Mama Marijas

Update 18dec2021: Alex informed me today that the business has been sold to two Italian guys who will most probably open up a café also. Alex will close permanently on Friday, Christmas Eve, 24dec. A sad farewell to another of my long-time favourite eateries. It's like losing a family member! Good luck to you both. I know you will do well again as you know what it's all about. ****** Update 9dec2020: They're back! Having survived the pandemic lockdown. I'm so pleased as they are a long-time favourite. Summer is here and the offerings are appropriate to the season. Today had the spinach quiche with Greek salad, no feta, and tomato relish. Light, delicious and refreshing for this beautiful day. Recommended. They made use of the lockdown and gave the interior a lovely refresh, along with some tasteful Christmas decorations in readiness. Go visit, you won't be disappointed. ****** Mother and son business, Marija is the cook, Alex the son and server. Friendly and engaging service, the kind where one's preferences are remembered without prompting. Food is prepared fresh and served with chef-y flair and is delicious. Recent dish experienced from the all day breakfast menu was a simple omelette with mushrooms, spinach and parsley on two slices of dry toast (see photos). Came promptly. Highly recommended. All day breakfast, lunch and catering. Wheelchair access via the back entrance from Market Square at Prahran Market. Kid-friendly. Hours: 7-3 Mon-Sat.

What a cute little cafe with ultra friendly staff and possibly the best vegan breakfast I’ve had around melbourne so far. Granted I’ve only been vegan a few months, but when this masterpiece came out to me my eyes lit up like a kid’s on a candy store! It was delicious. It’s great seeing places have dedicated vegan options on their menus more and more. Very impressed.
