Jungle Juice Bar — Restaurant in Melbourne

Every once in a while you will encounter a weird place, just pick up all your boxes. For me, that is Jungle Juice. A trendy short street in the central square between Flinders Street and Collins Street, this small (I mean small - 19 square meters all) is very big in style and personality. From the retro Little Golden Books menu to the alternative posters on the wall, Jungle Juice exudes Melbourne's renowned café style. Even simple things, such as the tabletop on a ping-pong table, the old Slades water bottle, or even a small spoon from the 1950s to stir my coffee, is a feeling of separating men and boys (excused by sex discrimination) This is the only one I can think of). It's everything that has been well thought out, but it has evolved with new ideas and owners. There are very few tables, this is what you need. This is not the place you have to eat for two hours (although I am sure some people do this). This is a place to eat, drink, chat and move. The food is simple but tastes great.

I actually think that's better for a bagel sandwich. It seems small but I got mad full once I devoured that bad boy. Not bad at all. Pretty good deal if you are getting coffee too ($14). FYI, the space is seriously small so I usually do a takeaway, but that alley definitely has its own chaotic yet beautiful...

These guys make the best Gluten Free Reuben sandwich I’ve ever tasted. And I’ve had every Reuben sandwich in the world. In fact I even met the guy the sandwich is named after. Reuben Rolfenstein Rollybloster. Absolute A-hole but you gotta give it to the guy he invented a solid sanga.

And I don’t know what kind of gluten free bread these guys are using but if I ever find out I’ll do something crazy, like…like ride around on a bicycle onCollins St in nothing but a fedora and some pink zinc on my face. Singing one of La Bouche’s tracks, such as Be My Lover.

Seriously, thanks guys for a fantastic sandwich, it warms my heart and my belly! Your friendliness is appreciated during these times too (and I loved your picture of me...
