Le Miel Et La Lune, Carlton

  • by Sonia Nair
  • Posted on April 15, 2020May 17, 2021

I’d visited tranquil cornerside Carlton café Le Miel Et La Lune for the first time years ago and loved it, promising myself that it’d become a regular stop on my brunch circuit, but then before I knew it four years had passed and I hadn’t been back!

I’d eaten at Brunswick café Lucy Lockett before, but not since they’d changed hands and released a largely vegan menu.

Shanklin Cafe, Hawthorn East

  • by Sonia Nair
  • Posted on October 21, 2018

I don’t usually venture outside my locale on weekends, preferring instead to visit places that I can reach either by foot or tram, but Shanklin Cafe’s invitation to try their fare was too good to pass up.

Espresso Alley, Northcote [permanently closed]

  • by Sonia Nair
  • Posted on September 2, 2018May 17, 2021

Espresso Alley is a cutesy local on a somewhat deserted strip in Northcote that I’m glad exists because it means grocery shopping can be fun every once in a while.

Ascot Food Store, Moonee Ponds

  • by Sonia Nair
  • Posted on June 18, 2018June 17, 2018

Ascot Food Store is a cutesy, light-filled and wholesome neighbourhood spot, the kind of spot where the number of babies is only surpassed by the number of dogs – so there’s something for everyone.

Short Round, Thornbury

  • by Sonia Nair
  • Posted on February 18, 2018February 11, 2018

Short Round was as good as I remember – If I’m ever in Thornbury with my parents and a shut creperie, I won’t think twice about visiting again.

Handsome Her, Brunswick [permanently closed]

  • by Sonia Nair
  • Posted on November 12, 2017May 17, 2021

I first learned about Handsome Her when it made headlines for charging men an 18% surcharge to account for the gender pay gap, proceeds of which go to women’s services – a noble endeavour that I am 100% in favour of.

Square and Compass, East Melbourne

  • by Sonia Nair
  • Posted on June 25, 2017July 2, 2017

About

 

When you’re FODMAP and lactose-intolerant as well as lacking a somewhat vital organ such as a gallbladder, everything floats your bloat – tomatoes, eggplant, mature cheeses (so most good cheeses), wine, spinach, almond milk, every form of preserved meat (yes, that includes bacon), that little bit of ghee your mum slips into her dahl to make it taste all the better.

Bloat Scores

0 Living the dream

1 Had to loosen my belt a notch

2 The belt had to be completely removed

3 I could have balanced a glass of wine on my bloated stomach

4 If I were lying prostrate on my tummy, it would have looked as though I was levitating

5 So full of gas I floated home like a hot air balloon
