Auction Rooms
More than just a coffee roastery
Since opening in 2008, Auction Rooms has been dishing out breakfast and lunch and receiving high praise along the way. In February 2012 this North Melbourne Cafe won the title of Melbourne's best coffee, by a panel of (The) Age readers.
Purveyors of speciality coffee, Marcus Mottram and Andrew Kelly, have extended their hours and service to dinner, much to my delight.
Sample the food, and savour the coffee. A homage to the 'bean' is what this place is all about.
Eat: Unless you're a regular, the menu is a mystery (there isn't one on the website).
For breakfast and lunch you can expect the usual suspects including eggs, bircher muesli, braised beef sandwich. Dinner, served three nights a week, is designed to share or enjoyed a la carte.
Veal appears to be a running theme through the dinner menu with starter caramelised veal sweetbread with apples and ginger, followed by veal rib with smoked potato puree with green asparagus as a main. To share, 'a perfect roast chicken', Jerusalem artichokes and 24 cloves of garlic is sure to put a POW in your punch.
Fancy some sweet corn risotto just to be different? The chilli and lime give it a spicy and zesty twist.
