The first entrees that came out were delicious but it was downhill from there. Mains consisted of a slab of gluten meat with minimal sauce and some dry overcooked root vegetables. The desserts were small and lacklustre. Overall, a very disappointing and over priced meal.

What a wonderful find with great food and super friendly staff. This cafe was 70m from our airbnb and open everyday of the Easter long weekend. Expecting it to be crowded we ordered takeaway easily over the phone. It was ready at the time they said and we thoroughly enjoyed the chicken hero sandwich with crispy chicken skin, pork and fennel sausage and crispy duck fat potatoes. The red velvet tea cakes with strawberries, cream and blueberry jam were beyond moist m, soft and delicious and happened to be gluten free. Both hubby’s cappuccino and my Soy Mocha were the epitome of perfect Melbourne coffees. We ordered by SMS 2 days later and Donovan the owner recognised my order and remembered my name though I hadn’t written it in the text. I wish I had a cafe this great in Brisbane or Sydney where I live. I will definitely return to this cafe when I stay in the area next. Highly recommended! Thanks to the crew! 😊🙏

Such a beautiful go to cafe in South Yarra! So many delicious options and lots of gluten free options which is so great! This is my new favourite cafe near the city! Coffee is delicious!!

Absolutely divine. Food was incredible, service fantastic and a special mention to the chefs who handed me a little package of gluten free bread after I mentioned it was the best I’ve ever had!! Absolutely loved our night at Matilda, will most definitely be back.

Had been here previously a year ago but has seriously gone down hill since then. Cramped and over crowded making it extremely hard to hear anyone talk. Did bottomless and only got one drink in the first hour, we then tried to order 2 each the second round but were told we could only order 12 drinks for a party of 8 despite a table behind us order 3 drinks at a time. Menu item reads that certain food options are already gluten free without alterations, but discovered once arriving to the table that that is incorrect and you must request it to be gluten free. Took over an hour wait for food, with it even getting to the point if someone came over and asked if we had ordered. Food eventually arrived with it being cold. The waitress did deduct some of the bill due to the issue with the gluten free option but it failed to make up for the overall poor experience. Pay the extra money for bottomless and go elsewhere or make sure you’re here on quiet day. If they planned ahead or had a manager who made sure they knew what was going on they might have a chance.
