Liminal

Instagram: @ediblemelbourne The space is absolutely gorgeous - located on the ground floor of 161 Collins St, this place screams elegance and grace. Beautiful sections of tables with some communal ones, some private and some wavy-shaped couches. Very well thought through. Ordering here is through Mr Yum - sadly the system takes away from the elegance the interior promises. They've got an A4 sized QR code on the table as well as the table number as a round cut out. Not a very good impression in our humble opinion. We ordered a magic and the Hot Chicken Roll. They have two menus here, one for breakfast until 11 and one for lunch from 11 onward. Somehow Mr Yum allowed us to order from the lunch menu. The staff were amazing in accommodating it - they just advised that it might take a little longer (which we were fine with) BUT it actually came out so fast. The coffee was plain and simple not good - it was lukewarm, the cream was not great and sadly it was on the weaker side - more like a flat white 3/4 full. The Hot Chicken Roll was delicious - with small crispy bits of chicken skin, beautiful rotisserie chicken in a fresh, warm, brioche roll and a generous amount of gravy on the side. We didn't think that the gravy on the side was necessary and for the price ($16), we thought that some crisps of some sort would have made for the great addition and would have added value to it. Service is absolutely incredible - all smiles, professional, polite and fast. The takeaway section is full with fresh, delicious baguettes, toasties and things to go. We will visit again to try more.

Liminal was on my list to visit in Melbourne and it was worth it. The food was delicious, great interior and open plan kitchen. Lots of office workers from nearby offices and the vibe is interesting as it looked like it’s located in the lobby area of an office building (I think...) overall cool place
