Aquila Caffe Bar

Lunch: Buddha Bowl. I absolutely loved this and I would happily return to have again. The best Buddha Bowl I’ve ever tasted. The service was fantastic, there was a hic-up with a payment, however the dark haired young lady was extremely pleasant and helpful with sorting this. thank you for a terrific experience.

Good food just a bit pricey. Frequented by all the executive and lawyer types from the buildings beside. Typical attire is suits. Went for a company lunch at Melbourne Cup day and it was a set menu with oysters and charcuterie plate for starter then a choice of entree and main. I had the scallops for an entree and lamb rack for main. Very tasty. Pretty good service though because it was quite busy that time, food took quite a while to arrive.

Not a fan of the coffee here. Somehow it always tastes burnt. Came here for lunch today and it took us 30 minutes to order, after attempting to wave multiple waiters down. Ordered the Gnocchi - wasn’t very impressed. Gnocchi itself wasn’t light or fluffy, lacked in flavour and seasoning and was in long pieces instead of the traditional round, soft pillows of heaven. The sauce was too rich for me and lacked seasoning - I found myself reaching for the salt shaker throughout my meal. Update - A few days ago I thought I would give this place another go and ordered a Chai Latte. Surely that can’t be stuffed up. I was wrong. My Chai Latte, if you can even call it that, tasted like bland, warm milk. Just warm milk. Not a hint of chai or spice. Sorry, but I’m taking away another star from my last review.
