St Ali is awsome. it took me months to find this place, i got lost in the alleys like 5 times before I finally found it, even thought it was just right next door almost. The whole middle eastern breakfest thing is a bit weird week after week, and the bacon thing does get to me from time to time, but the serious espresso is hard to beat, coffee of the day, always a winner. Next to Picnic in south yarra, this is pretty much where Melbournes coffee passion begins and ends with me.

St Ali is gold.

The coffee at St Ali owned Brother Baba Budan in Little Bourke St (near cnr of Elizabeth) is as good, if not better. Well worth ones time. The lady barista’s have been pulling the best shots (best espresso I’ve had in the last year).

Hey mate! Hope you’re having fun in Melbourne! 10-4 with the Tiger comment – the price was right but our flight over was absoltuely shite. We got lucky on the way back though and had a spare seat between us so Marie and I could stretch out… we’re paying full price next time to avoid the tilt of having an eight year-old kick me repeatedly between 2am and 5am Melbourne-time…

Hey Matt,

Kind of funny (not funny haha but you know what I mean) that it takes you guys to tell me (a Melbourne person) what’s hot in the food world over there. I’ve got lots to look forward to. Looking forward to your other reviews.

Davy: done and done.

Luca: With the prosciutto and the chorizo, I wasn’t lacking for pig. Still, you have a point… there is something other worldly about bacon that I’m sure the Japanese have thought up another 5 words to describe.

Hey Matt,

You capture perfectly the sole problem with St Ali – no bacon in sight ;P

Cheers,

Luca

No worries Matt, you did have a pretty tight agenda and I guess there’s a fair few killer establishments you’ve gotta try when you’re in town so no dramas. Next time you’re over let me know and I’ll shout you a beer!

Cheers

No worries mate. p.s – Sorry we didn’t make it into The Commoner during the trip. The only days we ended up having open were Monday and Tuesday, and those are the days you’re closed :( Next time for sure.
