Newly opened Port Melbourne cafe Lilijana Eatery has been getting rave reviews from just about everyone, including a spot in the Good Food Guide’s Top 30 Cafes after just three months!

The Nordic-inspired specialty plates are a must-try, featuring house-made ciabatta, crostini, and house pickles fermented on-site. Start your day right with breakfast of Norwegian Rye Waffles or the Sea Plate with house-cured salmon, jammy eggs and creamy dill-infused ricotta (also made in-house). Pair with a Zest coffee or a Nordic Spiced Cold Brew.

From 2 to 4 pm each day, embrace Fika, the Swedish tradition of slowing down mid-afternoon, over coffee and a Scandi-inspired pastry for $9.50.

The team also hosts workshops upstairs, including sourdough making, pickles and preserves, and still life drawing.
