yestravel -will you want lunch or just coffee?

yestravel Feb 6th, 2017 09:23 PM

Having come from the food tour just coffee. If you prefer lunch we could do another day. At this point the week is pretty open so Monday the 13 or Thursday, 16th would work.

I can meet for coffee on the Tuesday either in Carlton or CBD . I could also do lunch in Carlton on Thursday. Looks like only me .

Let's do lunch on Thursday. I don't even know what or where Carleton is, so if you give me a time and address we'll be there��

Carlton is a great spot, it's not far north east of the CBD. It's been globalised somewhat but had a big Italian influence for a long time. Plenty of great food options. Look for King & Godfree in Lygon St. A providore of all things Italian and owned by the uncle of DH since the 1950's.
Wish I was there....

King and Godfree has been closed for renovation for about a year - one part ot it is one by the grand daughter of Carlo Valmorbido "Pidapipo" a gelateria which only last week when I walked past had queues out the door.
My family has lived n Carlton since 1860 .
GTG - University cafe 257 Lygon street . Swanston Street trams get you there ( Melb. University stop ) then 5 mins walk to Lygon street .
Please let me know me numbers so I can book.
