So disappointed by the buffet breakfast at Allegro.
When we arrived, we were seated out our table and asked if we wanted a drink, and just left there. We had the 'Gourmet Superfoods' Buffet Breakfast, which sounded like something exotic, so we thought the staff would let us know which section of the buffet we needed to stick to.
It was quite busy and crowded, and it didn't seem like there were enough staff working as they were running around like headless chooks; and things were taking a long time to get sorted.
In the end, we had to chase someone down, and they seemed confused, and said they would 'go check with the manager'. They ended up coming back and mumbled something unintelligible. In the end we just went and grabbed a plate and served ourselves from the buffet area. I think maybe that 'Gourmet Superfoods' is just some sort of title.
My hot chocolate was watery and the froth was bad. It was almost like it was made on an automatic machine. Hubby's coffee was pretty terrible. We ended up repairing this experience by going across the road to Waffee after.
Breakfast was average. The scrambled eggs were sloppy and runny. There was a vast selection of food to choose from, but I'm really not sure what is 'superfoods' about it.
At $40 per head, I expected better. I would return to Collins Kitchen at the Grand Hyatt for their spectacular breakfast any day over Allegro.

My absolute favorite place to eat in Melbourne. This is 5 star the whole way. The food is amazing and so fresh. The service is fantastic and the staff are very friendly. The menu is well priced. It is not cheap but well worth the money you pay. The average main meal is about $40 and entree is about $20-$30..

Approximate cost: $50

One of my favorite restaurants in Melbourne city! The food is great, tasty and fresh! Love the atmosphere and the service is outstanding.

Approximate cost: $24
