Fitzrovia

Bayside brunchers routinely pack the patio at this gorgeous St Kilda spot—and the hype is entirely justified. Fitzrovia delivers serious *brekkie* pedigree. Brilliant, generously portioned plates. Flawless espresso pulls with pristine crema. Those tracking down the ultimate morning fix point straight to the divine chili scrambled eggs or the deeply rich okonomiyaki. Sharing? The polenta chips are an absolute must-order. Coeliacs and plant-based eaters are in incredibly safe hands here—the kitchen’s GF game is top-tier. Expect a bustling, fiercely dog-friendly vibe where your pup scores treats while you devour a towering breakfast brioche. Weekend peak hours get undeniably chaotic, but that vibrant atmosphere and an impossibly good orange chocolate almond muffin make it all worth it.
