Highly rate this place for vegetarian lunch options in the city. They have other options as well, but their salads are outstanding. I've been here at least six times in the last month, and do not know why I go anywhere else for lunch.

Good location, decent staff, a rotating selection of good salads plus a good set menu (a very nice fish and chips on Fridays) with prices as reasonable as anything is these days. One thing: they advertise that they're open in the evenings on Fridays, but that doesn't seem to be true.

Excellent food, huge portions and staff who are eager to please. Best value for quality food in the CBD. It's very close to the corner of Collins St and Harrington St and definitely worth seeking out in its tucked away location.

Huge meals, tasty and low priced :) Wow! Don't be fooled by the prices. Food is restaurant quality, and the serving sizes are huge (if you order a meal, don't order chips too because either one is more than a grown man can eat for lunch!) Highly recommend the fish burgar for anyone who finds their way here.

Great for the morning coffee, bacon and egg roll or signature morning sausage rolls. Bustling at peak times and some great outdoor seating options on warmer days. Service is always top notch

Best lunch in the city. Cheap, delicious and healthy. The salad menu changes everyday, with exciting options always on offer.
