my go to for cheap but still good cafe meals, especially for breakfast/brunch. not many places still offer all the classics at such a good price. lunch and dinner can be a little hit or miss but nothing to complain about. staff are also always friendly!

Busy cafe on Burgundy Street. Somewhat old fashioned decor here. It’s OK inside though and has a surprisingly spacious outdoor seating area that was lovely to sit in today in the warm autumn sunshine.
The cafe draws extra marks for providing ice with the table water. There’s barely been a cafe lately that’s not provided warm water, a pet irritation of mine.
My long black here was just ok. Middling at best really. My Greek salad though was quite tasty. It looked basic but it tasted good. The good quality feta was particularly appreciated.
Service was lovely throughout here from multiple busy and attentive young servers. Not a bad cafe at all. I’d happily return at any time.
Love this place, the seafood risotto is THE BEST and very generous on the seafood! Also I love the choc mint ripple cake, it’s delicious!
Staff are always friendly
Love the new decor, a huge improvement!
Been back a few times now for lunch.
Great value in terms of the prices and sizes of meals!
Friendly staff.
Only improvement I could offer is the chips here are like McDonalds chips, would prefer something with a bit more substance. :)
Friendly staff greet you when you first walk in to this pleasant cafe.
The coffees were really good and reasonably priced. I tried my first almond latte. It's not for me, so I had a regular straight after, much better for me.
The coffee here is always consistently good.
We have found the staff and owners to be absolutely wonderful to speak to and the food is always excellent as well.
Cafe matto at Heidelberg. A nice small cafe serving good coffee. So smooth and biter taste. Personally I don’t like sour coffee. This cafe is definitely a must go place in Heidelberg area.
This place was a good surprise. Was expecting average cafe food but it turned out really good. We ordered the Mexicana pizza and lamb cutlets with risotto. Absolutely loved the lamb; tender, juicy and cooked to perfection with a really delicious risotto. A decent drinks menu too.
Fantastic place! Came here for dinner with family and all of us enjoyed our meals. I had the lamb cutlets and the lamb was cooked perfectly, the bed of risotto was also delicious. Decent sized meals and the staff were friendly and helpful. Will be back for sure :)
They used to poke fun at their name... it is easy to misread it as MAHO based on the signage.
Matti has been a favourite of mine for years, even hosting a birthday dinner many moons ago. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all good here. It’s a bit dated, but I find the early 2000’s decor a calming reminder that sometimes things don’t need to change to stay awesome.
Pleasantly surprised! Attended a 21st bday dinner with the family. We were able to book for 12 and BYO wine/champagne/cake. The meals came out fast considering we had such a large group. I enjoyed my grilled fish, veggies and chips. My cousin got the main calamari which was quite small for a main.
I be there for few years and still nice food and first terrific staff, also all menu all day, very flexible. I will recommended to every one include kit
Great food, great service and awesome vibe. Staff are friendly and the coffees are the best on the street. Definitely recommend this place..
Had a pleasant meal here with my family for dinner. I had the eye fillet steak which was cooked a little more than the medium-rare that I requested but it was still tasty with a nice charcoal flavour. My family enjoyed their meals also. The restaurant and toilets were very clean which is a big tick in my books!
This cafe is located opposite of Leo‘s supermarket at central area. Coffee was nice and strong, all staff were kind, pleasant customer service and variety of yummy cakes. Delicious Mint cake was not so sweet as looks. Lemon meringue tart was very rich and sweet which was good to share pieces with family for afternoon tea.
Have eaten a lot in Heidelberg and never been here before, was very surprised on how nice the food was and a good menu and the service was even better.
If you are looking for a basic cafe with descent coffee in this area you cant go wrong with matto.
They have all the staples and everything is always of good quality.
New decor and Reno looks great!!
Had the chicken Parma which was as good a Parma as Ive had in ages. Coffee is great too.
Will go back for sure!
Came into Cafe Matto on my lunch break from work at Mitre 10 around the corner and was able to get some fast, efficient and friendly service during my 30 minute gap.
I got a Mediterranean vegetable wrap in which they were easily able to substitute the aioli for hummus to conform to my vegan diet. They did this free of charge and the result was delicious. The wrap was hot, tasty and very large with a side of tasty french fries. It was perhaps mildly soggy with everything that was stuffed in there, but the wrap didn't leak or break apart at all. My father's chicken burger pleased him, and we both enjoyed our Coffees.
Cafe Matto is a friendly local place with strong service and a beautiful aesthetic. It has tasty vegan-friendly options, and everything comes at a very good price. Will definitely be going back there again soon.
