## Resource

Step into Bar Familiar, the new cozy gem in Melbourne’s historic Abbotsford Convent, where familiar vibes meet European flavors. Owners Alessia Augello and Stephanie Lane, veterans of the now-closed Cam’s Kiosk, are bringing back beloved energy with head chef Alisha Grant at the helm. Expect generous, seasonal plates — from mortadella sandwiches to vongole and mussels — plus bagels, pastries, and coffee. Open Wed-Sun, 8AM–3PM, with full menu and evening service (wines, cocktails, beers) launching late October. Seating for 70 indoors, 40 on the verandah, with reservations for groups of 12 starting soon. It’s not just a spot — it’s a neighborhood homecoming.
