## Smile Solutions: 1932 Cafe and Restaurant

Inside the Manchester Unity Building on Collins Street, 1932 Cafe and Restaurant is run by the Smile Solutions Group, the same team behind one of Australia's most recognised dental practices.

**TripAdvisor Recognition (2022):**
- Number 1 Best Cafe in Melbourne (from 613 cafe listings)
- Top 10 Best Restaurant in Melbourne (from 3,510 restaurant listings)

The name comes directly from the building's history: the Manchester Unity Building opened in 1932, and the cafe carries that year as a reference to the art deco character of the space itself. Walking in, the architecture does a lot of the work — the heritage details are genuine, not decorative additions.

**The Service Philosophy**

The food matters, but the thing that distinguishes 1932 Cafe is the approach to service behind it. When Dr Kia Pajouhesh accepted the Telstra Victorian Business of the Year award on behalf of Smile Solutions, he described service as a universal traveller — something transferrable across industries. That same philosophy was applied deliberately to 1932 Cafe, and the Number 1 cafe ranking across a field of 613 Melbourne venues is a reasonable measure of how well it translated.

This isn't accidental. The staff who work within Smile Solutions' clinical environment bring the same personalised, attentive approach to the cafe floor. World-class care, whether delivered chairside or tableside, starts with the same thing: actually putting the person in front of you first.

Visiting 1932 Cafe means eating in a genuine heritage setting and experiencing a standard of hospitality that has been tested and recognised at a serious level, right in the middle of Melbourne's CBD.

**Location:** Manchester Unity Building, 220 Collins Street, Melbourne CBD.
