Recently launched East Brunswick restaurant and bar
Jimmi Jamz is proving that a combination of inexpensive and quality
food, cheap drinks, a lively atmosphere and efficient service is the key to
success, attracting a diverse mix of diners.
Tapping into the ‘cheap eats’
trend, the new Lygon Street local features a menu of affordable yet delicious
breakfasts along with gourmet pizzas and pastas for lunch and dinner. With
Brunswick quickly growing now and many new stores and resturants opening there
is a lot of competition. A lot of the times my family will head to Sydney Rd
and basically just eenie meanie miney moe it as to where we will eat. But now
we have found that Sydney Rd is just to overrated and not as family friendly as
we first found it to be. With expansions happening they are trying to cram more
people in the one place meaning our pram cannot fit, or the people dining there
aren’t family
friendly. Combine this with well-priced coffee for the early mornings and beer
and palatable clean skin wine by night, Jimmi Jamz is fast becoming
known for taking the fuss (and cost) out of dining.
Restaurant entrepreneur Vincent Sciglitano created
the Jimmi Jamz philosophy following a successful history of owning and
operating restaurants in both Melbourne and Sydney and the inspiration behind
building the brand began in 2007 with the first concept store in Newtown,
Sydney. After testing and perfecting the model, Vincent found what people
really wanted and gave it to them, “Cheap
food, cheap wine...a people’s
place”.
The beautiful and spacious interior caters for
families throughout the day with the delectable breakfast and lunch menu, where
a coffee and meal will cost around $10 - $15. Not only is the space
kid-friendly, it includes an outdoor play area, in-house book readings and a
comfortable setting for parents to come and enjoy with their children. I have
had a sneak peek at the menu and I have already told my partner we are going
there for dinner one night, and that it will have to be sooner rather then
later. But I want to wait for a really cold night so we can hopefully get a
table near the wood fire and keep warm that way. There is food on Jimmi Jamz
menu to suit every single family and taste bud.
One of the bars we frequently visit and have drinks
at has a fire and I think realistically that is the only reason we go there to
snuggle up around the fire. But we may have found a new place to drink.
By night, Jimmi Jamz creates a buzz by
becoming the local hip restaurant and bar with a funky beer garden, live
entertainment and a range of special offers for locals and students. A quality
pizza and drink will cost no more than $20, a far cry from the expensive
eateries popping up in Melbourne.
Jimmi Jamz East
Brunswick allows a varied dining experience from small groups to larger
functions, families as well as crowds of young local hipsters. The restaurant
and bar can accommodate 160 people with bookings available and walk-ins also
welcomed. I have both my girls birthdays coming up in a few months and I really
will look at hosting it at Jimmi Jamz
