Gijsbregt Brouwer

"Harvest just doubled in size and has a full bakery for bread, patisserie and viennoiserie. The coffee bar still has the Melbourne vibe. Do ask for the magic."

"Besides the great selection of shellfish and other seafood, be sure to try the steak sandwich: prego."

"The lamb soup is intense warming and hearty, a real craving in the winter. Yet fresh due to the sezchuan peppers."

"Classic French pastry at the highest level. Come in the weekend for the labor intensive one like the St Honoré or the Millefeuille"

"New chef (Thomas Voets), new esprit, fantastic chefs menu. Vintage French with a modern twist. Hospitality and design still at high level."

"Tom has a tiny little place with some nice paper goods and great Neapolitan coffee. Strong, a touch bitter and blacker than black. Yet most people come for Tom himself: to chat and gossip"
