Trunk

They have an awesome location with outdoor seating which attracts many for food & drinks. Yet I failed to understand why they did not have sufficient number of waiting staff. It took a while and a bit of waving to grab attention of a staff. There are plenty of options for lunch, dinner and drinks. I went with my 6 other colleagues and after the lunch we all agreed that the food was just okay and deserved a three star rating out of five. The Chicken burger that I ordered had small pieces of chicken which kept on falling out of the burger. That's a little strange for a burger. Taste was okay and wasn't extraordinary. Fries seemed cold as if they were waiting to be served for a while. In all, wasn't the experience I was expecting.

It was actually a night out at pepe's.. Anyway! It was great, fantastic vibes and the food was solid. See pictures.. The 4 stars and not 5 is due to the broccolini which was to be honest... Incredibly underwhelming. Massive props to the lady who served our table. I regret not tipping her! She was fantastic (thanks for recommending the ice cream for one...)

Drink prices and range is fine. Outdoor dining is hit and miss in terms of where the heaters are on a cold day. Drinks take a while to come out. The biggest issue is that the smoking area isn't properly separated from the actual dining area, so the smoke permeates the entire garden with the faintest breeze.

Great little diner in a restored 1850s synagogue and a huge beer garden. The American diner style menu is great with a large selection of burgers, nachos, sandwiches as well as sandwiches. Beer selection is perfectly matched to the menu also. Whilst not the best in town at anything it does, Trunk is satisfying and myself and my mates will be back for sure!

I enjoy going to Trunk whenever I'm in Melbourne. The place has a nice feel and the staff are friendly. Last time I ordered the breakfast burger and felt regret as amazing looking pancakes were served to the table next to me. So, I didn't make the same mistake this time! These were so beautiful, fluffy pancakes and the whipped Mascarpone was amazing.
