My ventures to Melbourne these days are few and far between.
It’s a pleasure these days to wander around the City after working there for twenty-fives.
No pressure, exploring new and old stores, nooks and crannies and trying
eateries and bars not normally visited. Federation
Square, near Flinders Street station has been established for quite some time.
It has become a place to meet with restaurants etc. and often free
entertainment.
My wife I ventured here looking for a bite to eat on a sunny
but very cool day. Time Out, which is a modern establishment offering inside
and outside eating areas, became or choice. After an hour or two of walking and
not finding anywhere else we fancied we were quite hungry. Being a dedicated
fine ales man I ordered a pint of White Rabbit Dark. I had partaken of the
non-dark variety a short time before and though I liked it I wouldn’t bath in
it. The “Dark” was another matter. It was scrummy.
We ordered three entre size meals wanting to try various
foods. The bruschetta and crispy calamari dished was spot on. All three dishes
were very appetizing, well presented on the plate and of good size. We had definitely
picked the right place. We sat outside in the cool sunny conditions, a pint in
hand and fine tasty meals in front of us – thanks Melbourne. The service was
warm and friendly and the bill goes down as easy as the food. Mark this place
on you fine eats list, pick a sunny day when you have plenty of time on your
hands and take Time Out. We did.
