We all grew up in spaces that equated food with love, just like this place. Everything we have done here is deliberate, from the art on the walls to the produce we use. We've made a point of sourcing ingredients from some of the best suppliers in the state, making sure that our menu reflects what's in season. For us, this place is about experience: we try our best to make you feel both at home and 'out for something special'. Every plate that comes back wiped clean by someone who just couldn't get enough is a 'the hard work is worth it' moment for us. Matty & Tee From Love Letter, with love x

Eternally grateful that this is in our neighbourhood. Excellent pizzas, interesting wines by the glass, friendly and professional service, and remarkably keen prices (esp for Malvern). The tiramisu is delicious and a huge serve, so we share. We tend to book later in the evening as it can get noisy if big groups are in. Recommend booking as is super popular.
