We shared a lime cake, a chocolate mousse cake and a pot of chai - it was so delicious. It's a bit of a fancy-pancy place for me, but we only go about once a year, so it's a real treat. The cakes are always so yum and I love the green patterned wall paper.  We walked over to the art gallery and I was shocked to find out that the  exhibition wasn't actually at this gallery, in fact it was at the Melbourne Museum. Whoops - only I would make that mistake, I'm hopeless with directions and I just assumed it was at the NGV! We didn...
