mothersMilk

17 Chapel Street, Windsor. (03) 95214119
The Windsor-end of Chapel Street is maturing into a trendy, fun place to hang out, and mothersMilk is a case in point.

While it’s not terribly new to the scene, it has managed to retain a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere that makes it still feel like it’s the brand-spanking new kid on the block, with sky-high intentions still in hand.

Big, worn leather sofas punctuate the main room, with a large open fire-place.  Outside there are benches and tables and a lovely terrace upstairs that you can hire for events, with a small minimum fee.

There is a good wine list, with options by the glass, and beers on tap. There is also a cocktail list with offerings from about $15 to $20. The night we were there they were also reasonably flexible about fixing us up with mixed drinks that weren’t on the menu.

And because they don’t serve food, they allow people to order pizza from the joint next door and have it brought over. A tip: if you’re going to go for a pizza, make sure you go for the gourmet offerings – the classics are somewhat lacking. But the pumpkin patch, for instance, which is feta and pumpkin-based, is absolutely mouth-watering.
