What better way to unwind than with a satisfying Italian meal, complete with wine? My brother and I spent the day strolling along the Chapel St shopping precinct and stopped for lunch at La Camera, a cosy restaurant with both indoor seating as well as an al fresco dining area. We rested our feet and chatted a bit with the friendly waiter, who was perfectly attentive.
We had the lunch special, and I ordered the Risotto Pollo with steamed chicken fillet, sauteed mushrooms, sundried tomatoes and baby spinach. This, together with the wine, was priced at just AUD$12. Such a good deal! We waited quite awhile for our food to be served, despite the fact that the restaurant was mostly empty at that time, but the food was well worth the wait. The food was delicious, and really, you can't go wrong with such great prices.
Amos had the AUD$15 pizza special, and settled on the prosciutto and rocket pizza. We both loved the thin crust of the pizza and thoroughly enjoyed polishing off both dishes. It was a beautifully idle afternoon, people watching over a relaxing lunch.
To sum it up, I'd sayLa Camera offers one of the best and most value-for-money lunch deals I know of, and I would certainly recommend this place if you're looking for a place with decent food that's easy on the pocket. A wide variety of mains are also offered under the lunch special, so you'll have plenty of choices to pick from. Most of all, I'm so pleased I've discovered a new and affordable lunch option in Melbourne! :-)
