Mr Robertson Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

Came here twice for brunch. Atmosphere was excellent, we didn’t expect there’s such a place with so great industrial interior. Service was nice too, we didn’t wait for too long before we were attended. For the seating I have a bit to say: for people who is sitting at the table right next to the window, it’s pretty difficult for people who is facing the window in a sunny day. My friend frowned all the way, and had to put on sunglasses later for the whole experience. But I guess there’s no much you can do about it. Coffee was great, and I just love the Chai Latte so much!!! The sweetness is just right, I didn’t have to put honey in it. Portion is generous, I ended up drinking 3 cups from the pot. As of the food: highly recommend steak sandwich. Portion is quite generous, steak is juicy and flavorful, chips came with two sauces. You will be satisfied after eating it. I had the baked egg for the first time. The portion of chorizo is generous, but towards the end the whole thing just starts to feel salty. Perhaps should give two slices of bread instead of one. For the Pulled Pork Egg Benny: it is the first time I eat pull pork egg Benny in a brunch without any sauce on the pulled pork. Normally they come with BBQ sauce or stuff. Therefore the whole Benny is just counting on hollandaise sauce, and to be honest it is not enough to cover the strong “porky” taste if you know what I mean. No wonder not too many people recommend this dish. Although the brioche is quite milky and I feel like I can just have another...

Zucchini and Cauliflower Fritters served w bacon, avocado, relish and a herb salad. This dish was delicious. The fritters were thick, light, and they went really well w the bacon. The salad was good, and overall this dish didn't leave me feeling heavy or tired.

My free range poached eggs were fantastic, they were just cooked, and they were runny and yummy lol

My piccolo latte was perfect. It was strong, the coffee was really nice, and there was some good milk froth.

My partner ordered a Mr Invigorate fresh juice which was carrot, apple, celery and ginger which was absolutely yummy.

And the Rosti dish which was potato rosti w bacon, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce w fresh tomato on the side. I have to say that this dish was also outstanding, and the rosti' were amazing! The potatoes were grated and deep fried, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Wow!!

The hollandaise sauce was excellent, and the eggs perfect. I think this may have been the dish of the day... just lol

But overall I was really impressed with this cafe. It's located in an industrial area so parking is easy, and there is an outdoor area perfect for the warmer weather!

This place is definitely...

Great coffee but the cafe was way too noisy with loud music. Feeling more like a pub than a cafe. Everyone was raising their voice when talking to each other. The wait staff took the wrong order for my table as well as the table next to me. Perhaps reducing the music volume could help to avoid these mistakes. Poached eggs on toast was good but the spinach was half-cooked and soaked in oil. I really struggled to finish them even though since young my mum told me not to waste food. Couldn't tell if the chef was trying to make a sauteed spinach or a raw salad.

When ordering food, the waitor mentioned I could replace the bacon with spinach for the kids meal but when paying the bill, I found that there were extra charges for the spinach. When questioning, the grumpy cashier mentioned it wasn't possible to swap. He eventually changed his mind and took off the extra charges without any apology.

Overall, I like the bitter taste in my coffee today but not the bitter experience...
