My first taste of Melbourne: a plate of oysters at the counter at Cumulus. Brinier than any American oyster, crisper too, each one like a little gulp of the ocean. Hello! Cumulus is a lovely introduction to the food of this city. Casual and friendly, it takes its food (and its wine) very seriously. The waitress will hunker down with you over the menu, considering the options. Should you have the fried cauliflower? Yes indeed; sizzling with Middle Eastern spices, it makes you wonder why you've never had this dish before. Cauliflower was born to fry!
