A couple of weeks ago, I went for lunch with some friends to The Glass Den in Coburg. It is set in part of the former Pentridge Jail.
On the day that we visited, the place was bustling. We were seated at one end of a communal table in the middle of the café.
After ordering coffees, it was on to the serious business of lunch. I ordered a meatball sub ($17.50), which is as pretty as a picture despite its unromantic name:
The sub is served on a pumpkin brioche roll, which was rather good. The sauce on the sub had quite a sinus-clearing zing to it, and I loved it.
For dessert, I order The Mafia Boss - millionaire's shortbread with white chocolate and salted caramel:
If you want unique food that is poles apart from the offerings at your local greasy spoon, The Glass Den is the place for you.

I suddenly think that I would love to eat both the sub and the slice!! :D And that really is the prettiest sub I've seen!
I was there this weekend and last but last weekend the queue was too long so we came back this weekend. The food is very pretty and very tasty too. Glad you enjoyed it as it is one of our local spots.
What a stunning sub - a million miles away from the equivalent from Subway :D Your dessert looks delicious too.
