RMB Cafe Bar - Melbourne

This restaurant is a fantastic find for a delicious meal. We recently discovered this hidden gem and were impressed by the easygoing and efficient staff who went out of their way to accommodate us. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. This has become our preferred spot for lunch whenever we are in the city.

Degrave Street is home to Italian Red Street in the CBD, a place where the guys often take me on weekends to enjoy a delicious rib eye steak and chicken parma. The dishes are well-prepared, if a bit on the dry side, but still flavorful and satisfying. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the portions are just right. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.

This is an older style cafe that occupies a prime corner position on bustling Degraves St. It has friendly spruikers outside which I found kind of cute and not at all annoying.<br/ <br/ I found myself immediately liking the place. It’s small but you don’t feel cramped in the slightest. It’s a little noisy but nice noisy not annoying noisy. It’s old style for sure. Maybe 80s or early 90s but again it all sort of fits together nicely somehow. To complete the picture, they were playing endearingly daggy music on the stereo today. Retro plus. No hip hop on here. I think I heard showtunes at one point.<br/ <br/ I started with a long black which was quite good, certainly better than I’d anticipated. It was slightly bitter, but certainly rich, dark and substantive. I liked it. I hadn’t planned on eating but I liked the sound of the soup of the day, a minestrone, and quickly changed my mind. Again, against all expectations I found this was an absolutely delicious minestrone. It was a generous serve and very very tasty. It had heaps of flavour and plenty of veggies. The melted parmesan also added to my overall delight. The dish also came with a very generous serve of Turkish bread too. It was a terrific little meal. I think I’d rank it as the best minestrone I’ve since I used to get them from Maria’s in North Melbourne many years ago.<br/ <br/ This was a lovely fun little stop. I had my doubts about the current 3.9 Zomato rating but the doubts were quickly dispelled. Recommended.

At RMB Cafe, I enjoyed two thick and fluffy slices of bread dipped in cinnamon egg wash, topped with bacon, grilled banana, and maple syrup. During my stay for the Grand Prix, we walked past this corner cafe on Degraves and Flinders Lane every day. After the race, we decided to have brunch there, and I opted for the French toast, which was indeed delightful. Degraves is full of hidden gems, and we also tried two different delicious pancakes.

This busy place tucked at the corner of Degraves is definitely worth a visit!<br/ <br/ To begin with, the coffee was quality stuff!<br/ <br/ The nachos I had was tasty as. The pasta and sandwich with chips were also a hit with my mates, though the chips could have been better seasoned! The pasta was creamy and delicious and my mate’s mouth was watering as it came out.<br/ <br/ Degraves is packed with good joints and I think this place has done justice to the quality of food served!<br/ <br/
