Magic on Ferrars was a cafe serving Modern Australian brunch food in South Melbourne. Coffee was great and I loved how it came with a "fortune". Food-wise, we ordered the apple crumble and corn zucchini fritters. I really enjoyed the apple crumble; it was warm, hearty, and not too sweet despite the custard. The fritters were very nice too; flavourful, good texture combination and generous in portion. Staff were friendly and service was prompt.
Magic is the perfect spot to grab that snack between dance classes on Saturday. Their smoothies, coffees and porridge is perfect. The porridge is truly exceptional and I'd highly recommend it as the creamy texture and variety of toppings truly makes it unique. Their coffees are big and bold too. Awesome spot. 💕
Magic is my spot. They have the best coffee in the area. My favourite thing to order is the BLAT. It's so delicious, the portion is large and it's really well priced.
Been to this cute little cafe twice now and never disappoints. Really friendly staff who give great service and the food has been fantastic. Can’t recommend the avocado smash or the fritters high enough!! Coffee also goes down a treat - will definitely be making this a regular brunch spot.
Went there for brunch on Monday, obviously not many people there as it was Monday. Small place But lots of Outdoor space if the weather is good. Very friendly staff. I had the brekky bowl which was amazing, very fresh and flavourful bowl. Very filling. The salmon and avocado and the seeds , everything just went really well together, I really enjoyed it after a workout as well. My friend had the brekky tower which was delicious as well, smaller portion but enough for breakfast and beautiful ly presented.
Brunch was awesome here this morning. Coffee superb and a quotation for the day as an extra kick .
Went low carb this morning with a healthy bowl which was insane. Kale with roasted tomato, mushrooms, goats cheese , avocado , poached egg and bacon. Finished it all and could eat it all over again. Definitely be back for some more Magic
Was surprised to see a cafe open on Good Friday! So we hopped over for coffee and some food. Coffee was really good, and each comes with a little quote to put a smile on your face.
Service attentive and quick, we were regularly checked on throughout our meal. We were seated after a large group so had to wait a little before our food arrived.
There was heaps on the menu to choose from. Amongst us we had the fritters, benedict, grilled chicken burger and salmon rosti. All were really good, with my favourite being the rosti.
Will head back for more :)
Ok coffee with a lovely touch (inspiring quotes that continue to make my day).
Good seating outside on a lovely residential street.
Customer service is straightforward and neutral.
A regular take away/quick coffee stop.
Melbourne City offers heaps of brunch options in many different hip areas but that day I decided to give Magic a shot knowing people have been saying some positive things about it. The place is rather small but luckily we got a table. Staff were extremely friendly, attentive, they even gave us some cookie sampler! Off to a good start.
Whenever I spot corn fritters on any menu, I'll always go for that. So of course I had to order the Magic Fritters which loaded with stacked corn and zucchini fritters, magic relish, poached egg, served with bacon. My goodness it was an awesome dish! The corn and tomato bits on the side were so fresh and lemony. So good. Crushed it. It instantly put a smile on my face. Another order was the Smasher, with extra smoked salmon. A fresh, delicious and healthy dish.
Price wise, it's pretty high but those stackers made it worth it and the service was really good sooo that's a definite yes from me.
this restaurant is small but good quality food. I ordered green linguine, my friend had superfood salad. The flavour is top notch and the presentation is good as well. Definitely will be back next time. Good place for my mid week lunch options
Quaint, friendly, local, delicious, colourful and efficient! This place is lovely and although a stones throw from the hassle and bustle of South Melbourne market it is like a different world. Thanks for the hospitality and that excellent mango smoothie 😁
Food was good, especially the Mexican eggs. Prawns in pasta were overcooked though. Service was friendly, but struggling to keep up with the number of guests, and at one point she even had to help wash some dishes. No high chairs for children. Overall a good experience though.
Magic is my go to. The coffee is consistently delicious. I regularly get the BLAT which is priced well and super yummy. The breaky tower is slowly becoming a new favourite! The atmosphere is really welcoming too.
Nice corner café. Staff are very nice and food and coffee are delicious. Didn't have to wait for a table. I had the magic fritters and my sister and partner had the Power Brekky Bowl. If you come to south Melbourne market, try finding parking around this cafe, have brunch here then go nice and calm to the market. Indoor is quite small but if the day is nice, you can get table outside that fit several.
Great spot on a the corner of Ferrars street. Service was a bit slow but the staff was excellent and so were the food and coffee. We ordered a few different dishes and they all hit the mark! Portions could be a little larger but the flavours were spot on.
Coffee was good and have their own little spin of the usual food, which was a bit of "fresh air" when you compare to so many other cafe within the area.
Cosy, with extremely friendly staff you feel like you're eating amongst friends.
The burger was literally top 5 I've ever had.
My gf rated the coffee as great/amazing/tasty/incredible, or basically no word described how good it was.
Her food was just as good.
