My Son, Joy

Riding the wave of a low carb, high fat diet, My Son, Joy brings an inner-urban cool vibe to Coventry Street in South Melbourne. The latest venture of Papa Goose Chef/Owner Neale White and Annabel McKay, this café blends a simplistic white interior with mint green chairs, worn brick walls and suspended globes, to create a spacious haven away from street hustle. A paved courtyard with oak barrels and black stools, beckons alfresco diners as they peruse a high protein driven menu with all day options like Wagyu corned beef with poached egg, spinach, English mustard hollandaise and toast. Salivate over lunch dishes such as egg drop soup – chicken broth with egg, truffle oil, shredded chicken and chives; or snapper fillet with char-grilled broccolini, macadamias, celeriac and sauce gribiche.