Service always great from cafe matto emplotees with meals to match. Keep up the good work guys! (especially their satay chicken!! Always left wanting more)
Incredibly friendly and genuine waiting staff, including the man I presume to be manager. Food is delicious and portions are fantastic- the price for the meal always astonishes me as it is very fair. Refreshing as many other restaurants charge ridiculous prices. I would recommend the classic 250gm steak or chicken parmigiana! Pasta and pizza range is really varied and tasty too. Have been going there regularly for a year now and recommend it to all my friends. Staff are friendly and make an effort to remember you it seems. It is certainly a dated decor but with how busy Matto always is and quickly service and food is always provided, who cares!
Come here every weekend. Staff are amazing as well as the managers. Always smiling and interacting with customers. Food is amazing have not been disappointed yet. Great prices on everything cheap and affordable
We had the carbonara fettuccine and the seafood pizza, I love they used a big prawn on pizza instead of the small one . Lovely fettuccine. Very friendly service, good food . I was going to order the desert but end up too full . Love it :)
Enjoy the food. The cafe can be a little loud when its busy, however this is due to the smaller size, nowhere for the sound to travel. Food arrives promptly no matter how busy it is. Parking can be a nightmare but htat's Heidelberg for you - if you know the area you know where to go. Friendly staff. Decent cafe for a nice meal. The house special pasta is my favourite. The burger is also delicious! My husband loves veggie burgers and he says that this one is one of the best he has had!
There's nothing fancy about this place, just simple, well made food, friendly service and reasonable prices. We'll definitely be back again soon.
Good coffee! Popped in here after a huge let down from accross the road. Grabbed a strong flat white to go. Lovely coffee. Should have had breakfast here,
Pleasant and excellent fare
After reading the Zomato reviews with diametrically opposing opinions of this suburban Italian cafe, my family approach our first dinner here with some trepidation. However, we found the place clean and cosy, the waiting staff friendly and helpful. We had an Entertaiment Book voucher which they happily honored. The Chargrilled 300G Fillet steak was expertly grilled and melt in the mouth, side veggies were fresh and tasty. The Children's menu was at a high standard. Most surprisingly, the white-haired owner? was on his best behavior and politely said thank you and good night as we left. Yes, we will be back! Keep up the standard!
If you are looking for a great value dining experience, come here. The porterhouse and the chicken Santorini, were full of flavour.
BYO as well plus very friendly and efficient staff!
The room decor is adequate and toilets well cleaned.
A pleasant venue for a quick meal.

Always nice food to be had here. Good selection of food for any desire you may have. Good strong and hot coffee served. Great location right near Mercy and Austin Hospitals.
Have been a few times here. The staff are friendly but dont always get the orders right. Food is ok but not something to rave about. A little over priced. Not bad but not fantastic,
Food was nice and reasonably priced. A long wait however for meals and drinks. Service was friendly and its great that they allow split bills.
Have walked past this cafe numerous times and noticed that it's generally quite busy. Consequently, on a sunny Friday, I popped in to grab some brunch. Inside the cafe is spacious, well lit and well designed. The decor and atmosphere are both pleasant. I've had coffee several times here and its is generally pretty. The breakfast menu is served for most of the day (a big tick in my books) and i found that it was priced more reasonably than other cafes along the street. I ordered the prosciutto eggs and really enjoyed it. I think the food could have benefited from being a touch warmer but that didn't alter my experience. Service was attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back. A friendly recommendation for management - add a smashed avocado dish to your breakfast menu.
Positive: Being a olmc student, Cafe Matto is where is the girls get there coffee from in the morning, the service is one of a kind and they always have time for a chat. I've been with friends for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner all which was amazing, the service from the waitresses was always polite and patient when ordering. The vibe within the cafe is friendly and warm which is always filled with customers no matter what time of day you walk past which is a sign of good quality food and service. You'd never wait more than 20 minute for a meal. Would recommend to all of the Heidelberg community as well as extended communities.
Good portion of food for what it's worth. Spaced out tables that create a calm atmosphere with friendly staff.
Lighting and subtle artwork was a good highlight.
Have been here a couple of times and it's turned into a little bit of a date spot for my girlfriend and I. Had the Flathead tails and chips which was perfect except the Fries were a little under seasoned. Raquell had the Atlantic Salmon which she enjoyed although the salmon was a little dry and the vegetables undercooked. Food came out quickly, as did the drinks, which resulted in a high quality dining experience. Will definitely be back soon.
Looove this creamy advocado fettuccine! The ingredients are so fresh especially the chicken breast is really yummlicious. Will come back again.
We both had the Matto mixed platter. Excellent. Four perfectly cooked meats (lamb, chicken, calamari, prawns) came with a generous serve of garden salad. A little pricy at $35 but nonetheless recommended.
Good espresso and tasty banana bread. Staples that any coffee should get right and this place does the job admirably. The setting is a bit sterile for my taste (give me bohemian and Scandinavian styling over 1990s chic any time) but the service was business like – what I'd expect in a busy cafe.
