Great Israeli food in Caulfield. Some dishes outshine the others in terms of flavour. Service is friendly and venue can get too loud when busy. Definitely recommend the shakshuka.

The refreshed interior of Fress matches it's vibrant service from the new owners. On a Sunday arvo this spot kicks on til 5pm. Good range of cooked and ready to go food items. Coffee was great...latte needed more milk and less froth. Loads of seating and easy on street parking near busy Bambra Road.

Fortunate to randomly select this cafe driving home through Caulfield over the weekend. The five of us which included one small child were served one of the most beautiful brunch meals I've personally ever had. Make sure to drop by if you're ever in the area, highly recommended.
