Kanteen Cafe (Mlbourne, Australia) - Review

154 Alexandra Avenue, 
South Yarra, VIC 3141
(03) 9827 0488
Open Mon-Sat 7am-3pm; Sun 8am-3pm

 
Ah, the muddy Yarra River, with all its bohemian charm. Being from New Zealand and used to lush green native ferns and mossy trunks with plenty of oxygen, the murky yellow moors of the yarra reminded us of the dry unpredictable terror of the Australian terrain. But also just how innovative these people actually are. 
This modern "Kanteen" is a lovely example situated on the bank of the Yarra River. 

Further testament to the imagination of the victorians, its considered how lovely a sunday bike ride must be, destination: Kanteen. You can rent these bikes for something like $2.50 and ride along the river bank all the way to the cafe. Its a very pleasant journey and the cafe your reward. 

The food here will cost about $7 to $13 and ranges from breakfast to lunch dishes. You can check out their menu here. You will find that it is simple, and delicately made with excellent quality ingredients. I cannot say how good the coffee is as its was a scorcher of a day and all we could think of was buying an ice cold drink. 

The cafe sets the mood perfectly by playing lounge music. Combine that with the nature views, the simple but elegant architecture, and you have yourself a very enjoyable atmosphere.
