Chew Chew

When in Moonee Ponds, jump on board the Chew Chew café train for freshly prepared breakfasts and lunches. Located across the road from Moonee Ponds Station, the establishment is a mix of old school French chic and inner-city Melbourne grunge – think marble counters combined with bare brick walls and exposed beams. Early risers may start their day with the banana bread French toast topped with fresh honeycomb, blueberry coulis, blueberry mascarpone and pistachio while lunch patrons may choose from light dishes such as the salmon salad with poached Mt Macedon duck egg and citrus dressing or the free range chicken oriental slaw topped with peanuts, fried shallots and soy and ginger dressing. With coffee supplied by Coffee Mio and attentive staff on hand, this will be a meal to remember.
