Food- Banff


Banff-

145 Fitzroy Street. St Kilda








Yet another biased review. I love love love this place. Get the gist?

I have been here several times, with several different people and each time I get lost in the buzz that is Banff.

Several conversations regarding the ambience and interior/layout of this venue have left me feverishly defending everything that is right about this venue.

Why do I love Banff so much?

1. It is busy. The vibe is constantly upbeat. There wont be any awkward silences here.
2.The food is quick, not to mention amazing.
3.The crowd is diverse. From young to old, trendy to so uncool, everyone comes to Banff.
4.It is dirt-cheap.

It is almost too hard to take in all the details of Banff because of its constant flow of customers. For those who are too absorbed in the food heres a quick glimpse as to the ins and outs of this quirky addition to Fitzroy Street.

-Your wine is served in a latte glass- so couth.
-The lamp bases are made out of wine bottles
-There are no menus, just giant blackboards proclaiming a plethora of delicious meal choices.

The Food at Banff cannot be flawed. Pasta is served in mini frying pans; salads are fresh and the pizzas amazing.

I’m sorry Lucky Coq; I have moved on- to bigger and better things; to Banff.

Don’t go past #6 the bolognaise pizza. A romance made in heaven, these two meals were meant to be together.

Make sure you leave room for dessert; banana, toffee, chocolate and cream calzone is the perfect end to the night.

Banff has an extremely casual and comfortable vibe in which you can rock up to and feel at ease almost instantly. It’s the perfect spot for a weekday dinner, an afternoon Chai or a weekend date night. You might have to wait for a table but it is definitely worth it.

I'm thinking I have to head over to the real Banff in Canada. If it’s anything like this bar/cafe, I will never leave.

Date Rate: A must for first 1st, 2nd, 3rd and forever after outings.
Hangover Happy: you can drink whilst you eat!
Coffee cure: the food rates first.
Price: More than Lucky coq- understandably.
