Consistently voted one of the best restaurants in St Kilda. Excellent British/Italian food made from locally sourced produce. Breakfasts are crowded and you should book for dinner.

LFK is owned by my neighbour, whose family also owns the iconic Flower Drum restaurant. They serve excellent modern asian cuisine - worth it for the lamb spring rolls alone! Usually packed - booking essential.

Closest cafe to my flat. The food is good but pricey and the service is laid back, but the baked goods and coffee can't be faulted
