Organising to meet a friend here, we texted ‘picnic, 60 toorak rd’. We waited for a while then ordered coffees. My husband wants it known that if you like your coffee strong, this is one of the best he’s had. Me, I can vouch for the hot chocolate – very yummy and in a very nice mug as well.

Perusing the menu, we called our friend who was puffed. According to him, if you type 60 Toorak Road into Google Maps, you get nearby Fawkner Park. He was looking for us, having a picnic somewhere in its 41 hectares! Quickly we set the poor soul straight and he arrived with a healthy appetite.

Picnic is one of those very good-looking places. The space is large and white and the people are beautiful. Everyone is wearing their sunglasses inside, the cutlery is delivered in individually wrapped paper sheaths and everything looks ‘just so’. Not necessarily sounding good for bubs?

Wrong! From the moment you enter, the staff are helpful and friendly. The tables are large and pram access is fine. The menu is large and interesting, there is also a cake and sandwich selection at the front counter. Oh, and did I mention you could just pick up some bread to take home as well?

Great food, service in a bright and airy place, there were a number of young families enjoying weekend breakfasts just like us. Just be sure to make sure your friends know you are picnic-ing inside not out!
