Waterfront Brighton is a seafood restaurant that is literally located on the waterfront, as indicated in its name. It's a popular spot in Brighton, Melbourne, offering a superb selection of fresh seafood and meats. Many reviewers have mentioned the restaurant's 'warm and convivial atmosphere', 'comfortable and elegant atmosphere', and 'lovely waiting staff with great serving etiquette'. The food is consistently praised as 'excellent' and 'outstanding', and the service is highly commended as 'attentive', 'friendly', and 'exceptional'.
Caffé Greco, Melbourne’s iconic dining institution and meeting place, is reopening after three decades in Oakleigh. Its origins trace back to the inspiring story of Nick Madalena, a Greek man who journeyed to Rome in 1760, founding the original Caffè Greco, which has since become a revered national institution in Italy, celebrated for over 260 years. This tale of migration and the pursuit of a better life is what motivated Nick Zampelis to establish a Melbourne branch of Caffé Greco, continuing a legacy of cultural exchange and community that spans centuries.As Melbourne’s own Caffé Greco reopens, it draws from this rich heritage of bringing together diverse minds, continuing the tradition of being a cultural meeting point where patrons can not only enjoy fine coffee but also engage in the kind of conversation and creativity that defined its Roman predecessor.
