“ Yummy fresh food served generously to fill me up! Wanted to look at the menu first but was told to take a seat. Turned out well, but it felt like an imposition Great decor and casual urban vibe ”
“ A great cafe opposite the old Channel 9 studios. The service is fast and very friendly - hard to find these days. It’s great for dine in and take away and they follow all of the hygiene requirements. A great selection of breakfast favourites including eggs every way and a selection of focaccia’s. Highly recommend. ”
“ We've loved the Milk Bar when we've been there during the day, but the place really works in its night-time incarnation as the Bendigo Street Cucina. It's a cozy, friendly, and welcoming restaurant - it's like being in Di's dining room! The food is authentic, the servings are generous, the prices are reasonable, and now that the liquor licence has come through, the wines really add to the overall ambience and enjoyment. ”
“ Apart from all the amazing reviews about the food (which are spot on, by the way), I just wanted to share something that made our day even better. My wife was heading there for breakfast with her friends, and I wanted to surprise her by paying for her breakfast before she arrived. They don’t really have a system to do payments remotely, but Di went completely above and beyond to help me out. She was so lovely and reassuring when I called, promised she’d make it happen - and she absolutely did. It’s little things like that which make places like this even more special. Thanks to Di and the whole team for helping me pull off the surprise - my wife was so happy, and it made her morning. Love the food, love the place, and can’t thank them enough for that extra bit of kindness. ”
“ Bendigo Street Milk Bar transitions to the perfect Italian restaurant Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 6pm and it should be on everyone's list! The ambience and setting is perfect by candlelight with seating inside, outside and courtyard available. Small menu that covers the main Italian staples and these guys nail every single one of them. Well balanced flavours, good portions, high quality ingredients and it just works perfectly. Service is super friendly and quick and they have a small but well rounded drinks menu too. Good for a date night, family's and all. We will definitely be back and get in quick before this place is discovered and you'll be booking well in advance ”
“ I need a space for the private meeting and team discussion. This place was perfect! It has a separate area for the meeting. The staff was super friendly and the coffee was so delicious. Also, there was no minimum amount of order we needed to use the space. We stayed almost 2.5 hours and they tried to make us use the space so comfortably. I am so appreciative of their support. ”
