Keep it light & fluffy with this gorgeous dish @monroe_richmond what a winner!
Foodies you should definitely get your forks around this dish.... Lemon & Poppyseed pancakes 😍❤️
Lovely staff and good menu. Food came fast too.
Recommend the chilli scrambled and corn fritters.
Coffee is good too. Would definitely go again 😊👍
Lovely place to grab brekky. Tried their avo smash which is pretty good I must say. But the highlight for me would be the quality of the poached eggs. They do it so well. It’s very clear that they definitely know how to poach an egg and for me that’s important when picking a regular brekky place!!
Absolutely loved this place. Interior was literally goals. Had their hot cakes as well as their eggs benny on the croissant and loved both equally. Would highly recommend this place. Thanks team
Real rating 4.4 ⭐️
We had visited Monroe in Richmond and what a great experience this was! Here’s what we had!
Croissant benedict with rosti - this was a pretty good dish! Eggs were runny and croissant was pretty soft and crispy! The rosti was also very crispy and tasty!
Crispy banana roti - banana filled roti, pan fried with mascarpone, biscuit crumb and strawberries! Though simple looking, this shouldn’t be judged as it was one of the best roti I have ever had to date! The roti was like a pastry and melted in your mouth! The banana flavor wasn’t overpowering and worked well with all the other elements! This was my fave for the day as it surprised me how good it was!
Strawberry hotcakes - stacked with 3 layers, this was a combo to beckon with! Not only was it super fluffy but it was thick and yummy as! Moreover it was not overly sweet (my preference would have been sweeter) but this really hit the spot for me!
Overall, it was a great and fun time at Monroe and we would love to try the rest of their menu!
Monroe was my first real Melbourne brunch experience. And boy did it set a good standard, especially in the porridge department.
I arrived, it was a cold wet day and all I wanted was a warm cuppa tea and a big bowl of oats. That’s exactly what I got.
The portion size was the best I have ever had. Never had a porridge brunch made me full before however this was literally huge. FULL MARKS. It was also super pretty.
The staff were ace and even though it was a miserable day the cafe still had fabulous atmosphere.
This place will forever be my first Melbourne Brunch 9/10
Monroe is one of my favourite cafes in Richmond. The interior is beautiful and food is incredible. Coffee is strong but really smooth. The corn fritters is the best I’ve had (super crispy), pancakes are fluffy and breaky bowl is amazing! Everything about this place is superb. Only thing difficult is parking as its a busy area but worth the effort :) thanks for having us everything was amazing
One of our favorite local brunch places before hitting the nearby Gleadell market. Their menu is trimmed down but you can't go wrong with ordering anything here. Coffee I think is also one of the best and consistent in the area. Order the croissant Benny when you're here.
Great coffee and an excellent range of food for breakfast, brunch or just your afternoon break. The fit-out is very Marilyn Monroe '60's. Stylish and excellent.
Okay, let me tell you a lil secret. Monroe's Croissant Eggs Benny is the best item on their menu (obviously very biased!). I love croissants and I love eggs benedict AND they have COMBINED the two together!! I would travel across the seas for this dish. Monroe also has great smoothies, who doesn't love a good smoothie right??
An absolutely gorgeous brunch place! Their menu is varied and exciting, with all the meals we saw being incredibly presented. The hotcakes were of particular of note with such a wonderful texture and taste. My only regret is not trying the smoothies as they sounded quite amazing! A highly recommend place! X
Absolutely loved this new cafe that looks so chic and glamorous, just as its name. The prawn fritters are so delicate and delicious. And the eggs are crispy on the outside and soft & gooey inside. I bet this place will attract the crowd & have people lining up on Sunday mornings in no time.
Nice menu, good coffee and friendly service. Presentation of the food is outstanding, but the choices we made lacked a little flavour. I was really looking forward to the poppy seed and lemon hotcakes, but they were a little bland. Likewise the coffee and banana Mascarpone sounded delicious, but tasted less inspiring.
I will come back to try other options though as I like the look of the menu.
A modern cafe on Bridge road that offers delicious food . Great for breakfast, brunch & lunch and definitely a weekend to do . Yummy smoothies , breakfast bowls , eggs , croissants , bacon the lot ! 😋
Great new cafe on bridge. Someone has spent a great effort in styling monroe...great coffee and food...had the prawn fritters they were delicious. If your on bridge rd pop in as its a must visit up and coming cafe on bridge rd....keep up the great work guys 👍
Really pretty and comfortable cafe with good coffee and food. What more can I ask for a cafe? Would definitely recommend! Personally really liked the Banana Roti, different from the usual banana roti but taste amazing!
Ordered the Thai fried rice. It was very nice. The place is nice, not very busy on a Sunday afternoon. Customer service was top! Would recommend
Easy to miss but this small cafe is somewhere not to walk by. Delicious food that can’t be faulted, everything has flavour and you can taste and feel how fresh it is. Coffee is just as great as food whether it’s takeaway or dine-in.
