A great place for a great meal. We've only recently discovered this gem. The staff are easygoing and efficient - going out of their way to sort seating etc. Food is excellent, and very fairly priced. This is our "go-to"whenever in the city for lunch.
Degrave st也算CBD的意大利网红街了吧，周末男票带我来吃牛排～点了rib eye和chicken parma。牛排要的全熟的，怕生😂略微一些干，虽然不是很大但味道还是棒棒的，配上大个的薯条，幸福感。芝士鸡排不是硬硬的炸过的感觉，是嫩嫩的口感，中间还夹了ham。喜欢这家店～

This is an older style cafe that occupies a prime corner position on bustling Degraves St. It has friendly spruikers outside which I found kind of cute and not at all annoying.
I found myself immediately liking the place. It’s small but you don’t feel cramped in the slightest. It’s a little noisy but nice noisy not annoying noisy. It’s old style for sure. Maybe 80s or early 90s but again it all sort of fits together nicely somehow. To complete the picture, they were playing endearingly daggy music on the stereo today. Retro plus. No hip hop on here. I think I heard showtunes at one point.
I started with a long black which was quite good, certainly better than I’d anticipated. It was slightly bitter, but certainly rich, dark and substantive. I liked it. I hadn’t planned on eating but I liked the sound of the soup of the day, a minestrone, and quickly changed my mind. Again, against all expectations I found this was an absolutely delicious minestrone. It was a generous serve and very very tasty. It had heaps of flavour and plenty of veggies. The melted parmesan also added to my overall delight. The dish also came with a very generous serve of Turkish bread too. It was a terrific little meal. I think I’d rank it as the best minestrone I’ve since I used to get them from Maria’s in North Melbourne many years ago.
This was a lovely fun little stop. I had my doubts about the current 3.9 Zomato rating but the doubts were quickly dispelled. Recommended.
🍌French Toast🍌

Two thick and fluffy slices of bread dipped in cinnamon egg wash, bacon and grilled banana, topped with maple syrup.
While down for the Grand Prix we had walked past this cafe thats on the corner of Degraves and Flinders lane every day. So on the monday morning after the race we all had brunch after checking out. I went for their French toast whoch sounded pretty nice which it surely was. Degraves has many hidden gems.
Also had 2 different pancakes which were very delicious
This busy place tucked at the corner of Degraves is definitely worth a visit!
To begin with, the coffee was quality stuff!
The nachos I had was tasty as. The pasta and sandwich with chips were also a hit with my mates, though the chips could have been better seasoned! The pasta was creamy and delicious and my mate’s mouth was watering as it came out.
Degraves is packed with good joints and I think this place has done justice to the quality of food served!
Love coming here for breakfast and coffee every time I work in the city. In a cute Melbourne laneway with lots of people watching opportunities, great customer service and good breakie food.... even a few unique menu items thrown in. And most importantly, the coffee is delicious....
A friend and I got the RMB big breakie, and added in some extras. It was plenty to share between two people and was seasoned superbly ! I would suggest maybe sitting indoors as it was a bit loud outside when we were chatting and catching up. The staff were also incredible and friendly!
Apart from the crap music played way too loud for a hungover patron like The Dear Luncher, this place goes good. The omelette was gigantic. This particular omelette carried ham, cheese, tomato and onion. The Dear Luncher could barely finish it. It quite possibly could have been a four-egg omelette. The coffee was high grade. When you rock up to Degraves it’s almost too much hustle and bustle, almost too much choice. So if you are struggling to make a decision at least you know that The Dear Luncher is of the belief that this place meets acceptable standards.
Tried this place out on a whim, as my usual go to places for coffee were closed at that time of night. For $3 it was a done deal. For the price, I think it’s definitely worth it. Cheap coffee, that doesn’t taste cheap. Love it
We had brunch from the breakfast menu and were more than satisfied. The service was fantastic. The food delicious and the price was just right.
