Modern Asian$

Unassuming, homey and brilliantly creative, the beloved Korean-with-a-twist cafe has been embraced by its new neighbourhood after decamping from West to South Melbourne. Breakfast might be house-made rye shokupan with char siu bacon, lunch could be an eel katsu sando on the go, or – even better – a rice bowl with hearty sides, eaten at the broad window bench.

Good to know: Look out for occasional dinners, where the team serves hanjeongsik, Korean set menus.

Moon Mart was awarded cafe of the year at the 2025 Good Food Guide awards.
