Beautiful cafe with a lovely courtyard!
Breaky board was fantastic but I would recommend ordering a side with it as it wasn’t too filling. Perfect if you’re looking for a light and cheap meal however.
The coffee was delicious and smooth with amazing latte art that would have anyone taking their camera out!
We called in to Sebastians food and wine for a weekend lunch and sat in their sunny courtyard with plenty of real greenery and plenty of local chatter. Staff were friendly and organised and the menu had a good range of tempting dishes.
We both agreed that the coffee was good which was a promising start and the ruby grapefruit spritz certainly had a refreshing tang to it.
We tried the tasting plate of the all day brunch menu which is well worth considering if you want a selection of their favourite breakfast dishes on the one plate. It also came without bread which was good for those who want a lower carb option. The candies bacon was a treat and the cauliflower fritter was a favourite of mine.
KD chose a chicken schnitzel burger from the lunch side and it was massive and that chicken schnitzel understated on the menu... made with real quality chicken and quite thick. There was a mountain of cheese and bacon to boot so a really enjoyable burger.
Thanks to the team at Sebastian’s for their hospitality and delicious meal.
Just a stone throw from Hampton beach, lives a Bayside resident that’s stood the test of time. Sebastian’s, which is famed for its Straight out of Hampton Burger, is owned by one of the calmest café owners I’ve met in Melbourne. I suppose it’s hard not to be calm when you run a café that has a beachside vibe, with a courtyard that feels much like sitting in a friend’s backyard for afternoon drinks.
I was fortunate enough to meet Jenny, and hear what led her journey to Hampton, after a career as a teacher. Husband Theo loved the fact Hampton is not too far from Moorabbin, where his beloved St Kilda Football Club train, and it’s no surprise the boys come down after training for the infamous Chicken Sandwich many flock to like seagulls to chips.
I took the path less travelled, and ordered the Miso Greens for a healthy start to the day; while my partner was lured by the Blueberry Waffles, which were smothered in passionfruit curd and mango sorbet.
If you’re coming for the afternoon, and like your Italian reds, I suggest you try the Sangiovese. I had a sneaky glass, and am now planning a trip out to the King Valley to visit the winery it dawns from.
Find Sebastian right across from the Hampton train station.
