So we headed down to Port Melbourne on the weekend and decided to have coffee and a pastry at a restaurant called Campari (2 Waterfront Place - Station Pier, Port Melbourne) Phone: 03 9676 9230. The location is great, overlooking the water and the million dollar yachts of the wealthy.. it is nice to pretend that one of them is yours.
Well, the service here was mixed - the two male waiters were lovely and attentive BUT the young female was terrible. She did not bring any water to the table, mixed up the coffee orders twice and was quite unpleasant.
When we finally received the correct order for drinks, our coffees were very weak. It is disappointing to find so many bad coffees amongst such an array of great cafes and restaurants in Melbourne.
The prices of the croissants were quite high, although this was expected because we were in the 'trendy' suburb of Port Melbourne. I ordered the croissant with strawberry jam ($6.00) but was told "We have run out of our strawberry jam" so I decided to have orange marmalade instead. I was quite disappointed when the dish came out with two sachets of Kraft marmalade, not even home made jam. The croissant was yummy, despite the processed spreads :)
The other croissant ordered was with ham, cheese and tomato ($8.00). This was a little soggy because of the tomato.
Overall, it was an okay brunch but nothing exciting. Campari has a large menu for both lunch and dinner, unfortunately I do not think that I will be back to try it.
