Classic film, classic pizza. Seriously original and tasty combination, by far one of the best in Melbourne.  I’ve been here a handful of times and the food and service have been consistently good. Go check it out!

Anna Karina (above), star of Bande à Part (and Jean-Luc Godard’s one time wife and muse) ate her (Karina) pizza here when she visited Melbourne last year for the International Film Fesitval. Pretty cool.  “Karina pronounced the pizza — grilled peppers, pesto, goat’s cheese and speck — delicious, and reminisced about her first experience of eating out in Paris at the age of 18, newly arrived from her native Denmark and unable to speak French. Determined to treat herself, she went to the famous Cafe Flore. “The only thing on the menu that I could afford was something called ‘couvert’, so I ordered that,” she recalls. The waiter informed her this was the word for cover charge. “He was very kind,” she adds. “I think he gave me a bread roll as I left.” The Age

Go eat the lambs brain tortilla at Bar Lourinhã, it is the shit. I’m amazed, there is nothing like it. So sweet and soft and delicious.

The raw wagyu is also delicious.

I just ate the most amazing braised wagyu beef at Bar Lourinhã. Seriously, go now or tomorrow, who knows how long it’ll be around.
