Nancy's of the Valley — Restaurant in Melbourne

Beautiful cafe with great styling, amazing/friendly staff. Excellent health choice options on the menu however the taste didn't deliver. I ordered the biggest meal called the Breakfast Brekky - The only things that had flavour on the plate was their feta which was divine, their nutty toast and their unique hash brown. The Mexican beans had no flavour whatsoever. The mushrooms and spinach were literally just out on the plate with no flavour, seasoning - Unsure why.

Add to that lacklustre service from a bored waitress and undercooked eggs and honestly - just not worth the cost. All of the uniqueness and warmth of the Cafe has been replaced with cheap ingredients and overpriced menu. It used to be packed on weekends, and now we were one of 3 tables. Won't be back, loads of better...

We tried a few different vegan & gluten free menu items & although we needed to add a little salt- we really enjoyed our meals! Those waffles!!!! Shout out the Monica & the lovely barista who's name we didnt manage to catch- you hospo legends really made a difference to our days & do a...
