Arcadia Cafe And Bar — Restaurant in Melbourne

Arcadia is definitely one of the best brunch places in Fitzroy, especially with their twists on the classic brunch dishes and their extensive options to accommodate dietary requirements e.g. Gluten Free, Vegetarian, or Vegan 🍃

We got: ☕️ Latte & Matcha Latte The coffee was delicious! I’ve also been obsessed with Matcha again and this didn’t disappoint. We always enjoy hot drinks esp on the rainy day we had 🥶

🍳 Huevos Rancheros We believe this was our first time having a crispy tortilla for brunch! It’s genius to have this as a brunch option as it’s quite hard to find in the morning and the dish itself was sooo freaking delicious 🤤 Andrew ordered this one and I was jealous, it’s not everyday that I get jelly of his food! 😂 All of the flavors and textures in this dish were spot on ‼️ The sweet, savory, tangy, bit of spice were well balanced.

🥗 Some like it Hot & Scrambled This dish was also very yum! I rarely get anything with avo but I can never say no to Sujuk! Then combining that Sujuk flavor with the spice from Harissa sauce was just chef kiss 👌🏻 Scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked, oh and the knife was amazing to cut through sourdough bread (this is rare find! 😂)

As it was raining heavily, we preferred to dine indoor, but we could definitely tell how good it would be to sit either outside or on the courtyard when it’s a sunny day ☀️

Overall, we’d love to come back to try their other dishes as some were quite intriguing like Halloumi Burger, Holy (not) Cow Burger, Papa’s...

Arcadia is a great cafe located along Gertrude Street, Fitzroy. Visiting on a sunny winter morning for brunch we opted to sit outside and take advantage of the sunshine.

We ordered the Arcadian eggs, macadamia dukkah eggs and the French Brioche to share. For drinks we had the green cleanse and mocha peanut butter protein smooothies. Everything we ordered came out beautifully presented.

For me the highlight was the French Brioche, it was amazing. Featuring brioche French toast with crunchy peanut butter, fresh berries, raspberry coulis, passion fruit curd, dulce de leche & rose water pannacotta, it was full of flavour and texture. All the components and flavours of the dish worked together beautifully. It was sweet but surprisingly not too sweet, the fruit and peanut butter balanced the sweetness.

The macadamia dukkah eggs were lovely. Although simple in appearance, everything was done well from the halloumi to the blistered cherry tomatoes and the perfectly poached eggs. I really enjoyed the olive toast.

The Arcadian eggs was another tasty dish. I liked the touch of sriracha in the hollandaise. Whilst the smoothies were filling and refreshing.

Overall I had a great experience at Arcadia. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. I recommend you check them out if in the area. I rate Arcadia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5. Thanks very much...

DO NOT EAT HERE!

I live locally to Arcadia and highly recommend you DO NOT eat here due to extremely poor service and sub standard quality food. There’s plenty of other amazing cafes on the area!

Today I ordered a Ruben (being a huge fan). I asked to change the bread only and was told it will be on pita bread. So wouldn’t you then expect a wrap?

Not only did my order arrive looking like a dogs breakfast and the dill pickles were missing!

At this stage, the meal is cold and my friend has half eaten her meal. So very disappointing! After speaking to the staff, this lack lustre cold Ruben is returned to the kitchen then the same Ruben back to me with pickles!

I spoke to another staff member offering the most pathetic and insincere excuse. Still paid full price plus the public holiday surcharge! Please look at the picture and hope you agree that $15.90 plus surcharge for this Ruben is excessive for the worst meal and experience.

I was told that it was a misunderstanding and really busy, some meals slip through the cracks! To be honest, it’s always busy so what’s the real excuse?

While today is a public holiday, the 10% additional surcharge charged should suffice. It’s really unacceptable and disappointing.

DO...
