Mietta's Review
Attached to the charming Eltham Library building, "do Lunch" enjoys a picturesque setting, with windows and a timber landing on the edge of peaceful parkland. Kids are virtually compulsory here and carnivores are discriminated against. Focaccia, pasta and salads are bubbling over with health, but don't despair, the cakes are sensational and probably dangerous. Breakfast until 11 am or so, is great, then after a satisfactory browse in the library, take a stroll along the Diamond Creek shared pathway to walk off the cake. Good coffee, good service and usually plenty of parking. This is also a perfect place to rest and eat, after a leisurely bike ride out along the Yarra cycle track from the inner suburbs.

Ginger Garlic Victoria
Well worth the trip to Eltham if Indian is your bag. Small and intimate in winter, with a terrace when the weather permits. The food is eclectic.
Love To Go Victoria
Mercer's Victoria
Set in a re-furbished Federation house, Mercer's is a very careful and innovative restaurant that's worth every bit of the drive to Eltham.
Noble House Victoria
High ceilings with French windows looking out to a pond make a Noble House suited to local families.
Steffen's Victoria
A converted house, one of Eltham's oldest buildings, quite airy and light, with off-street parking.
Sushi Wushi Victoria
VOLUMES Books Cafe Music Victoria
It's a perfect spot for coffee and a morning sugar top up while browsing the papers and patrons.
