Feedback

Penta is a beautiful little Elsternwick cafe with an interior that screams classy and refined, yet also encourages relaxation. Upon ordering their very famous nutella panacotta, I'd have to say I was a little disappointed with the portion size for the price paid. While it was something nice to eat, the flavours were not extraordinary enough to justify the price (the banana sushi was a little odd). However, the braised beef cheeks with waffles and a hollandaise sauce was truly wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed the palate of flavours that were presented. All in all, lovely cafe with a cute interior and nice staff. Would definitely revisit for the waffles!

My family and I called in on Mother's Day without a booking and we're pleasantly surprised that we were able to get a table for 5 within minutes (albeit outside). My kids were wrapped there was a park across the road. We had a beautiful brunch. The potato rosti were a big favorite with my husband & kids. The Nutella panna cotta was YUM but rich so we shared, the banana sushi was brilliant. The granola bowl was the best for me though. Also had good coffee & tumeric latte.
