Dee's Kitchen is a cool cafe/deli in the seaside down of Dromana, on the Mornington Peninsula.
I have been there a couple of times and each time the food was fresh, interesting and delicious. The cuisine has a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern focus. Their menu is seasonal and nearly everything is made on the premises, bread being the exception.
On my first visit to Dee's I had the delicious shakshouka. My perfectly poached eggs were nestled in a pool of spicy salsa with spinach and chèvre. A very satisfying dish. Loved the smokiness of the chorizo and the house baked pita was perfect.

They do good coffee.
My second visit was with my brother and sister in law and we were all impressed with our selections.
 |
| Broccoli fritters, beetroot & sesame dip, shaved pecorino, pickled pear & roquette salad with a poached egg / $19.50 |
I had the Broccoli fritters which came with a beetroot dip, roquette salad and poached eggs. This was really tasty. The fritters were full of flavour and appeared to be baked which I liked. The beetroot was delicious and the salad fresh. A beautiful dish that felt light and healthy.
My sister in law enjoyed the smashed rosemary potato and pumpkin with poached eggs, crispy pancetta and pepperonato. I must say I had a little bit of food envy as I had been considering ordering this dish. Hard to go past smashed potato and pumpkin for a comfort food fix!

My brother had the daily special which was Lamb, walnut & pomegranate meatballs with grain salad and in house made pita. This was really good. Great flavours that went well together. A healthy and satisfying meal.

And even though we were having 'brunch' food there was wine involved. Because holidays.
Dee's Kitchen is definitely worth a visit if you are in Dromana. They also have a range of products that you can take home, from prepared meals to cakes and deli items. I must say it is hard to leave empty handed!
