Mokosz Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

My daughter lives in Elwood and she recommended that we ,my mother (91) , myself and daughter try Mokosz. My mother has a plain palate and my daughter said that there was “ normal” food she would enjoy!! The cafe was situated in a lovely old shop with high ceilings lead lights glass, painted white with black contrast and it felt lovely clean and bright The seating was also very comfortable with a choice of alfresco on the street or inside with a cosy alcove included The ambience of the place was relaxing comfortable and pleasurable. The menu had plenty of options including brunch/breakfast, more hearty main courses and a good selection of chicken seafood meat and vegetarian/vegan dishes . Plus different sizes of sides if of you just want to snack. We weren’t very hungry so ordered fresh juices, so yummy, small fries with fresh sourdough bread and butter for mum, and Z and I shared a big bowl of sweet potato fries. The presentation was awesome and came with tomato sauce and aolie. Generous servings I was observing other diners meals and the dishes looked delicious and beautifully presented. I was really impressed with Mokosz, it has a blend of modern creative dishes and there is something for everyone . There was interesting little wine list, and I can’t wait to return with my daughter and try the crab and chilli scrambled eggs! And enjoy a glass of Italian...

I said to him “no don’t give it to her as i had already drank some” And he said to my friend, “oh you don’t mind do you?” After telling him again you can’t give her that drink he reluctantly said oh I guess we could make a new one then. In what world do you give someone’s drink to another person after they’ve drunk from it?? I don’t mind mistakes but that’s not a way to fix it. And no you’re lucky I wasn’t allergic lol. The food was...

We visited when they first opened and there were some serious teething issues which I’ll forgive particularly given they made a strong gesture on the bill, however, I went back after some time had passed and there is definitely still a concern with the staff for me. They seem to congregate speaking to each other and not attempting to serve anyone. This occurred both when I was trying to order and pay, and when I was trying to flag down a missing dish. Nevertheless the food was tasty enough and the place is certainly pumping (I suspect largely owing to the monopoly it holds in the vicinity. Pretty decor, which they’ve seemingly focused on more...
