Porgies

The food was delicious! However, that's where my praise stops! Our drinks took 30 mins to arrive, when we asked about them, we were told they were busy doing takeaway service. I would think eat in customers would get preference over take away orders. We had to ask a second time for our drinks before they finally arrived! I contacted the cafe prior to booking, asking for a recommendation for the best place to sit with a toddler. They sat us on a table right next to the kitchen (so wait staff were constantly going in and out) not a great place to sit. We were also charged 10% weekend surcharge plus a card surcharge (with no written or verbal warning of either of these)! I won't be going back in a hurry!

Great service & food as always! We will be back again.

We were warmly greeted and had arrived an hour before our booking time. This was no problem at all and we were promptly seated at a lovely table outside. The staff were friendly and efficient adding to the lovely vibe of this cafe offering a range of delicious options. We were well looked after, well fed and left very happy. 😊 I would highly recommend a visit to this gem when in Hawthorn.

Very hot day and we sat in the covered area outside because it was quieter. Maybe we should have gone to the shady area at the back as it was too hot where we were. Fodd was very good and enjoyed by all.

Amazing staff and amazing food. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Lovely spot, quiet enough for a lunch time chat and good food and drink.

Perfect start to celebrate a Birthday day - great service and break options.

Lovely service, atmosphere and food! Coffee was also top tier!

For $80, we had three very small meals. The service was poor, and everything was rushed - they took our plate as soon as one person was done.

They were super accommodating as we had 1 yr old with us & very friendly. Nothing was an issue. The experience was great as usual. Food & coffee hit the spot for everyone. Thank you

Great food, the cafe has a really good feel and vibe.

Friendly staff who were attentive to needs of our daughter with Coeliac Disease. Yummy food in a relaxed environment. Thank you.

Food was lovely customer service was magnificent 🤩😊🤩 We will be going back 😊

Great food, greast service even if you cant get chips or parma. The eggs benedict were the best ive had, the green bowl was fabulous, the reuben delicious, the chicken sandwich tick and scrumptious.

Lovely welcoming staff, thoroughly enjoyed it, shall be back to visit

Great food and service, bit noisy but was ok. This restaurant is a favourite for me.

The place as usual was really busy, however the service was fantastic as was the food. tue staff are always so friendly and helpful

The staff were polite, friendly and attentive. The French Toast was tasty with plenty of fruit was not burnt or dry. The coffees long blacks and a magic were fine although I prefer a creamier milk texture.

Great food and great service. Definitely I will come back.

Great food, great staff and a good vibe. Recommend to others.

Great food and warm service- always a pleasure to celebrate at Porgies

I loved the feel of Porgies but when we were seated out the back in the Secret Garden the tables for 2 were very close together so we could listen to all the conversations atoned us and it felt like we were dining with them! Food was great though and coffee amazing too. Will come back but will book first.

A birthday lunch. All was very nice thank you very much.

Food and drinks were great. May need some acoustic work done inside I normally sit outside as usually with my dog so havent noticed the noise level before, but the food was GREAT!

Food and service was lovely. Courtyard area was great on a lovely sunny morning

My Eggs Benedict were Yum, and staff were lovely -thanks

Food was great 👍🏼 Table Service was good 👍🏼 Nice venue

Friendly staff and great food! Would visit more if we lived closer to the area. Thank you!

It was good. The quality of the new menu seems to deteriorate a bit compared to the old. But overall still nice experience. Big courtyard.

Really like the courtyard it’s very dog friendly. The food and coffee are also top notch.

Great service, personable staff - we will be coming back !

Great place, good food and very good service. Will go back again.

Food was nice but service was hit & miss! Too hard to attract staff attention.

Fabulous scrambled eggs and wonderful service. This cafe makes fabulous coffee exactly how you like it.

I love a cafe that is genuinely dog friendly and it's so nice to be able to sit in the garden at Porgies with my 4 legged mate and both be well looked after. I appreciate that Porgies were open on a public holiday, although associated penalties made it an expensive outing.

absolutely loved the green bowl very delicious - best I've had

Great cafe with big courtyard and beautiful natural light. Staff were super friendly, food took a little bit but was delicious when it came.

Delicious food, great coffee and a wonderful atmosphere. will definitely be back
