Brunch with a twist on Johnston St.
Panko-crumbed Benedict on roti, house-made layered cakes and smooth coffee, in a long, bright room in Fitzroy.
A long, bright room with old Fitzroy on the wall.
Timber tables, yellow chairs and copper lamps sit under a big sepia mural of an old Fitzroy streetscape. The cake cabinets are front and centre, the open kitchen is in full view, and there is room for a slow catch-up, a solo breakfast or the whole group.
The house signature
The Sir Charles Benedict.
Panko-crumbed eggs, sriracha hollandaise and chilli on crispy roti, with your pick of grilled bacon, smoked salmon rillette and spinach, or mixed mushroom and spinach.
$31.20 Vegetarian option
“The Sir Charles Eggs Benedict in the panko breadcrumb is honestly up there with the best breakfast I have ever eaten.”

“Absolutely one of my favourite brunch spots in Fitzroy! They roast their own coffee on site, and the flavour is rich and smooth.”
“The roti was perfectly crispy, and the salmon rillette was just next level!”
“Lovely atmosphere, bright, comfortable, and a great place to sit and relax.”
