The Grey Smith - Melbourne

We typically have a full lunch at our regular spot, but decided to try out the Grey Smith and were pleasantly surprised. The fish and chips were perfectly cooked with generous portions, particularly the large fish. We enjoyed two good standard wines and finished off with an excellent cup of coffee. If we return to the area, we would definitely come back for breakfast as the extensive menu offers good prices and great food.

I stumbled upon this gem during a Saturday afternoon stroll opposite Jolimont Station. I ordered the mushrooms on toast, which was delicious and generously portioned. My husband had ham, cheese, and tomato on toast. The coffee was fantastic, and we also tried a beetroot latte. The highlight of our visit was discovering a bookcase filled with big hardcover books ranging from 1970 to 2005. We both found atlases we liked - he chose a world atlas, while I picked out an anatomy atlas. We will definitely be returning!

These guys are good. Coffee is pretty reasonable and they offer skip which saves time waiting. Would be good to see rewards card being added. The food looks good but I am yet to try.

Overpriced than the last couple of tenancies; the pulled chicken roll was $12.50, therefore $4.50 for a 330ml bottle of Coke. The Roll was alright; nothing to write home about and service was pretty average; waited around 10mins for the roll. Must have been...chasing the chicken out the back.

Stayed at the Pullman for a few days, didn't want to eat there as I'm a light eater. Went for a short walk and came across the Grey Smith. So glad I did, Coffee is fantastic and breakfast was just enough. Seemed very popular with...the locals and the staff were lovely.
