Published - 09 January 2018, Tuesday

Tusk Cafe, is a bright and friendly mostly outdoor cafe in Windsor.

Known for it's yummy breakfasts and delicious share plates it's the perfect space for alfresco dining on Chapel Street

A golden oldie is the Mushrooms on toast with spinach + poached egg. Delicious!

"To me, a melbourne boy living in sydney, Tusk is a melbourne institution that I return to on every visit home. The food and coffee are always spot on, and the waitresses are the best. Always there to meet your needs with a smile on their faces. The owner oversees his business morning till night assuring that the consistency he values is always on display in all areas of this magnificent chapel st cafe. Tusk has it's own style that I haven't seen anywhere else." Phillip Harkin

I was in Melbourne this week and it was one of the memorable weeks I have had. We visited this great old haunt. TUSK on chapel street in Windsor the better end of Chapel street I have always believed. It was time for a late lunch, well it was more like brunch and the eggs were cooked to perfection. The bacon not greasy at all and the crisp corn cakes were exactly that Crispy and all served with a lashing of Avocado smashed just to the right texture. Kathy had Mushroom risotto and Peter had a delicious Meat Ball Spaghetti dish which he dint seem to have too much problem demolishing...Top cafe to visit when you are on a sneaky weekend away from Expat Life and visiting the cooler climates. The bathroom was a little tardy. really needs to have a bit of a freshen up but overall a good experience and worth reviewing here.
