European$$

How does one tiny corner so comprehensively capture how Melbourne likes to eat and drink, from the am to the pm? Euro-leaning breakfasts include the modern classic that is anchovy and egg on toast, plus continental plates to share and cardamom buns from Iris The Bakery.

Best for: Solo or one-on-one breakfasts that are about quality over quantity.
