It’s hearty, nostalgic, and absolutely one of our favourite dishes in Melbourne right now.
The best part? Pie Floater Tuesdays are now a thing — every week from 5pm, just $25. Trust us, you need this in your winter rotation.
Sitchu Tip: Vegos, you’re not forgotten. There’s a soul-warming homemade Vegetable Curry Pie on offer too, served with a greens salad, chips, and their house tomato sauce.

It’s giving cosy-girl-core in all the right ways.
