedict with ham hock and fresh apple. A rich but super satisfying dish. Really well balanced. Highly recommend!
The burger was also delicious, with a traditional Balkan style meat patty. They specialise in grilled meats and it shows. Served with coleslaw, cheese, bacon and chutney and chips on the side. So good!
I recommend visiting this cafe and wine bar!
Thanks for having us!
We were lucky to be invited to visit History Cafe Wine Bar & Grill on the first day of summer. We sat outside to enjoy the warm weather with our cocktails.
The menu has a wide selection of both seafood and meat dishes. We noticed a part of the menu use the Josper Oven, a type of oven which creates the perfect char and crisp on meats whilst maintaining a tender and juicy inside. As meat eaters we ordered the History Feast Platter which consisted of a range of meats such as Smoked Chorizo sausage, lamb rump,pork belly,gourmet burger with a side of fries and salad. The highlight was the lamb rump which was perfectly marinated, tender and crisp on the outside.
They also have a great selection of drinks from cocktails to wines!
If you are looking for a traditional Balkan feast, then this is your place. Notice the Smokey taste? Well they use a Josper oven which is the hottest indoor barbeque available. It has a front door that, when closed, ensures none of the natural moisture or flavour escapes from the food cooked in it. Not to mention the service is awesome. We will be back.
Dropped in to History Cafe Wine Bar & Grill for lunch.
Ordered a Hamburger. Thought that would be quick and easy.
Near empty premises so service was spot on.
Hamburger wasn’t.
Maybe I should go back for a wine some day.
I came here with friends on a Friday night, it was fantastic! There was live music on, it was packed it was great weather so we sat outside for most of the night. Staff were attentive, we loved all the food we had and they have a great selection of wines. The mixed grill platter was a highlight. The meat patty tasted so fresh and home made as did the capsicum chutney and it came with a generous serving of pitta. We will definitely visit again soon.
You might think that every thing you need to know about History has already been stated out in its name. It’s indeed a cafe by day, wine bar and grill by night, but what you may not realised is that History pride themselves on their Josper Grill Oven. There’s a section in the menu dedicated to meats cooked using the Josper Grill Oven and I was lucky enough to sample some.
Our party of 4 had the pleasure of sharing the History Platter, Salt Bush Lamb Rump and Crispy Pork Belly, and also a Grain Salad with chicken tenderloins and hot chips on the side. If there was one dish that stood out amongst the rest, it had to be the lamb rump. The meat was incredibly tender, and there was no gaminess to it, but instead a robust meaty flavour. The bacon and peas puree imparted a clean yet salty tang to the dish.
The pork belly was another standout, and this was due to the play on different flavours to create a light and balanced dish. The meats on the History Platter all possessed a lovely smokiness to them, and the capsicum dip was just delightful. It was great to be able to try the Pljeskavica, a delicious and flavourful meat patty that was a staple of Balkan cuisine.
Even the simple Grain Salad could not be faulted. The addition of hummus lent a depth of flavour to it, and for a while, I was able to pretend that I was eating healthy and not stuffing myself with meat.
History’s strength not only lies with the food, but also the coffee. My skinny latte was smooth and strong, and I don’t think my dining partners had any complains about their selections too.
It was lovely to be able to chat with the owner, and have him take such good care of us. Thank you for having us over and for the delicious meal!
