Mietta's Review
For breakfast, a snack or a loaf of bread Chirico's the spot. This specialist baker of Italian origins makes great sourdough bread in the middle of trendy St Kilda - fabulous. Try the baker's oven fresh muesli with poached fruit and yoghurt for breakfast, for lunch have his pie or mixed sandwiches. And, don't forget some bread to take home, loaves are standard price for artisan bakers, and if they're a bit smaller than others, well this is St Kilda after all.
