The menu at Cafe Florentine is lengthy and full of gourmet options. For lunch, we recommend the asparagus puff pastry tart, the duck liver parfait, the braised lamb shoulder or the house-made three cheese gnocchi. At dinnertime, you can’t go wrong with the charcuterie board or the mussels in basil butter sauce before diving into mains such as the pork belly, the 250g Black Angus eye fillet, the veal schnitzel or the ravioli filled with creamy pumpkin and ricotta. Cafe Florentine’s desserts are amazing – make sure to sample the tiramisu with chocolate chips, mascarpone & espresso for a sweet finish to your meal at this Brighton favourite, just outside of Melbourne proper.
