The Food Smith
Delicious
looking meals are displayed in the front window of The Food Smith in Hampton to
entice you in... The Food Smith is a food store/café where you can pick up your
dinner on your way home from work and enjoy a homemade meal without the effort.
They pride themselves on the quality of their food and try to source their
products locally where possible. The seating in the café is fairly limited and I
would say that the focus is more food store than café.

WHAT WE ATE...
I was
going out for dinner that night so I wanted something light. I chose the ‘Savoury
Muffin ($5.00)’ which arrived on a wooden board with a pat of butter. Unfortunately,
they had reheated the muffin to oblivion so it collapsed into a pile of mush.
It was difficult to part the muffin away from the baking paper so most of it
was left behind. A very light meal indeed... The actual muffin with pumpkin and
capsicum was not very exciting and needed some cheese to add flavour.

My dining
companion picked the ‘Ham and Brie Tart with salad ($12.50)’. The salad was
delightful but the tart was bland.

WHAT WE DRANK...
The Iced
chai with ice-cream ($5.00) sounded good but it was a rainy day so I decided to
have a coffee. My Latte ($3.90) made with Dukes Coffee and Schulz organic milk
from Timboon tasted wonderful. Coconut sugar was offered on our table which
made an interesting change.

SERVICE...
We were
not sure if they provided table service or not as we did receive some table
service to begin with when we ordered our coffees. In the end, I ordered the
food at the counter.
