    This cosy, beautiful cafe did not disappoint. We waited long for our food due to a big group before us. The food was worth the wait! We were given a piece of matcha madeleine for the 'inconvenience'. Lovely service. We will be back.

    Outstanding in every way from the moment you enter. There was clearly a lot of thought behind the restaurant. The room is lovely, tables set with linen. The room feels serene and luxurious. The food is superb, modern French with an Australian accent. Every dish was outstanding. Service is relaxed and friendly. I highly recommend a dinner at Malin. I look forward to a return visit.
