Melbourne Breakfast Venues

On a quiet corner in South Melbourne is Dead Man Espresso a sleek cafe run by industry pros Kylie Mackinilay (ex St Ali, Liar Liar) and her husband Luke Mutton (ex St Ali, Dukes).

This is a well designed light filled cafe with a strong focus on coffee. They use a special Dead Man Espresso blend custom made for them by Seven Seeds. The menu is seasonal and feature herbs and veggies grown in their rooftop garden.

We highly recommend you get down there on a sunny day and grab a spot on their balcony.

Carolina is a cafe located on the border of Brunswick East and Carlton North.

Housed in an old shoemakers shop, Carolina is an unassuming local where you can enjoy sublime Industry Beans coffee, sumptuous seasonal food as well local boutique beers and ciders and a carefully selected range of Australian wines.

We have a beautiful leafy courtyard perfect for lazy afternoon drinks and complete with sandpit for the kids earlier in the day.

To quote one of our bloggers HenryNSW “Wonder where the local French go for a taste of home? Wonder no more”. A La Bouffe is where you will experience true French hospitality. When the French back home get together with friends and family to prepare a meal, when all the chopping, mixing and baking is done, the cook calls out “a la bouffe” let’s eat, and everyone sits down to enjoy their home cooked meal. That is what you will experience at A La Bouffe – an informal, friendly and delicious experience. No pretensions, just good friendly service and delicious food. When French visitors are feeling home sick for some Cream Brulée or Clafoutis (traditional sour cherry pudding) this is where they visit.

Jacky Frenot and Gabrielle Dewan, owners of A La Bouffe Bar & Bistro invite you to come to our little corner of France in the middle of Prahran and South Yarra shopping precinct and indulge your senses with our extensive range of popular traditional French dishes and contemporary style dishes as specials. Try our Seafood Millefeuille, puff pastry with mussels, scallops and prawns in seafood bisque. Or our Pavé a La Bearnaise, grass fed Goulburn Valley beef thick eye fillet, Pommes Sarladaises, green salad and Béarnaise sauce . Just two samples from our menu. There is an extensive wine list featuring French and Australian wines, aperitifs and beers.

We are across the road from the Como Palace Cinema and we are open to late. So after the film, finish off a perfect evening with a glass of wine or champagne, or a coffee and one of A La Bouffe’s signature desserts.

As MoMo & Coco describe A La Bouffe: “beautiful heartfelt food delivered by unpretentious staff in an utterly elegant setting….Overall, A La Bouffe is a fine showcase of rather authentic, accessible French luxury….”

With 30 flavours of beer on tap, the craftiest of them will soon feature as a boutique batch from the custom microbrewery scheduled to arrive on site early in the new year. An exclusive brew will change every month & is personally prepared by local Victorian makers. Explore the fridge menu for more local & international drops to sip by the river, you won’t be asking for ‘the usual’ here.

If cocktails are more your thing, you can’t go past one of our DIY kocktail kits, tap cocktails or spiked slushies… frozé anyone? Or ask our bartender to conjure up something with bite, our signatures will have you doing a little shoulder shimmy, you know the one.