Was pleasantly surprised! Went for brekkie and went to the cafe next door and that was terrible. Tables were dirty, everything was extremely expensive, had no vibe so decided to leave and went to this place! The food was delicious and the service was great also. Only criticism was the atmosphere was at amazing but I can be very fussy! Overall - a wonderful experience
Went here for a Sunday brunch and was lucky enough to score seats for 3 seeing that it was so packed! Coffees were great. I got the baked eggs and they were slightly too watery. The flavours were alright though.
RMB cafe. Very good and easy catching name. Like the chicken Caesar salad. Also nice coffee on the famous lane. It is nice to seeing friends and have coffee.
Chai latte is sooo smooth! 🤗
I've tried plenty around Melbourne, but this hits top 5
Owner is also welcoming and funny! Oh .. And they take card 👍🏼
Welcome to DeGraves Street :)
Having savored the food of Hardware Lane, Lonsdale Street, La Trobe Street, Swanston Street and Elizabeth Street I now decided to turn my foodie eye to a new little hidden gem in Melbourne for foodies - DeGraves Street.
At a glance it has a good variety of food, burgers, sandwiches, pizza and pasta, cafes and something for the sweet tooth as well in the form of cupcakes, chocolates and Belgian Waffles.
RMB Cafe is on the corner of DeGraves Street and is a cozy little place to have a morning coffee or a bite to eat. I was pretty darn hungry so I chose the Monster Sandwich and as you can see from the pics it was a monster indeed. Tasty and very filling with all the trimmings, bacon, eggs, cheese, hash brown, Spanish onions. Washed it down with a nice hot chocolate. Definitely worth a look up if you're in the neighborhood as they do great food. :) Also very friendly service, very nice people indeed. :)
Degraves Lane impresses with a wide variety of cafes and is known for its casual vibe and lots of tourists. On a sunny day you will be pressed to find a good seat outdoor but some of the cafes such as RMB offer cozy indoor areas. The coffee at RMB is always smooth and easy to drink. However, if you are a real coffee affecionado like us, then you might want to walk a bit further down Flinders Lane and try Dukes for one of the best coffees in Melbourne. Seb
Great food, I recommend the carbonara, the bacon eggs Benedict and the burger. Really service, got my meal 5 minutes literally after I ordered it.
Wow, so delicious! And great coffee. Best breakfast in Melbourne so far for our holidays. Try the monster sandwich. They do a good pasta dish too and tiramisu.
Pasta was excellent! I never tasted better tiramisu in my life! My husband ordered second coffee bcz first one was so good! Will definitely advice to anyone!
So as you enter the Deagraves street, you are dazzled by all the nice little, well lit, busy cafes. If you do make it past all of them, u reach the last cafe - RMB. Went after the Moomba festival, tired and were looking for some comfort food. And we did find it. Had Chicken focaccia and Pumpkin soup. The focaccia had Ava Ocado dip, which was light addition to the whole thing. The soup was served with Turkish bread, which made the soup complete as a meal. Highly recommended. Good food, nice staff , happy environment!!

We looked through all the menu options at DeGrave and decided on this one. Coffee was great! We ordered the toasted ham cheese and tomato and after much deliberation i ordered the monster breakfast sandwich $12.90 ( choice was between big breakfast $20.90, french toast w bacon and banana $17.90 and monster sandwich). 2 minutes after we.placed the order two tables away saw this amazingly giant plate of food was placed in front of the girl w a giant glistening sausage. Turned out that was the big breakfast and it looked amazing. Asked if it was too late to change order and was told they had started making the sandwich so yes. Anyway food envy over, i was more than happy w my choice (picture attached) which was huge and very filling and most likely couldnt have finished the big breakfast anyway. Also want to be able to eat something delicious for lunch as we're leaving Melbourne tomorrow so time is running out. Service wasnt the best. It took abt 5 minutes of trying to get our waiter's attention for some water at table while he resolutely refused to look at the tables and was instead looking at people to the left and right but not center where the tables were...but yeah food is good! Also if hungry go w big breakfast. Looked sooo good!
An ok ish paella , with a nice seafood selection but it was missing the crispy crunch deliciousness I was hoping for at the bottom of the pan!
