Bebida - Melbourne

I could have overlooked the insipid tea and the fact that the meal that came out was not what I ordered (oily hashbrowns instead of sourdough), but the price seemed exorbitant for something that was barely acceptable. When I mentioned that it was not what I ordered, I was given the excuse that the waitress was new. How is this my problem? And why should I have to pay for extras when I didn't even order them?The mushrooms were dry and tasted like cardboard. There was a hair in my eggs. The portions were smaller than normal, which is actually a very positive thing. But overall, it was disappointing. It had been a whim and an experiment, but I won't go there again.

Had lunch yesterday with friends. We had a couple of cold Mountain Goat Steam Ales, which is on tap, Trader Burger, which was delicious, margarita pizza and a daily Salad. Everything was perfect. Noticed that there is also a great courtyard out the back which looks perfect for having a couple of drinks on a hot summers day! Would highly recommend checking this great cafe/bar out!

Looking for a quick coffee after a night out, SST was the only real option in the area. If you aren't a hipster, don't bother. And unbelievably, no decaf!! In a city like Melbourne which thrives on its coffee culture, to be met with a blank look when asking for a decaf latte is unforgivable. And to have to ask for milk after ordering a tea...well!!! The bearded hipsters behind the bar were more interested in talking to each other than looking after the customers. The food we saw going to the other customers looked ok, but I won't be rushing back there for my smashed avo and short black!

I recently went to Bebida again, after a bit of a sojourn, to find it newly renovated and just as lovely as it's always been.

Food, staff, and atmosphere is amazing! Good beers on tap and they now have a taco Wednesday! Great place to visit and awesome local:) I'll be back again
