Riddik

Best Known For

Pasta Calamaretti: calamari, pork sausage, sugo di pomodoro and chunky seasonal vegetables.

Once a bank, Riddick on The Mall in Templestowe Lower is one of Melburnians favourite places to eat no matter the occasion. This café, bar and restaurant boasts leather booth seats ideal for catching up with friends or for after-work drinks, while polished concrete floors and beamed ceilings add to the rustic charm along with potted greenery and an abundance of natural light streaming through large windows. Breakfast-goers devour smashed avocado, heirloom tomatoes, strawberry and basil medley, shanklish, prosciutto, balsamic glaze and poached eggs; join a lively lunch crowd for soft-shell crab sliders with dill slaw, sriracha and Chinese five-spice. Perhaps an Angus beef burger hits the mark, with double cheese, tomato, onion, pickles, burger sauce and bacon, on toasted brioche with chips.
