Code 21 ★★★☆

Image
2/21 Brunswick Rd Brunswick East VIC 3057 Australia Code 21 is a simple yet warm and cosy little café serving up some great brunch and drinks. The interiors are beautiful with highlight to their vertical garden artwork and a pink neon sign that lets everyone know that “I licked it, so its mine”. Fun and modern, just like the dishes they serve up! Would recommend trying out! Their drinks are great.  Cappuccino $3.80  Deliciously smooth and creamy coffee. No sugar needed. ★★★★ Mocha $4.50  Loved the presentation with all the chocolate chips around the side of the cup, then you can stir and melt as desired. We may have mixed too much because our drink ended up being super sweet. ★★★☆ Green Chilli Chakchouka $19.50 (+Sujuk $4.50) Black Eyed Peas and Caramelised Onions with Cashew Butter, Toasted Focaccia and Fresh Cucumber Mint Salad  Nice spicy chakchouka which pairs well with the sujuk. Loved the fragrant caramelised ...

Kaprica ★★★☆

Image
19 Lincoln Square  Carlton VIC 3053 Australia Kaprica is a little Italian eatery in Carlton that may be hard to find as it doesn't really have any visible signage. It really is a destination restaurant. The place itself is on the smaller side and can get busy during mealtimes. The menu is limited, but can cater to most tastes. Would recommend trying out the veal spaghetti!  Diamond Clams, Chili and Garlic Spaghetti $24  Serving size was a bit small and could've had a bit more flavour. Good for those after a light pasta  ★★★ Veal Pork Ragu Spaghetti $24  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Delicious ragu sauce that generously coated all the spaghetti. The veal was tender and juicy. Would recommend!  ★★★★ Mr John Pizza $16 with Tomato, Mozzarella, Pesto and Hot Salame MOST POPULAR! The pizza was spicier than I expected but the combination of mozzarella and pesto was delicious. The crust could've been a bit chewier in my ...
