Crossways - Our Favourite Hare Krishna Eatery

Located at 123 Swanston St (Upstairs on 1st Floor) in Melbourne's CBD, the Crossways restaurant offers 'all you can eat' food, drinks and desserts for five dollars ($5!!!). The food is healthy and always rich with fresh vegetables and fantastic rice. The halava dessert is a highlight (a sweet, glutenous oriental dish, served with custard). Drinks are a choice of cordial, water or lassi (Indian yoghurt drink). The lassi and cordial can be mixed to make a creamy, fruity concoction.

Crossways is open Monday-Saturday from 11.30 to 2.30. It offers a relaxed, 'loft' environment for dining and clients have the option of reading any of the numerous spiritual texts with their meal. It also has intriguing spiritual paintings that add to the peaceful atmosphere.

Be there or be damned,

Mr. Harvey.

Hey guys here's the new controversial Lady Gaga video, banned on MTV apparently, allegedly due to sexy racy murder. Personally I think you should watch it with caution due to the high level of amazingness of it all. Tell me what you think

181 Domain Cafe' Bar - 181 Domain Road, South Yarra.

Located in a popular commuting route from the Eastern suburbs to the city area, 181 Domain is the perfect place to stop on you way to work or play. The range of baked products is substantial and the quality of these products impeccable. I opted to go for the raspberry and apple muffin (i LOVE muffins), along with a cafe' latte' that was well up to my lofty standards. Lachsley smashed out a fresh orange juice with a muffin of the same variety. The dough was moist and the top crisp, with a warm middle that was not the result of microwaving (a good thing!). The dining area has an up-market metropolitan feel and offers a comfortable atmosphere to sit and eat, or drink to your heart's desire.

Get out there,

Mr. Harvey

Cafe' Ray - 332 Victoria St, Brunswick

CONTINUED!

Cafe' Ray is located at 332 Victoria Street, Brunswick and provides a quintessentially Melbourne feel and relaxed atmosphere to its dedicated band of local regulars (as well as those - like me - that are willing to commute there!). A small range of high quality baked goods are available and not one item ever disappoints.

Yesterday (the 23rd), I ventured to Cafe’ Ray whilst my Mumster and Good Grief were at the supermarket and Spotlight. On this occasion I selected a blueberry, coconut and almond meal tart with a decadent yet light pastry crust. It was distributed evenly with ripe berries and sprinkled with crisp desiccated coconut. The almond meal offered a light cakey texture to the tart centre. At just $3.50 I could enjoy this baked delight on an economic level on top of its perfect sensual properties.

I thoroughly recommend this quiet achieving little cafe’ for any occasion.

La Paloma - 259 Albert St, Brunswick

La Paloma is a favourite cafe’ of mine and is located at 259 Albert Street, Brunswick. As hinted at by its name, La Paloma offers a delicious insight into the culinary culture of simple Spanish food. The wonderfully “no-frills” environment radiates coolness and makes for the perfect scene to enjoy a strong cafe’ latte’. From the terrazzo paved floor, to the soccer paraphernalia and classic tunes being played through the owner’s beloved record player (yes a real turn table!), La Paloma provides an all round enjoyable experience for patrons.

From La Paloma it is just a short walk down Sydney Road to Savers, Don Bosco op-shop, Aldi and episode, amongst numerous other Brunswick icons. To get to this famous cultural epicentre of northern Melbourne all one has to do is catch the Route 19 tram towards North Coburg from Elizabeth Street in the city!

After enjoying one of Melbourne’s best coffees at La Paloma and buying a couple of cans of Aldi tomato soup (my favourite!!) I felt peckish for something in the cake family...