Visited for a late dinner on Friday night and was thoroughly impressed. Love the outside seating in Degraves Street.
I ordered the pescatore with pappardelle which I can honestly say was the tastiest, freshest pasta I have had. Scallops were cooked perfectly, calamari was a little tough but still good - really star here was the fresh garlic and tomato sauce. The friends I was with had the chicken Parma and steak, both of which I was told were very enjoyable as well. Great location and very friendly staff, will be returning.

RMB Cafe is located on Degraves street which is basically a five minute walk from Flinders Street Station making it extremely easy to get to using public transport. I've been there twice now and both times I've went have been great experiences. The staff working at RMB are all so lively and friendly which is one of the main reasons why I love coming to eat there, they are helpful and also regularly check up on you to see if you're enjoying the food or if you need anything else. The other main reason I love the place is obviously because of the food. The first time I went I had the Eggs Benedict (with spinach) and my friend had the Middle Eastern Breakfast and both were absolutely delicious! The second time coming back I was going to try something new as their menu has a lot of different yummy choices however I just went the usual. We also had their Ice Chocolates both times, and it's definitely one of my favourite places to go for one as it's not too sweet or bland. My friend and I definitely will be coming back many more times!
Ordered the garlic bread and Chicken Focaccia. The order took quite a while to come but we got there in the end. Great food, massive serving side for me. I loved it! Would visit again.
I love the atmosphere of DeGraves street. Great French Toast with banana and bacon. My wife really enjoyed the Mediterranean breakfast too.
Had a big breaky at the RMB cafe bar. The food is nice and the quality is okay . The place was crowded and hardly to get a seat. The customer service was nice and the food was served in fast paced. The waiter forgot to tell our order but it was fine (they fixed it straight away). Would love to come back with friends in the future.
Placed at the start of Degraves street and having indoor and outdoor tables adjacent to other food outlets, the service is attentive to settle customers and provide a menu. On a rainy winter day the $9 soup was value and was cauliflower and potato, containing herbs and garnished nicely. Served with bread as was my vegetarian focaccia. Vegetables included capsicum, eggplant, pesto and a serving of chips that were lightly herbed and well cooked. Coffee very good and smooth rounded out a pleasant lunch and ambience.
Lunchtime on a Sunday work day meant a lot of cafes I wanted to visit were closed, so I didn’t stray too far. Exiting through the back-way lead me to the end part of Degraves St where I decided to eat at RMB Cafe Bar after perusing their outside menu and seeing the pork and fennel sausage in their RMB Big Brekky. The cafe was very lively with diners leaving and more coming in. I sat myself down, unsure if I was supposed to wait to be seated, but the staff was busy clearing the table anyway.
Stumbled into this quaint little Laneway resto during White Night. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating that particular night. A friend and I had the steak together and it was pretty decent. The whole vibrant atmosphere was plus points as well.

Came here before heading to the comedy. Porterhouse steak was average, expected more flavour. They've done a nice mushroom sauce which went well with the chips. Nice ambience both inside and outside and staff was friendly

Went in for a quick dessert because I was craving something sweet after a meal. The restaurant mainly had outdoor seating and the staff were friendly. I ordered the mixed berry cheesecake,although I enjoyed it I wish the portion was slightly larger for it left me craving more...
Not bad. Ordered a kangaroo steak, med rare. Only bcos Ive never tried kangaroo steak before.Meat certainly was med rare. Nice and pink. But boy was was it TOUGH. Like, I had to quarter the bite size, in order for my jaws to process it properly!Not sure whether its suppsoed to be like this...Jus was nice though!
One of the first cafes I tried in melbournes famous alleyway cafes. Been here quite a lot and the staffs are always friendly. Breakfast was delicious, was a good decent size for us. Beautiful latte art in our flat whites and cappuccinos.
Not a place if you are expecting an inexpensive breakfast but the quantity definitely makes up for it. The location and ambiance adds to the charm of the experience. Would highly recommend sharing a breakfast dish if you are an average sized person with decent appetite which will leave you to try their desserts as well.
