degustazione lunch at Journal Canteen, Flinders Lane
On the last day of my summer holiday before returning to work I enjoyed lunch at Journal Canteen. It’s been reviewed many times and I have nothing particularly new to say: the food is excellent, though in somewhat modest serves for the price, the staff are efficient, the room is cute and similar to the nearby Gill’s Diner, and overall it’s a good experience but one that you probably would not want to have too often. For more on Journal Canteen, read Spatula spoon and Saturday, Tomatom, Belly belly good food, Kong kay, the Design files, Belly good, Mel: hot or not and Eating Melbourne.
The dining room (above) and the menu (below). At $35 the degustazione is a good way to try different dishes but it makes for a relatively expensive lunch once you had a glass of wine (in my case a glass of the crisp, tart Michelini pinot grigio from north eastern Victoria, $9).
Antipasto (above) and penne (below).
Chicken with citrus and thyme sauce (above) and sardines (below).
Lettuce and radish salad (above) and wonderful peach and almond cake (below).
