This charming daytime diner is by a respected Melbourne cafe mogul. It walks the line between cafe and restaurant with breakfast classics and lunchtime dishes inspired by European bistros.
Named for its dough’s 48-hour rise time (and officially recognised as one of Oceania’s best pizzerias), the menu here runs the gamut of classic and modern pies with notable vegan alternatives. The eponymous gnocchi is made small, “della nonna” style, and completely gluten-free.
Copycat is a moody date-night destination right next to Classic Cinemas. Perch at the bar for elevated snacks and lively cocktails, or settle in the curvaceous dining room for Peruvian-influenced, modern Australian dishes.
