Nellie Melba Village Cafe - Wheelers Hill Review update 29/12/2023
The salmon bagel is exceptionally good. Full of salmon, and at very good price. Review Update 2/12/2023
[ invited my friends to try the pies, and the secret is out. They have been telling their friends how good the pies are, with the thin crispy pastry top and casting, filled with lots of hearty meat. These must be best pies in town!

The Chicken Vegie has real chicken based stock with bits of very tender chicken. Very taste indeed. Review Update 23/11/2023
Have some relatives come to visit, and decide to have a simple lunch at this Cafe. The pastry of the pies are not thick, and the fillings are generous, whether it is beef stroganoff pie or chicken mango pie.
This is the same with pizza too, with good quality topping. For salad lover, the flavour of the dressing is divine. It is NO ordinary salad, it is the chef's special.

Once you enter this 5-star hotel like foyer of Nellie Melba Retirement Village, you may enquire at the reception where this Cafe is, or turn left after the entry.
It is meant for residents and friends / visitors to have a snack or a quick meal, over a cup of coffee. Many presidents and outsiders may not know about this gem, but no one has been denied service for a light meal.
Soups, salads, pies, pizzas, frittata, fried rice, sliders, sandwiches and more are prepared in-house by the chef. The menu board may only show a couple of specials, but feel free to ask the friendly staff for recommendation. Besides these, it also sells a good variety of cakes, scones, muffins, pastries, icecream, etc.
I have eaten several items. As a lamb lover, I love the home-made lamb pie. Recently, I tried the Hokkien Noodle and Salad. For the uninitiated to Asian food, Hokkien noodle is a thick yellow noodle, the forefather of spaghetti. It flavour is similar to the Vietnamese salad, with touch of tangy and very light spicy taste.
Patrons can enjoy their food and coffee in air-conditioned meal area. On sunny days, there is an option to dine in the patio, enjoying pleasant surround of Nellie Melba...
