Pretty awesome ambience. Burger can be a little messy to handle but the taste and everything else is fantastic. Do drop by if you're around the corner. It's absolutely worth it!
Having established in the very hip and trendy areas of Fitzroy, New School Canteen offers a diverse menu that caters not only to meat-eating burger lovers, but also their vegan and vegetarian friends alike. While some components, namely the beef patty and the chicken wings, could do with some improvements, we found the burgers here undeniably tasty and satisfying, and sides like the Loaded Fries and Shakes were definitely no sideshow and proved to be equally enjoyable as well.
Went to new school canteen late after an event. Really nice fitout and the menu reads well. The burger was great, meat slighty pink. The cheese melted perfectly. Really rate this burger.
Tucked away in the backstreets of Fitzroy is a cafe/restaurant serving anything you could ever need as a Melbournian. Not only do they offer health conscious brunch meals but also ones if you're looking to indulge. And not only that but they have a big ass burger menu if you're looking to get just that bit phatter. This time I tried the burgers and was pretty impressed!! Not only are they gorgeous to look at but they taste great too! Keen to come back and try their brunch options next time
Great service, excellent burger - the addition of the croquette made my burger ridiculously good - nice place, busy but not congested, a repeat visit is a definite, maybe after noon as the meals were substantial, once more, great service
New School Canteen is a new cafe that has a spacious, minimalist and modern design which was pleasing to the eye. The Scotch eggs were hands down the best eggs I've had. It's such a shame there were only two halves of an egg. The grilled cheesy toast that came along with it was a yummy complimentary to it too. The bacon wasn't crispy at all, instead it was pretty rock hard so it was difficult to chew on it. Staff were prompt and lovely. Their burger and fries menu looked delicious too! Would love to come back and try their other dishes.
New kid on the block by way of Fitzroy cafes tucked away off the main strips but super easy to get to. Serving breakfast, brunch and burgers for lunch and dinner, it's an airy and bright dining room that is comfortable to sit in with plenty of space around the tables. It was reasonably busy when we arrived for Sunday breakfast but we were able to get a table easily and our coffee order was seen to promptly.
Food choices were great! 1st time visiting with teenage boys! The burgers and the peanut butter shake was a hit..... I thoroughly enjoyed the Freeka Time which was delicious and my coffee was spot on! I'll definitely be back for the ham and eggs which looks an interesting surprise on a plate! Thanks for something new and inviting New School Canteen!!!
Great new place bringing some of the best of their LoLo and Wren and Rude Boy Burgers menu and fresh new items to Fitzroy. Fabulous coffee as always. Great open and airy atmosphere. Authentically honest and friendly service, not pretentious. Good compliment to the area.
Speaking of new, New School Canteen had only been open for a few weeks when we visited. This all-day eatery serves up brunch until 4 and burgers all day, every day. As tempting as the burgers sounded, we were there for breakfast. Burgers would have to wait for another day. When I sat down the first thing I noticed was just how large the tables were! The pristine white tables could have comfortably sat 3. Alternatively, the more gluttonous amongst us would have no trouble finding table space for more dishes at the same time.
Great food, great service. Canteen burger for $12, can't beat that! Juicy patty cooked to perfection, soft but sturdy milk bun and that canteen sauce was a treat. Will be back.
Great new place from the guys who brought you Lolo and Wren cafe and Rude boy burger, two of my favorite places to eat and i frequent them regularly.
I went for the first time today and it did not disappoint.
I had the Brunch Boat Noodle, awesome dish. I will add this to my foodie haunts. Recommended!
A gorgeous airy place tucked in the heart of Fitzroy, New School Canteen is the latest culinary offering from Franco Carruso owner of Lolo and Wren and Rude Boy Burgers. New School Canteen combines the best of Franco's two enormously successful places with a menu that includes old favorites along with thoughtful and exciting new options like a Brunch Noodle Boat and Cauli Cheeseburger. If you are a vegetarian or vegan this place more than caters for you as well as your carnivore friends. Oh and the coffee is awesome AND you can get a cup all day and night. Open everyday from 7am until 11, New School has you covered from a weekend hangover brunch to the late night burger munchies.
How exciting to have such a great new place in Fitzroy to have some amazing coffee (Seven Seeds beansl and a fantastic range of vegan and vegetarian fare. I had the freekah salad, and it was delish! Great healthy breakfast in a nice quiet spot in Fitzroy. Great, friendly staff gave us a warm welcome, and everything looked great. Can't wait to come back!
Went for lunch during my break on Thursday and it was fantastic. Went back for an after work burger and drinks on Friday night with friends and everyone left happy.
Hot tip: The Hot Chick
Great food and coffee! Lots of options for food and drinks. Staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a lovely lunch. Left feeling very satisfied!!
Wow. Picture perfect hangover material.
I Heard about a new place in Fitzroy from a chef mate of mine and he said to check it out.
So went there on Saturday and Had a few beers I'd never tried before, and then! this monster (pictured) was put in front of me.
The Staff are really cool and when I asked for the chef special burger (in jest) the waitress said cool I'll talk to the chef.
Awesome burger.
If you like burgers you have to give this place a go.
Really relaxed venue. Can't wait to go back.

