Across from my newest, favourite-est pizza place, Al Albero, we’ve been watching the inside of the former Little Kitchen be transformed slowly with painstakingly crafted wood bits over the last few months.  I was sure this would become the famed Macali pizza place, it just looked like a pizza place…

But .. to my surprise and almost horror – it’s a Vegan restaurant.

That’s two – opposite each other, why???  Is North Fitzroy Vegan central?

All I want is good coffee, closer to home than Growers.  And we get another vegan restaurant!

I haven’t tried it yet – if you have, let me know how it was.  I’m not sure I can bring myself to do it.

UPDATE: So, It’s a vegetarian restaurant, not a vegan one, not that it makes much difference to me :-)  but it does to some folk.

I still haven’t had an opportunity to eat there but Fitzroyalty has, as have I’m in the Mood for Noodles and Where’s the Beef?

I needed a baguette for dinner so made a detour to Cavallini’s this morning and couldn’t resist the egg and bacon toastie (it had some hi-falutin’ Italian name, but we all know what it really is) and a good long cafe latte.

The eggs weren’t quite cooked through, and the bacon was delicious. The bread was of course crunchy and chewy in the right ratio and the tomato chutney just sharp enough to cup through the fat of the bacon and the richness of the egg.
