Having found out about the sculpture park at Mount Monument Wines we were determined to make a visit in person. We were definitely impressed and can highly recommend Mount Monument Wines.
It is a cool looking venue, is very stylish, has great wines excellent food and exemplary customer service. Mount Monument stands out from the crowd and that is to be applauded. Highly recommended.
If you are visiting Mount Macedon make the extra little effort to get here and be rewarded.
Mr. Macedon Cafe is actually in the town centre of Macedon rather than what most visitors think of the centre of Macdeon being the main tourist road Mount Macedon Road. Alas for the casual visitor who doesn't go to the town centre they are truly missing out on probably the best dining establishment in Macedon.
We talked to the cafe's owner who makes an effort to get around his cafe and loves to talk to the customers. He really does like to promote the great things about Macdeon.
You wouldn't be mistaken to think you were in a trendy cafe in Melbourne when you come to Mr Macdeon. This place is pumping and the locals certainly know where to go. We've been to Macedon twice recently and both times Mr Macedon was packed.
Mr Cafe is located at 23 Victoria St, Macedon VIC 3440 approximately 50 minutes from Melbourne CBD.
If you are already in Macedon then it's only an 3 minute drive from the town centre.
When
Mon – Fri 7am – 3pm
Sat – Sun 8am – 3pm

Little Growling Cafe in Tarneit Melbourne Australia
Little Growling Cafe is a nice unpretentious cafe with a modern if typically generic kind of feeling cafe. It's kind of standard in the suburbs but depeding on what seat you manage to snab you can get a nice view of the parklands.
Little Growling Cafe serves up a fairly standard modern western contemporary style menu. It has the usual brunch lunch selection such as a selection of burgers, toasted sandwiches, pancakes, big breakfast, milkshakes. To their credit Little Growling Cafe has a special if small kids menu.
Little Growling Cafe is getting busier and busier all the time. They do have the benefit of being the only cafe around but it's not only this. Little Growling Cafe has kept the pricing competitive and the dishes are all very well presented. You do feel like you are getting a nice cafe experience here.
Little Growling Cafe isn't in any way what I call hipster. That's par the course in the 'burbs and not a complaint in any way. The cafe has a semi rustic styling if you manage not to be in the main cafe area and there is outdoor seating too if the weather permits.
What sets Little Growling Cafe apart from lots of cafes is the extensive playground for the kids. This is really a standout with a giant slide, climbing ropes, swings and more! I know lots of families come here and take advantage of the play area for the kids.
Little Growling Cafe is almost certainly a cafe for the locals. As is typical in the outer suburbs there isn't much in the way of choice and selection. However for those with an open mind this is quite a good cafe to come to if you have children, are visiting friends nearby or want to view the developing and expanding housing estates.
In a nutshell
Little Growling Cafe may not appear to be the most trendy cafe going around. However the food is very well presented and looks special on the plate, the food tastes great, it's popular so there is a bit of a vibe (at least in the weekends) and it has a super duper playground for the kids. While really for locals if you live close enough, are looking for somewhere new to eat and have children this may be worth a look.
Location
Little Growling Cafe is located at 180 Davis Rd, Tarneit. This is a 15 minute drive from Werribee.
