I bought a groupon for Dip In, but if I lived in Melbourne I would gladly become a regular at full price!

Dip In serve most of their meals in a house baked bread bowl. I opted for the Mushroom Madness (pictures attached) "Spinach and cream cheese dip with two poached eggs, halloumi cheese and a medley of marinated mushrooms."

It was freaking delicious! The bread bowl was very fresh and crisp, and everything inside was cooked to perfection. I want these guys to teach me how to make such a perfect poached egg!

From the menu description I was a little uncertain about the addition of the halloumi, but it was an absolutely magical touch - the salty cheese just went perfectly with the other ingredients.

Oh, and did I mention they make their juices fresh to order? Also delicious!

I'm only in Melbourne for 5 nights, and I usually have all my meals at different places so as to try as many things as possible, but I may need to break that rule on this trip and return here on the weekend :D

The staff were also friendly and cheerful. As I ate I saw many business types coming in for takeaways, and it was obvious that they were all regulars. I would be too if I lived here!
