Dish & Spoon Camberwell

This is a chic and popular brunch spot in the Eastern suburb of Camberwell – boasting not only a beautifully designed interior, but also a lovely outdoor section in the back covered with a patio. Dish and Spoon also features a seasonally changing menu with Middle Eastern twists on certain classics – which is always a favourite of mine to try! The cold drip coffee was delicious (my first time trying and I loved the roasted, slightly sweet after taste) and the meal itself was hearty, refined, making it a very enjoyable brunch experience for me. The good fat: This was our waitress’ recommendation (her favourite smoothie) and I was definitely in the mood for a berry smoothie this morning. Being not a huge fan of mint, I appreciated how it was just on the side, as a decoration and it wasn’t a predominant flavour within. The berries were blended together to create a very refreshing juice with seeds here and there from the strawberries that preserved its authenticity. I could taste subtle hints of the honey which gave it a delicious sweetness. The bad fat: Being in a slender glass, this was a little small in terms of portion size (but gorgeous presentation nonetheless) Fat-o-meter: 4/5
