Eurodore
Editorial
Eurodore is a delicious combination of foodie things. It is part wine bar, part food store, part cafe, a place to pick up cheese and specialist ingredients, a place for a cup of coffee, a spot for breakfast or informal lunch, and a restaurant destination for a delicious dinner. It is one of the many lovely stores that line Port Melbourne’s Bay Street – an old-fashioned-style road perfect for shopping and browsing. Eurodore’s food store sells all manner of specialist foods, many sourced from specialist importers and distributors such as Simon Johnson and Will Studd’s Calendar cheese company. Beside the food store is the cafe and restaurant, in which a vast Baroque image of a Greek goddess looks down upon solid timber tables.
Breakfast offers everything from black pudding to semolina porridge, or eggs with a choice of nine sides. Eurodore’s concise lunch and dinner menus change weekly. The kitchen’s antipasto choices are particularly good, and might include a chicken sausage with beetroot relish, cheese croquettes, or prosciutto with roasted cherry tomatoes. If in doubt, go for the antipasto plate, which makes a decent lunch or can be shared as a starter. There are always salads, hearty sandwiches and pastas on offer, and perhaps among the entrees a wonderful baby chicken with giant couscous. Wine choices available by the glass are chalked up on a blackboard. The wine list changes often and, like the menu, is fairly short but full of thoughtful decisions about food and eating.

Eurodore is my favourite place to eat in Melbourne. Even interstate guests now ask that I take them to Eurodore when they visit. Excellent food, impeccable service, knowledgeable staff and a pleasant environment add up to make this place a great place to eat.

Breakfast is very good - great eggs, polenta, sausage etc. And the coffee is great. Not such a good lunch option as it's a little pricey.
