The Greenery Cafe & Modern Vietnamese Restaurant Williamstown creates and serves Asian and Vietnamese fusion dishes as well as modern cafe classics.
As you walk to or past The Greenery it makes a definite impression as it just looks that bit different and stands out from the crowd. I have to admit this is what caught our attention so inevitably we had to make our way to The Greenery.
The Greenery is a bit of a looker as far as cafe and small restaurants go. It's not perfect and some things could be removed, eg, the till in the 2nd room and TV screen kind of detract from the overall efforts to make the cafe look special.
Despite this The Greenery still makes a positive impression decor wise and definitely does entice you to enter. Mission accomplished!
The Greenery also manages to have a reasonably nice outdoor area on the high street that can also be enclosed to help protect you from the elements. This has some nice French design elements and they do as best they can making the high street quite attractive.
The food has a modern touch and they try to show off a bit of flair as well to make things interesting. The menu is an interesting combination of western classic brnuch offerings mixed in with their own fusion Asian Vietnamese mix.
Personally I like this mix. You get everything from the clasic New York Reuben sandwich, BLT, Taco's, BLAT, fish sandwich bolognaise spaghetti, spicy prawn pasta, spaghetti carbonara, salt and pepper calamari, herbs and parmesan parma and more from the Western side of the menu.
While Asian inspired lunch dishes include as salt and pepper chicken ribs, chicken rendang, mixed veges and tofu, crispy ginger fish, chicken curry, chicken roti, beef roti, Vietnamese chicken salad, crumbed chicken salad, szechwan calamari salad, caesar salad, spring rolls, chicken satay skewers, fresh rice paper rolls, vermicelli noodles, banh xeo, pork belly.
Anyway, as you can see, the options are very very extensive.
Cakes and desserts: The Greenery also has an extensive range of cakes and desserts and if this is your kind of thing might be another reason to entice you into The Greenery.
And to top things off they also have quite the range of alcoholic beverages so if you enjoy your wine this could be another reason to visit The Greenery.
As far as food quality goes our experience was definitely positive without anything screaming amazing. We have nothing to complain about and would definitely visit The Greenery again.
Location

In A Nutshell
The Greenery is a great fusion Asian Vietnamese cafe that also has an extensive western menu as well as a great selection of cakes and desserts. With typically great coffee thrown in as well as an extensive alcoholic menu they have got you covered for your drinks. With it's nice Vietnamese and French themed decor The Greenery makes a positive impression.
Maybe not best of the best but definitely worth visiting. We would happily come back again that this is our seal of approval.
