We eat out regularly in Melbourne and this was by far the worst food we’ve eaten in years! The menu reads well but is not executed with any finesse at all. Extremely disappointing.

Sunday Bottomless Brunch with friends worked perfectly for an easy catchup: Delicious food, handsome serves, attentive service & no problems getting topped up. No Sunday surcharge (refreshing), great value overall. Some other tables a bit noisy but tolerable given the restaurant was not full.

We had bottomless brunch at this small restaurant. Overall it was a great experience and we had fun. The brunch came with 5 tapas dishes which were all nice however a little underwhelming- sundried tomato dip with corn chips, potatoes roasted in some spices, chorizo, chicken thighs and a small cheesecake square to finish. Food was not enough if you are hungry, like we were. Towards the end of our booking staff were getting visibly annoyed at us ordering drinks….. which I thought was the point of “bottomless” brunch. The guy making the drinks was rolling his eyes as he walked away after we had ordered our final round.. like the drinks were coming out of his pocket. Not really sure what the issue was as we weren’t drunk even after probably 6 drinks each, so I would say that the drinks were also probably not very strong! This was overall a good experience but we will try elsewhere next time!

Crossley st Cantina is excellent. It’s so great to get a 100% gluten free place that’s also great with dairy free and so tasty. Drinks were great as was the service. Would definitely recommend

Lots of the food was delish, some were recommended to share between four but really were small portions. Chorizo and Brussel sprouts were incredible, the lamb was super fatty
