BIG HARVEST
Melbourne, VIC

Open since February 2002, Big Harvest is the brainchild of former corporate catering chef Angela Kellett who decided to open her own venue after the kitchen she ran with a close friend was sold. Today it caters for locals and visitors alike who are treated to Big Harvest's tempting fare weekdays from 7.30am. Get in early to nab a perch on one of the outdoor crates revelling in the sunshine, or knock elbows at the rustic communal tables.

Start your day with Morrocan-style baked beans with bide, home made Bircher mueseli and a glass of freshly squeezed juice. At lunchtime munch on a chicken and avocado baguette, a slice of spinach pie with a side of Middle Eastern inspired salad, or a chicken tagine with couscous. Finish with a cup of steaming Genovese coffee and one of many fresh slices on display.

Big Harvest offers catering and wholesale products such as a selection of salads including the beetroot, dill and walnut salad comprising freshly grated beetroot, mixed through with chopped dill and walnuts, roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds, complemented by an orange dressing. Takeaway is also offered.
