Persillade - Melbourne

Went to a Friday night football game at the MCG ,parked our car in Yarra Park ,walked up to Wellington parade at 6 oclock and discovered Persillade . They had a footy Menu ,very smart Included soups and homemade pies all around a $20.00 cost . We had a ham and chicken and a schnapper and fennel pie both served with mash potaoes and peas they were delicious! The coffee was excellent my friend and I both had a glass of wine , not a big selection and a bit pricey . Good service nice atmosphere very convenient would go back

This lively place is great on a cold Melbourne day! The coffee was nice and had great aroma, the milk was textured just right. The eggs were cooked well and service was professional and friendly.

What a great find so close to the MCG. My friends and I reserved our seats at the MCG and walked up to Wellington Street, East Melbourne for lunch before the game. In celebration of Bastille Day I had the French onion soup. Traditional and served by a lovely French waitress. My colleagues had a burger and a wrap. A good choice.The coffee was excellent. An expensive coffee machine and a good barista! I am looking forward to a return visit.

I always try to detour here for a coffee or quick bite if going to the city centre. A short walk through the gardens on a sunny day is blissful. Once inside the staff are attentive and friendly with the excellent knowledge..

Went here last week before we picked up my husband from one of the nearby hospitals. My daughter had the cheeseburger and these supposedly fabulous chips. Well the chips may be triple fried but that would be once each day for three days. They were grey maybe they were the wrong type of potato! Apparently the aioli was very good though. Cheeseburger average and my fritters of some sort, I can't remember corn or something, but they had been over cooked, maybe they were thrice cooked like the chips! Wine was nice but all in all a disappointment and neither of us would go back again which is a shame as it is in a great position near the MCG, Bridge Road and hospitals.
