My wife was searching for a place called Julie's in Flinders which she had visited years ago. Turns out a fire and subsequent name change has reincarnated Julie's as Village Cafe Wine Bar. It was toasty inside when we arrived and there winenwere quite a few patrons despite looking quiet from the street. We sat ourselves down by the warming open fire and ordered lunch. I ordered the salmon open sandwich with cream cheese, capers and lettuce (sans onions) while my other half ordered the bruschetta. I was impressed by the generosity of salmon when mine arrived and the taste combination brought me back to the many salmon bagels of this irk which I consumed in Canadas west coast a few year ago. The Bruschetta was only had a small amount of fresh basil but I'm told the flavour of basil and garlic was there so perhaps this was infused in the oil itself. Although not in use it appears that there was a beer garden out back and the many empty tables outside the front did make me wonder whether anyone else was going to be in when we arrived. Judging by the number of outside seats Village Cafe must have a swelling crowd during the warmer months. We received a quick turn around of our not overly complicated meals.

The food we ordered arrived promptly and was well-prepared. The service was friendly and helpful, and the wine list was impressive. This restaurant is definitely a top contender on the Mornington Peninsula. I will definitely be coming back!

Situated on the main street of a charming seaside town, the cafe offers delicious and reasonably priced food. The staff were welcoming and attentive. I highly recommend stopping by for lunch or coffee, and we will definitely be visiting again in the future.

The waitresses seem to be really busy, it is understandable if they are not that attentive .I have never see this much salmon in a salmon bagel before. The winter salad had so much quinoa. It was really filling...but I will love it more if it is with a lot more rockets