I just want to say every day I walk past café matto it over flowing with customers which is a really amazing thing to happen to a small business.I go there with my dad at least once a week always amazing, peter treats his customers like family and with respect.food is of super high quality and at a reasonable price and service is outstanding.I will recommend this café to anyone who is in the area.remember one thing people when it comes to reading reviews,a majority of people who have had an amazing experience wont write a review but the minority who haven't like a salad dressing or where they have been seat when the place is full or something small like that will.your always going to see more negative responses then positive. so don't be misled!
I have been here probably at least 10 times, the food is great and it at a reasonable price. I have got the wrong thing brought out to me twice though, which is annoying when you're with your boyfriend and he eats twice as fast as you. Im not sure if it was the kitchens fault or the waiter, but it would be great for the waiter to just quickly repeat your order just for clarification.
Great food, coffee and service!. Regularly attend here to get coffee. Love the food and service. Wait staff are always accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend!
Great customer service and food. We received fantastic customer service when we had brunch there last Sat. The gentleman at the counter, and waitress gave us exceptional service from start to end. Even helped to watch over our bicycles parked outside. Recommend the seafood pizza highly. Generous seafood as toppings, will be going back for sure.

Been coming here for years. I live not too far away from Matto and it has been my 'go to' cafe for about 2 years now when I can't be bothered travelling into other suburbs nearer the city. This is both because of the fact that I like the food and coffee, but also because there are not any other places around Heidelberg that offer the same service or price (Most are a little more pricey/pretentious) The staff are usually quite friendly and welcoming, even during busy periods. I enjoy all the food (And I have tried the entire breakfast menu at this stage) I have had there, only nit picking points such as too much dressing on the lamb salad, or at times the lamb can be over cooked but overall the food is served quickly, they consist of very large portions and do leave you feeling satisfied 90% of the time. I can understand why some people are not always happy with the food / service, there are a few areas in which the staff could work on. However overall it is a nice local place to have coffee and brunch
Good food and really good service. We came here for lunch and were very happy with the food - good portions and the coffee is also nice. The service was really good and we used an entertainment voucher and it was honoured (it was lunch during the week).
I'm a regular at Matto and adore the food and service. Never disappointed by their focaccias and the generous serve of fries as well.
Great vibe, love coming here!
Great!. A great consistent italian cafe/restaurant with great service. I love that you can see how clean the kitchen is as well. The staff do an awesome job! The fact that it's busy at any given time of day speaks for itself!
It's good without being fantastic. Went on a quiet morning and had poached eggs and bacon with toast and coffee. Food was fine and about average for the area in terms of price. Coffee was above average. Service was good and friendly. Solid and worth it without being super fantastic.
Great little cafe. Have been to lunch at this cafe many times, always good food and friendly staff and always busy. Love the chicken risotto, the burgers and leek & potatoe soup.
Liked the food !. In looking for something half good for me, I have gone with the lamb salad (over burger variations or other fried foods). Its quite a generous serve and fairly tasty.
Within the Burgundy Street cluster, Mattos appear to have the best kitchen over Scintillas, Café Burgundy (yipes) and Rocket.
Coffee is OK, but for mine, its well behind Scintillas.
Pleasant atmosphere and felt cosy despite the polished concrete floor. Large serves, though my omelette was quite under seasoned. Staff were prompt with service and had that lovely bustling morning cafe feel.
Love love love cafe matto !!! Best everything!
Service is always friendly, great value for money.
DELICIOUS!. I love Cafe Matto, friendly staff, great coffee and delicious food.
I had Santorini Chicken and it's always divine.. I keep coming back to have this main in particular. Great Job at being consistent.
Great value. Eaten here 7-8 times, breakfast, lunch and takeaway dinner. Always good, friendly service, always busy. Best to park at the rear of premises.
In for coffee & cake, decent coffee, amazing lemon tart & lovely service.
Enjoyable. Lunch was very good, both the Atlantic Salmon and the Schnapper were generous serves. Service was very good, would recommend.
Came here with my mum and loved it. Lovely man with the glasses out front welcomed us in with a beaming smile and friendly nature. We ordered the antipasto for starters and I ordered the rib eye steak cooked medium for my main. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy and tender. The mashed potato was smooth, creamy and well seasoned, the veggies were steamed but not overdone and still had a good bite to them, and the mushroom sauce was so tasty. I can honestly say this was one of the best meals I’ve had since coming out of lockdown. Excellent food and service. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends and family.
Very nice service, kind and friendly!
Beautiful rich Matto Special pasta, yummy!!
And nice coffee, good price! Definitely will recommend to others and come back again!
Thank you! Keep your good work!
Calamari Salade (Chefs special)and Mediterranean Foccacia was to die for.
Great service and quantity...
Got a BLT for $13 and was expecting to get ripped off like most cafe’s but this place provided awesome value! (i ate the other half of the BLT) Lots of bacon, came with chips, and the gentlemen serving me was a champ. great guy
Fantastic food and service. Friends from Sydney loved it as well. The owners are fabulous and make everyone feel special. Just a great vibe. ❤
