Wow, what a meal. Best lamb I have tasted in a very long time. Had the quarter platter and some pork belly bites. Superb is an understatement. Great quirky atmosphere and awesome staff. If noone were watching I would have licked my plate...��
Fantastic, sharing plate for two was unbelievable, a taste sensation, would highly recommend it, one minor whinge, cider on tap a little dissapointing!!!
The Quarter on Degraves Street deserves a quarter billion dollars! Other than its fantastic location, the food is amazing! The staff are extremely friendly and cleanliness is superb!
We first came here for brunch and got the big breakfast and baked eggs with coffee. The eggs are perfectly poached, and the red sauce in the baked eggs is expressive in flavor and perfectly balances the dish. We fell in love with this place as the location is vibing! Sitting in the middle of the cool breezy back alleys of Melbourne having brunch, drinking coffee, having meaningful conversations and enjoying the busyness and crowds. We wanted more! It felt like were in a movie!
We decided to come back for lunch and it was even better! We got the pasta which was cooked perfectly, the lamb and potato puree which was succulent! The burger also had a perfectly cooked and juicy patty complimented with great flavors.
Wow we have had an unforgettable food experience and we want more! It's not everyday that you feel like you are in a movie. Highly recommend this place.
We popped into the quarter for a family dinner and it was really good. Our table ordered pizzas, salads, pasta and steak and everything was delicious. Pizzas were light and crispy, the pasta was a generous portion packed with flavour, salads were fresh and tasty and the steak was cooked well. Great lane way restaurant with a buzzing atmosphere.
We came across this place whilst looking for breakfast. It was very busy but they clear the tables quickly so we were seated within minutes. Breakfast was reasonably priced and good. It took a while to come but that was fine as we soaked up the atmosphere of the lanes. We went back the next day to try something else from the menu.
Loved this place. Decently priced alcohol, street cafe feel. Great pizza, great flavor. They even have tap beer. And oh the pizza is gluten free which not too many places on Degraves seem to have.👏👏👏
I stumbled across this laneway gem through EatClub's $5 feast week. Despite the deal technically being for takeaway, the lovely waitress gave me a table. I ordered the Reuben Sandwich, which was served quickly yet made carefully. The rye was toasted to perfection, and the pickles, sauerkraut and Russian Dressing perfectly complimented the delicate layers of corned beef. The steak chips were, thick, crispy and nicely battered – perhaps needing a tad more salt, however.
The café's decor and open window design were unique and inviting. I will definitely be back!
A friend and I had a pre dinner drink, we were lucky enough to visit when it was Happy Hour - Happy Days!
The restaurant is nice and quaint, the staff went above and beyond to wait on us. My friend and I enjoyed our wine and I would happily come back for a visit.
My boyfriend and I had brunch on Friday at The Quarter while visiting Melbourne. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food and coffee was great! We ordered two lattes, the granola and the smashed avocado on toast with halumi fries and a side of chips. There was a little bit of a wait on food but the cafe was busy, so expected. The food was great and couldn’t be faulted!
One of my favorite places to visit when in Melbourne. Coffee was ok, but the breakfast! My god.. The best pork crackle I’ve ever had. Get the Quarter Bennie if you love your eggs benny and are a fan of pork. This cafe is truly Melbourne
This is a nice cozy cafe in Degraves Street in Melbourne. It is quite a small cafe and a little bit cramped and easy to bump into other people or be in the way. We came for morning tea and enjoyed our drinks and muffin. The customer service was fine and water was provided to us at the table. I had a chai latte, extra hot and I was pleased that it was sufficiently extra hot, as many places don't seem to be able to achieve that. There was only one kind of muffin to choose from and it was carrot and walnut muffin. Butter was given to us for spreading on the muffin too.
Vibe, atmosphere +++
Big Brekky is excellent
Fantastic find in a crowded field
Very chilled out place to come for a bit of breakfast before work and right in the heart of Degraves St
Breakfast at The Quarter was sensational.
The tea and coffee were both very good and the food was delicious, well-presented, freshly cooked and exactly as ordered.
It was refreshing to see a breakfast menu with some not-so-usual choices on it, such as the Waffle Croque Madame.
The staff were very friendly and efficient.
The quirky decor was interesting and stimulated some good conversation over breakfast.
I just finished my meal at The Quarter. Folks, let me tell you this - what an amazing meal experience. The ambiance of Degraves St, wait staff who don't rush you, food which looks absolutely divine.
I had the veggie burger, and was surprised with the zucchini chips. The burger itself was very nice, but lacked the promised spice. I put that down to me training myself to eat spicier foods though.
We weren't rushed out to leave, although the venue was closing, but as we were walking out the door, my mother's mask broke. I asked one of the amazing waiters if they could direct me to a store where I could get a mask and they offered one of their own. Service beyond and above expectations.
Really grateful to have had such a lovely experience, especially as tonight we celebrated my mother's 72nd birthday.
I can only show you my meal, but I can assure you - it was all divine - everyone's plates around me looked just delicious. Can definitely recommend this venue if you're looking for a special night out.
Arrived close to closing after an event, we were happily seated. Superb food, beef risotto was magnificent and the barramundi was cooked to perfection. Can’t wait to return. Staff were lovely and more than willing to help.
Absolutely amazing food and good coffee, the pork burger was perfect, juicy and had nice crunchy coleslaw. The eggs Benny was so flavourful and the eggs were poached perfectly. I would recommend
Holidaying from Darwin and came across this busy little place! Couldn't believe we scored a table to be honest as it was out of control busy, people lined up out the door. The busyness did not stop the great service, friendly staff, delicious breakfast and great coffee, so if you are in Melbourne definitely give this one a go!
Photo courtesy of my mum! Some really great basics here and some with a little bit of flair. I had the fritters, and wow were they good. Service was super friendly, and the cafe is perfectly positioned for people watching, either inside or outside :)
yummy!!! such a cute cafe space. food and coffee were so good! presentation of the food was great. definitely recommend the chilli eggs
