Therefore some may be disspointed when visiting Fifteen that the food is not more complex. Saying that though the Italians have served fantastic food on the principle of good fresh produce presented simply for thousands of years.<br/><br/>I haven't been to Fifteen in Melbourne and probably wont as it seems to be a near identical clone of Fifteen in London, even down to the basement location. Scan through reviews of that over the years and you'll see its an overpriced fad restaurant. There will always be loads of better places for similar money.

And seriously, I question whether it is worth the money. I think they'll be able to rest on their jamie-o laurels for a little while yet. But if they don't life their game and/or reduce prices, it won't be round too long I fear.<br/><br/>Hi Sarah - you are better off getting a lunch booking than a dinner one, so aim for that. Thanks for the Convent Bakery tip - I must go and try it out! Hi there Anna – uh huh, it sure ain’t cheap! And seriously, I question whether it is worth the money.

Hi Sarah – you are better off getting a lunch booking than a dinner one, so aim for that. Thanks for the Convent Bakery tip – I must go and try it out!

I can't wait to visit Fifteen someday (when I finally get a booking!).<br/><br/>I think the bread is done by Convent Bakery in Abbotsford - they also have branches in Kew and on Bridge road. Really yummy stuff; I buy their bread all the time!<br/><br/>xox Sarah Hi there!

Really interesting review! I can’t wait to visit Fifteen someday (when I finally get a booking!).

I think the bread is done by Convent Bakery in Abbotsford – they also have branches in Kew and on Bridge road. Really yummy stuff; I buy their bread all the time!

Points to them for the story behind the restaurant (reminds me of Gloria Jeans coffee, but that was a prison). I cheer for any business/show that are looking to help others - while they try to make a buck or several for themselves. *gulp* I’m thinking it’ll be a little while (and a few promotions or lotto wins) before I dine there… but good to read about in any case.
