Mr Union is an Ascot Vale cafe and restaurant that’s all about simple food done well, with a mixture of Melbourne favourites and dishes influenced by owner-chef Gabor Pelikan’s Hungarian heritage. Housed in what was modern bistro Union Food & Wine, the former bank building feels a bit like a cozy home.
The interiors have been recently renovated to create a warm and welcoming dining area. With bright paintings and light filled spaces, Mr Union is a lovely place to dine. They are open thoughout the day serving up awesome breakfast, dinner and all the meals you need in between. Their brunch options cover all the usual essentials like the eggs benny and scrambled eggs, but all with a special unique twist in flavor. Definitely something that I would come back to try out.
Situated in Ascot Vale on Union Rd, hence the name, Mr Union is a cafe that offers breakfast, lunch and dinner with some menu items containing Hungarian influences due to the chef’s background. I dropped by here as I won the instagram competition for a complimentary meal worth $50, I ended up ordering over the limit as I couldn’t decide just on 2 dishes. We arrived pretty late maybe with a bit over an hour of the kitchen closing, but the staff did not rush us at all and we still received good service.
Excellent coffee, great breakfast without a fancy pants over the top menu. Hungarian dumplings are Devine. My new local regular spot beats other breakfast spots on quality hands down
Delicious food, GF vegan option - staff were accommodating. Tried a tumeric latte for the first time, it was really good. Would go back if there were more GF and vegan options. Nice venue.
Near perfect!! The corner jewel of Ascot vale.
Put this on one your list people.
Very accomodating, excellent service and exceptional food oh and did I mention...very good Coffee.
The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We really enjoyed having brunch here, the coffee was great. Can't wait to come back.
Meal sizes are plentiful and at very reasonable prices. We very happily ate their extremely tasty, well presented scrumptious dishes titled 'Baked Eggs' and 'Our Egg Bene' These meals instantly took us to another world and we felt we were eating in a bustling street in Europe! Later we found out that most dishes have a Hungarian history to them. A must try if you would like to be instantly teleported!
The simplicity & elegance of their breakfast menu makes this place a standout from the crowd in terms of breakfast eateries. My brunch of a corned beef toastie was perfectly balanced, with the right amount of filling on good quality bread. Washed down with a crisp , tangy prosecco made this a simple but perfect meal. Service was warm but not intruding & look forward to trying their other dishes.

"This looks too nice to be a pub," remarked my husband as we stepped inside. It was very nice inside and it looked like they did proper coffees too judging by the set up they had on their on-trend stone bench tops. I was still scanning the place when I heard a voice ask, "Can I start you with some sparkling or tap water?" Service was prompt (although we were one of only 4 tables that day).
I didn't expect the coffees to be good here but they were exceptional. They had the perfect coffee to milk ratio, something which my husband made a point of. He was feeling very learned in this field after he did a barista class not too long ago. 5/5
He ordered a pork belly burger which came on a plate without too much fanfare. It was very juicy and I could see the mayo dripping off with every bite. It was nice and relatively light in comparison to the monster meal I ordered. 4/5
I had a steak sandwich because, well, I was hungry and I thought I could eat a whole cow by this point. But why I ordered the steak sandwich was not so much the sandwich itself but because it came with onion rings. I had a craving for onion rings that day and these were very well done. Perfectly seasoned and piping hot too. I enjoyed the steak sandwich but it was a bit too greasy for me. I mean, it really was more like a steak toastie which meant it was buttered on the outside and buttered on the inside ... all very tasty but also so very greasy. I still rate it highly. 4/5
Overall our experience here was very pleasant. Everything from the food to the coffee to the service was very well done. I would definitely come here again.
Amazing Hungarian dumplings, wonderful Umami burger, friendly staff and gorgeous atmosphere. What else do you need? :) We will definitely go back, it was love at first sight. Good luck guys!
We attended a private function in the upstairs room. The food and service were excellent. Everyone enjoyed the evening immensely with all dishes being rated very highly.
Wonderful food. Staff are lovely. Chef and owner very nice. Highly recommend UF&W.
The place is nice, but when busy the place can be an echo chamber of noise. Always had good food, and decent coffee (it is a bit on the stronger side). They are bit pricey though.
Food was great. I really recommend the pork hock. Our waiter was fantastic. What a lovely relaxing place to have a quiet dinner. I will be back again soon.
