Eden's Backyard

Eden's Backyard is re-defining Melbourne’s brunch experience for diners with a wide choice of innovative, delicious Asian inspired brunch dishes, generously proportioned, and served with expertly prepared coffees, matcha and refreshing brunch drinks.

Only weeks old, Eden's Backyard is already turning heads with its Malaysian inspired brunch cuisine. We started our brunch with a couple of refreshing smoothies. Of particular note was Sin of Adam made from carrot, beetroot, apple, lemon, ginger - delicious!

Described deceptively simply on the menu, the duck Quesadilla arrived looking vibrant. Generous morsels of roast duck fillet, caramelized onion, roasted pepper and mozzarella were sandwiched between tortilla slices. A very flavoursome dish.

For the sweet tooth there are plenty of mouth-watering options. Their weekend speciality dish of Abang Apam Balik was sensational. Featuring a crispy thin Malaysian style crepe served with green tea ice cream, mixed berries, oreo peanut crumb and fairy floss, this was a wonderful take on the traditional. A decadent and absolutely stunning dish.

Another must have is Kev’s Secret French Toast. Tasting even more beautiful than it appearance, the dish boasted beautifully balanced flavours and was the perfect level of sweetness despite the brioche French toast being slathered with nutella, vanilla poached pear, blueberries, strawberries and caramel sauce.

Whilst brunch venues in Melbourne are all the rage, most are serving the same tried and true dishes. For those seeking more interesting brunch options, Eden's Backyard provides a compelling alternative.
