I'm so glad that I visited Ciel Cafe earlier this year when we were still allowed to eat in. This massive cafe is gorgeous with it's industrial fitout and ample natural light. The waitress was extremely friendly and more than happy that we were using Zomato Gold to try a few dishes.
We started with a breakfast quesadille that was packed full of eggs, avo, cheese and spices. The fresh salsa on the side was lovely and refreshing, and it was a delicious dish.
Finishing up with an amazing banana pancakes stack, we really struggled to finish everything. The two pancakes were huge... thick and fluffy and so full of flavour. Bruleed banana, ice cream, nut praline and raspberries all made for perfect accompaniments; but it was the addition of a jug of creamy caramel sauce that brought this dish together. Such a generous portion and absolutely divine.
With equally great coffee, Ciel has the kind of atmosphere and vibe that makes us super keen to go back as soon as ISO restrictions are relaxed. It's a little out of the way compared to other South Melbourne cafes, but it really is worth a visit.
Love the new menu! Old was good but also due for a change
We had a fantastic experience at this cafe. The service was great and the food was delicious too. Loved the wedges with were crispy and fluffy. The chicken burger and quesadilla were both flavourful and a good portion size. Their iced coffee was really nice and it’s served in a bottle, plus it’s home brewed too. Although it’s a little far away from anything, it’s definitely worth a visit!
Found this place on zomato gold and booked via zomato too. Nice and spacious café near South Melbourne market, with delicious & healthy meal options. The staffs were friendly, and the overall atmosphere was very accommodating. We had the smashed pumpkin sourdough and a smoothie bowl, both were really tasty. Apparently the pre-mixed iced latte is available in a bottle, but I was after the sugarless version so they made it fresh for me. Didn't have to wait for long to have our meals served. Very pleasant experience & will definitely go back again!

Everything was really tasty! The dessert was really generous, so you can share it for sure!
🍔 Pork belly burger with sweet potato chips. Pork belly was crispy and tender however the bun was dry and dense. I normally enjoy sweet potato chips but not sure why I didn’t enjoy that much here 🤷🏻♀️
🥪 Honey maple bacon on sourdough. I loveeee the honey maple bacon🥓 . It was sweet, savoury and juicy at the same time. Unfortunately, similar problem with the burger, the bread was tough not sure if the bread quality wasn’t good or over toasted.
On the other side, coffee and hot chocolate were yumm!
Will I be back? Uhmmm... yeahh
I’m a local so have tried multiple cafes in the area. The coffee here is divine - and the food is always so tasty! 👍🏼

Probably a 3.5 but Zomato doesn't do half ratings so going for a 4 (heaps better than a 3!). Went for an early lunch on Saturday and the Cafe was almost empty but boy oh boy the place is HUGE. It's right next to the Church so don't miss the sign, I reckon must be crowded on Sundays.
Service was very friendly & attentive. The coffees & food came out quite quickly which was welcome as we were starving!!
Matcha latte - 5/5 - One of the better matchas I have had in the last few months.
Soy cappuccino - 4/5
French toast with a side of bacon - 4/5 - Quite good flavours and the right amount of sweet. Good portion!
Chilli scramble - 3.5/5 - The chilli sauce was good, eggs fluffy and bacon well cooked. The croissant looked perfect but the top part was a tad bit hard to eat. Bottom part was easy as it was slight soggy with the eggs. Overall a good dish but would have loved a softer croissant!
Sweet potato wedges - 3/5 - Served with tomato sauce, I reckon they would have tasted much better with sour cream or somesuch.
Overall a good cafe with a friendly vibe. I would definitely go back & try other things on menu!
What a secret gem in Southbank. This brunch place sits in a building shared between a church and kids playcentre. It is very spacious and have plenty of seats around. The coffee french toast are a delightful, light and tasty treat. The croissant scramble eggs are a smart idea as it is not as heavy as eating with toast.
Price - $$$
Lovely experience at Ciel! The staff are extremely friendly and are willing to provide the best experience. We got the breakfast burger and smashed avocado both of which were good. The smashed avocado didn’t have that X factor and tasted a bit bland, but still ok. Coffees were good and larger size compared to other cafes.
WOW! I had such an incredible experience at CIEL Cafe. The staff were so lovely and put so much care and effort into their work. I ordered the smashed avo and two coffees (because I couldn't get enough!), and I would go so far as to say that their smashed avo is the best I've ever had! So full of delicious flavours and so beautiful! It was very refreshing and exactly what I needed. Thank you CIEL :) When I'm back in Melbourne, I'll be sure to visit again!
We love going out for breakfast... with that in mind we can safely say this is the best brunch experience we've had. From the friendly, knowledgeable and highly attentive staff (all of them), to the delicious food, to the quirky yet delicious coffee... it was all amazing. Definitely worth checking out. We ended up buying their coffee beans to extend the experience at home.
One of my favourite cafes. Super great service and amazing food. Staff are incredibly nice. Just a very wholesome place 😇
Absolutely delicious breakfast and coffee! Really calm and relaxing environment in a beautifully designed warehouse conversion style cafe.
Super stylish cafe in South Melbourne.
It is located in good place, I often go there to get a good coffee!
The food was amazing! I had the roti and the balance between the maple bacon and the chilli jam was on point!
