The Lemon Tree Karingal — Restaurant in Melbourne

Have been here for breakfast twice in the past 2 weeks, previously this was my go-to cafe before I moved away from the area, I’d visit daily for coffee and on weekends for breakfast, and it has always been consistently great. The food is great quality and reasonably priced, the salmon tower is my fave brekky but the group ordered the big breakfast, scrambled eggs and a bunch of other meals and they were all perfect. The prices are also great, especially given the quality of the food.

The coffee is consistently great, but it is the staff that make the place. The owners are incredibly friendly and know everyone, if not by name, then by sight. The staff obviously love working here because they’re just as friendly and welcoming.

The atmosphere is “local cafe” without pretension or pomp, it’s comfortable and familiar, good selection of menu choices and great people, what more could...

I had lunch here with my son - we both had a regular burger with fries, and iced drinks (I had a coffee, he had a chocolate). The drinks were fine but I was really disappointed with the food.

Considering we spent ~$48 for two of us I'd expect something at least a bit tasty. The burger patties had no sear and a texture more like pulled pork, which was unpleasant for a beef patty. Think "falling to pieces" not "melt in your mouth". The chips had way too much salt on them and were verging on inedible for that reason, which is a pity because they were otherwise great (golden outside,...
