It’s all very Melbourne: a Scandi cafe by a Hong Kong-born ice hockey pro and named after a Slovenian grandmother. Lilijana’s salmon is house-cured and served with ricotta, pickles, eggs and sourdough. Buns are baked out back for $9 snack-size pastrami rolls, and cinnamon and cardamom twists are perfect for fika, the Swedish tradition of slowing down for coffee and cake.