Whether you're looking to spoil yourself with an indulgent brunch, or devour a perfect burger, new school is definitely the place to be. Super chill staff, amazing food, wonderful atmosphere. Best of all - milkshakes! Dairy, or soy options. Will definitely be going back!

I don't normally review places, but I had to give a big shout out to this great little cafe. Burgers, brunch, super cool Vibe- What more could you ask for! Seriously this isn't just another place to eat and drink, it's a destination, and I am going it eat everything on their menu; That is a promise.

Fresh new place in Fitzroy which does burgers. So I had to check it out. Me and a friend came here yesterday and we had burgers and poutine. I ordered the Hot Chick with an added Wagyu beef patty and Jalapeños. It was actually pretty big. But I skipped breakfast in the morning so I could justify it. I made a mess but didn't care. It was really good. The beef was nice but the chicken was amazing. It tasted like it had been cooked in fresh oil and was prepared fresh. The coating was nice and crispy and the sauce they use for the burger was great too. My friend had bacon on her burger and offered me some. I had instant regret for not ordering the maple bacon as it would have added a sweet flavour to my burger. We ordered a side of poutine which was covered in bacon bits. It was alright but nothing special and not really worth the price tag of $12.50. Mr scruffs a block over does a mean poutine and trumps this. Overall the food was pretty nice and the setup in the restaurant was cool too. I'll be back again within the week to get my bacon fix.
Had the big cheese burger and added extra bacon. Meat was really nicely cooked, burger had plenty of cheese and the bacon was pretty much perfect in my book. I also tasted the poutine which was really nice. The restaurant itself is very open and bright, staff were super friendly. Definitely recommend this place if youre looking for a burger in the area.
Fantastic burgers, and probably the best chips in Fitzroy. The breakfast menu is interesting. Coffee is average (Seven Seeds such an uninspired choice). A great addition.
Great setup and brand new kitchen, the staff are very friendly worth a try, they have cold drip coffee which is great
Amazing vegetarian options for burgers. So good to find a place that knows how to do a decent veggie burger. Have been here a couple of times and have always been happy. I ordered uber eats last night and there was a small note with our order which was friendly and really thoughtful! Would definitely reccomend it to anyone. The Blue Chip and Cauliflower burgers are amazing :)
Burgers are good. Coffees are good. I like the industrial decor and there are plenty of seating indoors and a few outdoors. Nice to find a cafe that is alao open for dinner in the area. Priced well, not too expensive but right for the quality of food.
I love the simple yet stylish desgine of this new cafe venue.
The menu is no exception. Great range of vegetarian food and the multitude of vegi burgers are just scrumptious!
I'm sure the rest of the menu is just as delecious.
Deffinatlly brunch worthy. Check it out!
Ice coffe was great too..!
Probably the best vegetarian burger I've had, so good it's comparable to the best beef burgers I've had!
Chicken fillets are amazing on an all-round great burger. Milkshakes are top notch. Have sinned here many a time while on diet.
