Winter

From the legends behind Bentwood, Stanley Mount Waverley and Clubhouse Malvern, comes Winter – A stunning and cosy café with relaxed vibes and scrumptious food and drink options.

Our top picks include the Beef short rib benny. It’s a decadent plate of tender, melt-in-your-mouth braised BBQ beef short rib, two poached eggs encasing dripping yolk, spiced fried parmesan polenta, chipotle hollandaise and watercress. Just yum!

For fried chicken lovers the fried chicken and waffles is another winner. Think crispy fried chicken sitting atop cheddar corn bread waffles and laced with sriracha honey butter, maple syrup and mustard dill slaw.

Health fiends also have plenty of options here. The super greens salad is a beautiful amalgamation of broccolini, sugar snaps, asparagus, beetroot hummus, tahini, poached egg and zaatar. Scrumptious and nutrient dense at the same time.

To finish we recommend sharing the Nutella crumpets (or having it all by yourself!). We loved the fluffy chocolate crumpets which went wonderfully with whipped blackberry butter, strawberry, fried banana and honey comb.

As expected of any great Melbourne café, the coffee is wonderful and poured by adept baristas. For non-coffee drinkers there is also a solid selection of drink options including smoothies, matcha and turmeric lattes.
