Jazz loving foodie, Jason McLaren hyphen Jones is the man behind Snow Pony and Porgy & Mr Jones. I'm happy to report he's done it again with Friends of Mine. The man about town has put his signature style all over this  place. Comfortable and of course tres friendly, JM-J has upped the ante somewhat here and delivered a tryptic work of interior art that is part food store, casual cafe and a dining section with a white table cloth in play. I've had a yummy breakfast and lunch and am looking forward to the Friday night light dinner and jazz that has just been popped on the menu. An interesting crowd makes for good people watching too. Look for the sunny yellow awnings when you're at the Burnley end of Swan Street. Friends of Mine should be a friend of yours for sure. 506 Swan Street, Richmond, Melbourne.
