Restaurateur Scott Pickett (Matilda, Smith St Bistro et al.) has unveiled his first full-service cafe, Como Lane inside a historical in a historical house and garden in South Yarra.

Through wrought-iron gates and past painstakingly kept gardens, the new Eurocentric eatery awaits in the former gardeners’ sheds, offering indoor-outdoor dining seven days a week.

Whether you’re after a Cobb Lane pastry and Merchant Coffee Roasters brew to enjoy on the grass, or a dine-in experience – from scrambled eggs with Longrain’s XO sauce at breakfast to a decadent croque monsieur at lunch – Como Lane has you sorted.

A cosy must-order: Poached peach pancake with raspberries, toasted almonds and whipped vanilla cream.
