Little Drop of Poison

Little Drop of Poison Neighbourhood Tapas & Cocktail Bar with delicious w**es & craft beers. Wednesday-Saturday from 4pm.
(246)

Little Drop of Poison brings inner-city Melbourne chic to the leafy streets of Eltham. Gorgeous timber furnishings and bright airy sunlit windows create a warm and homely atmosphere, making the café the perfect place to relax with a freshly brewed coffee and a selection of beautiful food inspired by chef and owner Kobi Ruzicka’s travels. Dishes such as the coffee cured salmon served with crème fraiche are minimalist Scandi-inspired, while sharing plates such as the grilled asparagus with slow cooked egg and cauliflower croquettes spiced with yoghurt are on-trend and packed with moreish flavours. Whatever you do, don’t forget to take home a signature pumpkin cake with pumpkin seed praline – they are highly addictive.

The little local laneway bar where the regulars know the staff by name, the staff know theirs, everyone has a favourite spot and your usual might already be on its way.

Midweek winter nights were made for neighbourhood bars.

Pop in, have your usual — then have another.

You’re on the train thinking a croquetta and a glass of Syrah would be nice.

Just a quick stop before heading home to watch whatever it is you’re currently watching.

Five minutes later you’re at the bar.
The w**e arrives.
The croquetta arrives.
Life improves considerably.

Then a bowl of meatballs walks past.
Now you’ve got a situation.

Maybe dinner’s been made.
Maybe it hasn’t.
There’s only one way to find out.
You make the call.
“Come down.”

Twenty minutes later you’re both sitting in a tiny bar with dim lights, good w**e and a table full of things neither of you planned on eating.

The conversation gets going.
Another glass appears.
The meatballs disappear.
And somehow all the things that felt important an hour ago don’t seem all that important anymore.

Ta dah.
