All Are Welcome

The 38 Essential Melbourne Restaurants

"After working as a pastry chef in Napa Valley’s three-Michelin-starred Restaurant at Meadowood, Boris Portnoy moved to Australia for a change of pace. His community-focused bakery, All Are Welcome, is located in a converted Christian Science Reading Room in the hip neighborhood of Northcote. Viennoiseries go way beyond the classic croissant; expect to find bostock piled with fruit, gooey chocolate babka, and a fancy spin on khachapuri. During the colder months, don’t pass up a slice of the medovnik, an impressive 10-layer Slavic honey-and-buttercream cake. Portnoy also cooks next door at Gray and Gray, an exciting Georgian wine bar he co-owns with winemaker Mitch Sokolin." - Audrey Bourget, Sharlee Gibb
