PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIA
Situated in the heart of Federation Square and open seven days, Cafe Chinotto offers quality Mediterranean meals that are big on taste but easy on the budget. Set over two levels, choose to dine overlooking the square with indoor or alfresco options or overlooking the BMW Edge.

Breakfast like a king on the king's breakfast: a plate of eggs, bacon, roasted tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms with hash brown on toast. For lunch try the tower burger: 100% beef burger, crispy bacon rashers, fried egg, tasty cheese, caramelised onions, pineapple and lettuce with tomato chutney and chips, or perhaps one of the tempting pizza options such as the Mediterranean vegetable pizza with roasted pumpkin, eggplant, capsicum, zucchini, mozzarella and Napoli sauce. For dinner start with an antipasto selection for two followed by the duck lasagne: duck, mushroom, bechamel sauce and a fresh garden salad. Alternatively choose the porterhouse steak, cooked to order, and served with mash, carrot batons, green beans and caramelised onions. Finish with the French-style baked blueberry cheesecake topped with fresh, juicy blueberries. The concise Australian and New Zealand wine list offers all options by the glass. Alternatively choose from bottled beers or a selection of traditional cocktails.

Cafe Chinotto - User Reviews

Jim B:

Whilst the location, outlook and ambiance are all fantastic we were disappointed in the service, one meal and the subsequent management response. One of our party of four had the lamb kebab meal and the lamb was definately off. Despite a strong marinade the offensive smell of tained lamb was obviously to everyone on our table. In outlining our concerns to the waitress an offer of a replacement meal was given. At that point there was no way that lamb was going to be consumed in the foreseeable future, such was the taste of the offending dish, so the offer was refused. Suggestions as to a refund sadly fell on deaf ears. A disappointing end to what would otherwise have been a good experience.review  23/03/2012
