Now I don\u2019t know about you, but some weekends I am feeling energetic after having a gruelling Saturday morning jog (not often!), and some Sunday mornings I am a little groggy from the previous nights festivities,<strong> I am however, hardly in the mood to have to dress up to go out for a nice breakfast or brunch to curb my morning hunger.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Little Captain, a cosy little caf\u00e9 situated in the quieter streets of St. Kilda where locals filter in throughout the day to enjoy perfectly delicious, guilt-free fare without all the snobby pretensions attributed to many St. Kilda cafes and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Staff member Kim Douvoisin enthuses that all staff help with preparing new dishes daily to inject a splash of their own innovation and personalised input into the caf\u00e9. This effort creates a happy atmosphere where staff seems genuinely interested in what is going onto your plate.<strong> Without fussing too much, the atmosphere at Little Captain is perhaps what is most enticing. As a diner you feel relaxed, comfortable, well fed and well looked after.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deliciously displayed are comforting egg and bacon pides, colourful hearty salads, granola cookies and lush berry muffins that look mouth-watering with chunks of fresh apple bursting from the muffins surface.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight for me was the roasted vegetable lasagne. Jam-packed with perfectly roasted veggies, tasting fresh and cheesy \u2013 without any visible cheese floating in an all too familiar pool of grease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indeed Little Captain is a sweet little caf\u00e9, but venture outside to the courtyard and you will see plenty of locals enjoying this foodie find that offers simple and wholesome food.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Little Captain<br \/>\n353 Inkerman Street<br \/>\nSt.Kilda<br \/>\nMelbourne,<br \/>\nAustralia<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Tel: +61 03 9527 5207<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jacklyn Swiecicki<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little Captain Caf\u00e9, Melbourne, Australia &#8211; Restaurant Review Jacklyn Swiecicki Reviews&#8230; In Melbourne, caf\u00e9 culture is rife with trendy little eateries where customers feel like they have to get dressed up and actually put a comb through their hair before they attempt to eat out in public.
