Hi Lucy... thanks for your kind comments about Melbourne Gastronome and the link. Glad you like it! I must say I'm very taken with The Design Files - love the way you look at all sorts of different things from the design angle. If I had the time I'd love to write something similar but I barely manage to write the food stuff as it is! :-)

Hi Claire... just discovered your blog.. what a find! (I was googling Auction Rooms in North Melb and you popped up) anyway I have a Melbourne design blog called The Design Files... I often write about Melb places including restaurants but mainly from a design angle... (ie architecture and fitout etc).. anyway I have bookmarked you and will add a link to you from my site! (ps St Judes is fancy huh? I felt like I was in NYC when I visited - seems so international! actually my partner worked on the interior fitout...) - Lucy x

I'm off to Trunk next Monday. I'll definitely be writing a post on that one!

Okay...you dragged it out of me ;-)

By the way, I forgot to comment how gorgeous the chocolate Valpolicella looked. I must try that myself next time.

Thanks heaps for all the tiramisu suggestions, everyone! :)

Let me chime in and agree that Trunk's courtyard will be awesome come summer. It's also comforting to know you can get decent pizze in the CBD...

Mellie, share your Trunk post with the world!! :)

Thanks for the comments re: the new look, Thermomixer and Cathy! I'm much happier with it now.

oh, we ended up at trunk one night after work...from a vague memory: the drinks seemed a little pricey but we did share pizzas which got the overall thumbs up.

i agree with temasek, trunk will be a good spot come summer time!

Love the new look! And Trunk sounds great, especially seeing as I'm always milling around that part of the city on the way to Bennetts Lane.
The best tiramisu I've had has always been homemade, but there is a gorgeous one at Living Room in Templestowe if you find yourself out that way.

Agree that the tiramisu in Grossi's Cellar bar is always excellent - and you can show the yanks some history at hte same time.

Great new look with the banner too!

i think the florentino version is one of the best around and it will be the same in the cellar bar as upstairs so good value also

Ahh, we thought about going to Trunk last weekend (ended up going to Gills Diner instead). Will definitely have to try it now!

For tiramisu, I'd recommend Cafe Italia over Brunetti. Admittedly, Brunetti does have two things going for it: its staggering size and variety is very visitor-friendly, and you can pop in for dessert only.

Literally 2 mins from my work so have had a few catch up lunches there. The pizzas are great! And its a nice enough spot outside in warmer weather. If you're in the area lunchwise, also try Sally's Kitchen a little further down. (oh and George at Pik N Pasta on Lt Lonsdale street does a killer coffee ... but only George!!)

*grins* oops, I've had a Trunk post sitting in my drafts for about six months! It is very close to my work, and has been a great spot for a lunchtime pizza, or after work drinks. I think it's fab! And their pizza's really are fantastic.

I haven't eaten in the restaurant yet though.
