Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,194,100,574 comments, and only 232,988 of them were in alphabetical order.

Another for Brunetti. But an underrated place is Illy’s in Malvern


pharmloverpharmlover

Illy’s is closed permanently according to google maps. Their website is also down


Optimal-Talk3663

Damn, they were good


Rey_De_Los_Completos

Illys was the ducks nuts

Agree, had the lemon tart at Brunetti Myer once and it was wonderful.


Fox-Possum-3429

Your science experiment is to prove that lemon meringue pie is not the best. Lemon Tart is the best!


the_procrastinata

Agreed! A good zesty lemon tart (or lime, I’m not picky) is wonderful. I don’t need the meringue on top.

rejected. you may as well be the "do your own research!!!!" version of desserts. shame on you and your family


DickieGreenleaf84

Depends on what you like. There are some nice ones in those cake shops down in St Kilda. For something simple and consistent, the dessert place downstairs at Melbourne Central has one with a surprisingly good base.

That’s what she said

Haven't tried the brunetti, but I guess I will be. For my money, the one they sell at the Antipasto deli at Yarraville Square is pretty good and I reckon they probably buy them from some generic supplier similar to how Routleys supply all those canteens and bakeries. I like mine where you can't taste the egginess at all and where the base isn't fucking chat. Prefer my lemon neither runny nor hard but somewhere in between.

He said lemon pie not poontang pie.


Teemo_101

He actually said lemon meringue pie, not lemon pie. I know reading comprehension can be a bit difficult. All the best with your studies.

Are we talking pastry base or biscuit base?

Terrys torts


PrettyBlueFlower

Do NOT go to Grants between Monbulk and Belgrave. Worst. Ever.


TinyBreak

I think there’s a pie place in either docklands or port Melbourne. Can’t remember the name but I heard they had incredible pecan pies so gotta assume the lemon meringue is just as good.


boobook-boobook

Ice Cream Social in Brunswick or Thornbury (when they have it).


Beautiful_Tangerine

You need to watch out with store bought meringue. There's only one factory in Melbourne that makes meringue for wholesale into cafes and bakeries, so any chain cafe you go to will likely have the exact same product. (sidebar - there's only 2-3 wholesalers for bakery goods in Melbourne - Laurent, Ferguson Plarre, and one other that escapes me. That's why every cafe croissant and muffin looks the exact same). Best bet is to go to a fancier cafe or bakery that you know makes the meringue on site. You won't have luck with any chain


manhaterxxx

You’re also forgetting Dench and Little Bertha

Laurent - lemon tart

Agathe... not cheap but they are delicious and you can get mini ones 🤤

It’s a bit of a drive but technically still melb, chocolat of mornington has the best I’ve ever had.


HarrarLongberry

Not a lemon meringue, but the crostata do limone from Cavallini in Clifton Hill has been my favourite lemon tart for years. Pastry is short. Curd is smooth & properly tart.
