The Commoner

This is without doubt my favourite restaurant in Melbourne. Usually my favourite place is the next one, the cool one I have read about but haven't been to yet...but I can't get enough of this place. The little touches inside and out are as amazing as the food. Call ahead and they'll roast you a kid or a chicken or turn up on Sunday night for a 'Feed Me' dinner, where the chef serves as many courses as will fit the budget you wish to spend per head. That's a dahlia on the cistern, a hydrangea wrapped around the pipe above the hand dryer and Aesop soap is provided for your hands - can you sense a woman's touch? Both owner & chef, Zoe Roy are female. They call their style of food Modern British and the influence of Zoe's stints working in Scotland, England, Ireland, Turkey and France are evident...Moorish spices, shared plates and seasonal produce are their signature. This is only the courtyard and the bathroom, I want you to visit to see and taste the the wonders inside for yourself! What's you're all time favourite eating spot like?
