Green Sage Restaurant - TEMPLESTOWE

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The only positive aspect was the excellent service provided by the efficient gentleman who served us. However, the food left much to be desired. We ordered zucchini and corn fritters with bacon, Mediterranean smashed avocado, and The Schnitz. For drinks, we had a pot of tea, a strawberry milkshake, and a chocolate milkshake. The tea and chocolate milkshake were good, but the strawberry milkshake resembled more of a smoothie and was not enjoyable. My corn fritters were too floury and undercooked, lacking the desired crispiness. The avocado dish was bland and unappetizing, while The Schnitz was disappointing with thin, overly crumbed, and overcooked chicken. The bread was also slightly stale. The chips were the only redeeming aspect of the meal. The lack of salt and pepper on the table was a downside. As a family that dines out frequently, we were all let down and would not recommend or return to this restaurant. We chose to sit outside, which was pleasant aside from the smoke coming from nearby hairdressers stepping out for a cigarette break. Despite being wheelchair accessible and kid-friendly with ample parking, the overall experience was unsatisfactory.

I stopped by this cafe for a quick coffee while picking up a package. I ordered a cappuccino with almond milk and no sugar. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't terrible either. The small chocolate drop was a nice touch. The cafe had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. It's a decent spot for a coffee break on your way to work.

This restaurant is located next to the Exercise Physiologist I visit, and I used to be disappointed when I went for my Friday afternoon sessions because they were never open late after lunch. However, when I started going on Saturday mornings, I discovered a unique and delicious dish that has become a favorite of mine. Smooth, creamy, and full of flavor, it is now a staple for me. I also tried the Persian breakfast which was both unique and special. Overall, a real treat!

Green Sage provides delicious, tasty and delightful meals which are incredible value for money. You will leave with both your tummy and your wallets full. The Staff are super friendly and the ambience was peaceful, relaxing with a dash of hipster. All the food was devine. We had 6 people in total so the menu was truly tested. Highly recommended and worth the visit.

Dropped in on the way back from Heide gallery. Had the specials, lentil soup and the burger. Both came with coffee and just over $20 the lot. Great value and great meals. Coffee was terrific but could have been a little hotter. All in all highly recommended for lunch.
