The items in this store are divine, some even sublime! Unfortunately the price is to match, but then the pieces are truly worth saving a little for. If only I had of received better service, I would have been RAVING about this store, it is so different and so well presented, truly European and vintage at the same time, BUT again, too many noses in the air for me to want to part with too many of my hard-earned dollars.

I was really disappointed after hearing all sorts of great things about this shop, they do have some great things that you won't find everywhere and they have presented it all really well, but in the end the service was AWEFUL - the true nose in the air too good to serve me or any other customers who came into the store while I was there, I was really put off giving them any of my hard earned cash. Also, after doing the rounds all over Melbourne for Christmas I found that they were more expensive than almost every other store with the same products. Lift your game folks - customers are not there to inconvenience you, they are the only reason you are there!

Don't go here expecting the service and range of what us Melbournites are now used to even in most of our shopping centres these days BUT you will find bulk amounts for much less and truly unique items which you won't find almost anywhere else in Melbourne. Initially created to service restaurants it then grew to service the local ex-pats as well so that explains the type of produce on offer - loads of cooking pasta's, cheeses, ingredients and heaps of canned and jarred produce as well as biscuits, sweets and grog. Really worth a visit if you need to do a bulk shop & stock up on your olive oil, olives, anchovies, and tinned beans.

An absolute GEM! I am so happy my girlfriend showed me this GORGEOUS shop - it is truely spectactular and really reasonably priced for what she has available, most of which is from Europe, but also some really fabulous Aussie goods too. The woman who runs the store is sooo helpful, she really bent over backwards to make sure I had the perfect gift for my perfect peron in time for Christmas. If you are looking for a remarkable gift that won't break the bank you have to pop in here - you will not be dissappointed.

I stumbled across these guys at the Paris to Prevence Festival this year, they are a husband and wish couple who a francophiles (LOVE anything French) and have written a couple of fantastic books, my fav - Finding France in Australia. My father-in-law is also a fancophile so we ordered the book for him via their website, to be sent directly to him (interstate) and even though we had left it kinda late it was wrapped and sent within the nick of time without any extra cost or complaint. He was WRAPPED and so were we - thanks!!!
