lunch at Hot Poppy cafe, Errol St North Melbourne
After a mild case of Stendhal syndrome brought on by the magnificent imagery of Peter Greenaway’s Leonardo’s Last Supper projection at the North Melbourne town hall, I was in urgent need of rest and sustenance. A short walk to an old favourite, Hot Poppy cafe on Errol St, brought both. I’ve not been there for years, and I had a delicious smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese, avocado and capers. My friend’s haloumi and pumpkin salad was fresh but less enjoyable owing to the incredibly salty haloumi.

While older reviews from the Breakfast blog and Melbourne cafe reviews are still relevant, more recent ones from Eat more vegies and Shimmer and glow offer another perspective. I recommend Hot Poppy, but your experience will vary depending on what you order.
