Monkey Business - Melbourne

We came here twice on our weekend in Dromana Friday night dinner and Sunday brekky. Absolutely loved it both times innovative menu featuring local peninsula produce and wines, and friendly professional service. Delicious! We will be back for sure.

The food, ambience and set-up is amazing. Being a Melbournian Coffee Snob, we were super impressed with the delicious flavours, certainly the best cafe in Dromana

Food was absolutely amazing. The chef was fantastic and even walked around to talk to guests and suggest choices. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!!!

Above average quality of food. We had the squid ink linguini, the lamb sausage ragout, Gippsland rump steak, trevally with clams and the treacle cake with butterscotch whipped cream.<br/ <br/ Our favourites of the night were the lamb sausage ragout; which was rich in flavour and very hearty. As well as the Trevally with clams. The fish was well cooked and was perfumed brilliantly with the herbs and was accompanied with jamon and clams in a very flavourful sauce.<br/ The Treacle cake dessert was indulgent and delishous; attempting to try and share this dessert may put a strain on your relationship<br/ <br/ The squid ink linguini while tasty, lacked the intensity of flavour when compared to the lamb sausage ragout.<br/ <br/ The Gippsland steak was tasty but ours was cooked more towards medium-well as to our normally preferred mid-rare. It was a strange thing for me to reflect back and find myself preferring fish over steak. But that has more to do with the quality of the fish dish rather than any shortcomings of the steak.<br/ <br/ We'll definitely be back to sample the tasting menu

This place is amazing! I can’t wait to go back again, it’s hard to choose anywhere else on the Peninsula for us these days. We love letting the chef go fo it and surprise us with the meals they are most excited about that day. They are so passionate about the local produce they use and we regularly end up getting things that aren’t on the menu. Wine knowledge is phenomenal also, and always great service. It’s unfortunate the odd low rating can change the average so much, I can’t believe those people ate at the same restaurant. But this place rocks for us, we can’t get enough!
