A neighbourhood cafe situated on the corner of Ralph and Beaconsfield streets, amidst apartments and office buildings. It was rather hard to find parking on a Tuesday (May 2018).
The coffee was excellent. The menu had several good lunch options - from burgers to pasta to steak and seafood. We had the 6-hour shredded lamb linguine, the meatballs with linguine (both pasta was al dente), and the salt and pepper squid (perfectly fried, and very fresh and tender) with chips (battered and crunchy with a lovely mealy potato-y interior) and salad. The waitress was attentive and kept topping up our water glasses.
Lunch would have been 5 stars if not for the following: the crust on the squid was too salty and overshadowed the sweetness of the squid. The shredded lamb didnât taste of lamb although there was a generous amount on the pasta, the meatballs were tender and cooked just right, but we couldnât taste the meatiness - perhaps a tad too much breadcrumbs?
Overall a pleasant experience. Not a destination cafe, but a nice staple to have in the neighbourhood, well-frequented by...

EVERY item on the menu is superb, and has a great sense of individuality, in that, whilst you may have had Salt and Pepper squid 100 times prior, I guarantee you have never had it like it is at D'Vine. Other outstanding offerings are, the Portugese Chicken Burger, ALL VEGETARIAN offerings, exceptional coffee, the fries are heavenly and unlike anywhere else, and the sauce that accompanies the fries, English has no words to describe it. Truly try this cafe, you won't be...

Hollie had incredible customer service and suggested a couple of her favourites from the menu which we went with and we were not disappointed at all. âThe Hangoverâ burger is the BEST Breakfast Burger EVER!!!!!!
