ABOUT GFGM

gastronomy
ɡaˈstrɒnəmi/
noun
  1. the practice or art of choosing, cooking, and eating good food.



Good Food, Good Mood was established after I realised how often I was asking myself the difficult question of "Where and what should we eat today?". The Melbourne food scene truly makes us spoilt for choice, so I am hoping my honest reviews can act as a guide for any occasion - from cheap eats to fine dining, to burgers and pizza on cheat days, to fresh and healthy on cutting days. Recommendations on places to try and review are always welcome, just leave a comment.

All photos are taken with my Samsung Note 4 or Sony NEX-F3 unless stated otherwise. Thanks for dropping by!

P.S. Shoutout to my friends and family who dine with me - thanks for not picking up your cutlery when the food comes out so I can take all my food photos... y'all know my camera eats first haha.

Manchester Press

Bagels. Doesn't it remind you of The O.C?

"Coffee's hot, and the cream cheese is room temperature, 
perfect for shmearing on a nice fresh bagel …"

Joanne and I volunteered some time ago and decided to devour something tasty after a stressful and sleepy morning of handing out pamphlets. She suggested Manchester Press. It was a wonderful experience sitting in a studio style cafe, with verrry cute waiters, sipping on fresh pineapple juice and chowing down bagels. Hidden away in Rankin Lane, it is one of Melbourne's gems in terms of quality food and service. They are known for their bagels and coffee. If you Google "manchester press" and click on images, you will see a vast range of exceptional coffee art. I did not order a coffee at my time there, but you'd be kicking yourself if you went and didn't order one. 


I didn't take many photos (except of the ones of food) but fortunately Google has everything and supplied me with these images:


As you can see, the menu is on a see through board which made it very exciting to read. It was tedious work to figure out what I wanted to eat because everything sounded delicious. I would most definitely recommend you all to go and pay Manchester Press a visit. Their sweet hospitality and renowned coffee is something that you will smile from and be sure to order the bagels (I ordered the egg bake and it was effin amazing to say the least). It was definitely worth the wait.
