Sally's Kitchen

At the La Trobe end of Exhibition Street, there’s a block that’s become a good food strip for city workers. This smart cafe with dark wood, modern lighting and an earthy Euro feel offers breakfasts bound up in fresh produce, evident in grilled cherry tomatoes and prosciutto on ciabatta or a generous whack of avocado on toast with fresh lime. Lunches change with what’s available and may include house-made pappardelle with a sturdy duck ragout, risotto primavera or well-spiced lamb roghan josh. Coffee, a Fairtrade blend from Supreme, is another reason why Sally stands out on her block.
