Down a very clean Melbourne Lane, just off Collins St is this beautiful restaurant and bar. Clearly it was not designed for breakfasts, and seems to be a lot more popular for dinners and drinks. Nevertheless, it is a great breakfast spot. Quiet, with very attentive waiters, the service at Comme really does shine. Despite the restaurant being near empty for the entire duration of our epically long four hour breakfast, the staff were more than happy to let us sit in the corner and enjoy our morning, interrupting us occasionally just to refill our water glasses and offer us more coffees.
The coffee is delicious, creamy and rich. The perfect start to the morning.
The food was very simple and the menu quite limited, but it delivered everything in elegant style with a focus on strong flavours. My cheese omelette was perhaps slightly overdone in terms of strong cheese flavours (a sentence I never imagined myself to say!). This may suit others though.
The grand staircase out the front, accompanied by a giant mirror adds to the glamour of this restaurant.
The actual highlight for me is the beautiful sign for Comme. I love the writing and the choice of a striking neon yellow/green sign. It is a treat to walk down Alfred Place just to see the sign in the doorway!
