Dimitri's Feast - Melbourne - 141 Swan Street, Richmond

I think that people are starting to realise that Greeks don't just last the distance at night, they perform well in the morning too.

I am not saying this because I'm Greek - no - it is a simple fact - olive oil produces healthy eggs.

And unlike Aussies who worry about high blood pressure all the time, Greeks think it is better to live less days than to live a s...less life.

A saltless life.

This is a place where you can really spend half an hour trying to choose from the menu. There is great savoury but french toast and pancakes with flavours of Greek - what to do?

My friend had her eggs scrambled with goats cheese, spinach and some herbs. The experience for her was fantastic but aspects were a bit soggy - spinach gets wet chefs, remove from the bread please.

My meal was eggsellent - perfectly poached eggs with a mixture of seasonal tomatoes, basil, goats cheese, olive oil and good bread.

The other girls had bacon with their eggs and said it was up there with the best pork around town.

This place is small, it is narrow and there is some alfresco action out back. But even though olive oil cans are used as seats to save space, there can still be a bit of a wait. Patience cos there is nowhere around town quite as pleasurable.

Lunch here is good, especially when you get a stew.

Dimitri's is now open for dinner - haven't tried it yet but will soon.

Great coffee too.