When you're overwhelmed by choice for delicious brunch food in iconic Flinders Lane, having the words "Nutella donuts" on a window sign is a sure fire way to get my attention. Well played RMB. Amazingly, the Nutella donut wasn't the best part of my breakfast. Can't fault the coffee (like it's even possible to get bad coffee in the Melbourne CBD), perfect blend, strong but not bitter. The breakfasts were top notch and made me severely regret wearing tight pants. All the important breakfast (or lunch) staples were there. Probably the best French toast I can recall in its crispy bacon, glazed banana and maple syrup glory. Flawless eggs Benedict too, they're no mugs when it comes to poaching eggs. Plenty of artisanal and healthy menu options too. Not that I care about healthy.
Took a visiting friend and it was lovely. The staff was friendly and attentive. The pasta dishes were delicious. The potion sizes were good and the atmosphere was beautiful. Will go back.
This was a quick brunch stop for me and I chose it mainly due to its location down one of the alleyways near Flinders St station in Melbourne CBD and also because of the variety on the menu. While the food and coffee was average, it was what we expected as its not overly expensive. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly staff.
Pretty good food for the price. People queue up every weekend to get a seat which is a good sign. Their eggs benedict is quite good, really nice creamy sauce and very very filling. My companion tried the moroccan eggs and was all praises as well. Good friendly service and nice atmosphere. Worth checking out.
Love the food!!! This is my go-to place whenever I'm just looking for good food and don't want to travel far. Great service, and foods pretty affordable! Been here so many times
I always get great food here. The service is very quick and the coffee is great too! 5 stars consistently every time. The Nachos are amazing and a generous size!
Quality food comes with a price but it is not at all disappointing. Very lovely made egg benedict. Creamy and delicious spaghetti. Ideal place for a lazy meal when you are tired of walking around the city.
Enjoyed tapas. Pity they have ashtrays on tables - of course people smoked while we ate :(
Would really improve our enjoyment of your overly food
Best French toast in the town. We love it
Italian dinner at RMB Cafe – we like the friendly and attentive service even though it was a busy busy night.
my atlantic scrambled. with smoked salmon, feta, spinach and avocado and on toast. it was nice (: i thoroughly enjoyed it and i was filled by the end. so filling!
Superb!. Had dinner here tonight and could not fault it jn anyway! The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Will definitely be back next time I'm out for dinner in the city!
Best one on Degraves. Good mix of special meal on the menu, pasta is very delicious pollo chicken must try!!! Service is quick and restaurant is clean and new. Thumbs up !!!
Who doesn't love a massive feed!:-)
A cafe worth visiting. I met some friends here with my mum and the waitresses were quick to move the tables around to accommodate us- service was good, a bit hard to understand the waitresses and at some points i dont think they correctly interpreted what i was saying. Food- ABSOUTELY DELICIOUS and an amazing iced coffee! The food came out quickly and was thoroughly enjoyed by most at our table....i would definitely come back again with friends! One of my friends got banana bread that wasnt warm and with no butter and the outdoor heaters werent exactly warm- but other than that, food was delivered quickly and everything was excellent, yummo! 7.9/10!
Yummy breakfast! Vanilla pancakes with ice cream & blueberries delicious! Coffee was great too! Will be coming back soon!
6/10. The breakfast food here is good and the service is fast and efficient. My friend and I felt as though we were being rushed in and out though and the outside seating is way to close for comfort. We were practically touching elbows with the people next to us.
Delicious food and friendly service. The chef was having issues with the poached eggs, so we had a bit of a wait, but staff were super friendly and kept us informed as to what was going on. This is one of our favourite places to have brunch in the city!
For dinner I had spaghetti with meatballs the meatballs were light and fluffy and the pasta was just magnificent I rated a 5/5 #mealforameal
Super lovely staff. Kurt helped me with a replacement when I found the coffee didn't have enough kick and made me not feel like a douche about the situation. And my replacement coffee was absolutely perfect. Made my day.
