i love sunday mornings (well i like to think it's still morning because we're eating breakfast, but it's really 12:30pm). luckily, i have wonderful girlfriends who are all under the same impression of sunday "mornings". once in a while we head out to the growing number of brunch cafes around melbourne to enjoy each other's company and be food critics for ourselves. last sunday, our target was demitri's feasts.

situated 3 or 4 blocks down from the mcg, it's a nice cafe with a non-impressive shop front. however, you know there is something special when there are people practically eating on the footpath because there is no other space. we got a table in the courtyard and luckily it was the first proper spring day we had in melbourne this year - sunny and over 25 degrees. i couldn't be happier. our seats were made out of old oil cans = genius.


demitri's feasts is a greek inspired cafe. it actually won breakfast of the year in the 2010 cheap eats guide. i had the sage mushrooms with manouri cheese, toasted almonds, and rocket on sourdough. it was lovely and not too salty as i find some mushrooms are. however, i'm not entirely sure if this is the best brunch i ever had this year. the food took quite a while and my friend's eggs weren't as hot as they could be. my highlight: my freshly squeezed orange juice, with pulp. yum
