Monkey Business - Dromana, Victoria

When you go for a drive to chase up some brekky you just never know what new eating house you are going to end up at. Take the challenge and stop going to your absolute fav. or the café just down the road or in the local shopping center. See what you can find. We did and it certainly paid off for us.

Monkey Business on the highway, Dromana is a fresh good size open café. Eat in or out or sit up front inside with the big double glass doors open. No excuse not to find a seat? Well I have a good one not to sit inside. Bloody noisy. One large table of people and still way to audibly distracting to try and eat. Simple fix, move outside. Concrete floors, no soft furnishings and high ceiling creates a bad acoustic.

Now the food which is really why you are ready this blog entry. Lets start with "heart on a plate". Add to that "respect of product". Now finished with "generous and balanced portions". If you think I like this place then you are right. Food to live for. Next time I go back, which will be soon, I'm trying something else. So many good sounding dishes to choose from and all looked as good as mine.

Presentation is big of the list of not what people want but what chef wants. Prepare it right, cook it right and serve it better. If you weren't hungry when you got there, when you see your gorgeous food served as a great presentation, you will be. Delicious, creative and inspiring. Chefs not always going to be at this café. Get in early; breakfast, lunch or dinner. Just pick a day when you can sit out. All the foodie stars will align all in the one place and over your meal. Really - ENJOY!!
