The East Brunswick Bar Idda’s Sicilian deliciousness has been brought to Fitzroy with their creation of Bar Paradiso in the former home of Felice’s. They’ve retained the lovely interior and focused on the food, which is reassuring compared to places that seem to spend more money on the fitout than on the quality of the food. My poached eggs with cheese and olives was impressive, with the coffee also good.

This is on the Greeves St side wall of Alimentari. The author of the comment refers to a much faded and degraded paste-up by Miso, over which the Australia / Invasion day poster had been pasted. A slap-down from a disgruntled postgraduate tutor who perhaps has their own issues. I doubt wankery is the primary cause of Aboriginal dislocation and loss of sovereignty.

In 2009-2010 I was a Saturday regular at Felice’s. The owners were friendly and did good simple food and coffee. Then something went wrong and the coffee became terrible and I stopped going. I haven’t thought about Felice’s for a while but while walking past yesterday I noticed that it had closed. I can’t say I’m surprised. You can’t make bad coffee around here, where there’s so much competition, and survive.

This former church at the corner of Gore and Greeves streets was erected in 1859. According to the Australian Heritage Database, by the 1920s it had become a store and I’m not sure what it is used for now. Does anyone know?
