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. As the day rolls on, Napier keeps switching speeds, adding focaccia, charcuterie and pasta, made with beautiful produce.

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