Cafe Ottimo, Ultimo

Veal schnitzel with salad $5.00

Sometimes you just need a good dose of fried with a smattering of salad. And a $5 outlay helps your meal go down better as well.

We headed to cosy Cafe Ottimo again for a quick lunch the other day.

Plenty of office workers and students were crowding this modest cafe but we were quick to grab a table and peruse the extensive blackboard menu. The lure of deep-fried devotion however, proved too great and within minutes a piping hot, crispy, juicy freshly-tanned schnitzel arrived on our table garnished with a hard-working fat-absorbing salad (it's true, it really does).

Nothing glamorous but comfortingly good. And it's only just around the corner from both Beb and Bourke Street bakeries. Bonus!
