Now, this is one of Mamma’s favourite hidden cafes in the north. Not only do CIBI serve up some of the most delicious and authentic Japanese food in Melbourne, they are home to one of the most amazing homeware shops around.

The menu includes both a traditional Japanese breakfast and lunch as well as one of Mamma’s favourite the Japanese Curry. Mamma loves the Chicken Soboro served with miso & ginger, soy egg, green beans, edamame & mizuna, a CIBI rice blend, it’s DELICIOUS!

The menu also includes Kid’s Plates, which include simple yet authentic tastes. These are always a favourite with the kids. CIBI is also the place to grab a coffee and some sweet with Japanese treats or pastries.

Now, let’s talk homewares! The Japanese have always been spot on with design and when you look around this place you will be introduced to utensils and bowls and books and homewares made to perfection.

It’s no wonder Mamma never leaves empty handed!
