Just had the most amazing meal I've had in a long time! My parents and I traveled from Bendigo so we were starving, we checked in and walked to your establishment and were amazed at the flavoursome food we found. My mum eats small meals usually and when the huge meal came out I was like no way will she finish it but she loved the ocean trout pie so much she finished it off, my dad didn't even speak while he enjoyed his steak sandwich and I loved the Falafel.. so full of flavour! Also the polenta chips we shared were to die for! Thanks so much Fitzrovia we will be back and suggesting you to everyone :)

I recently organised a hen's event at Fitzrovia and I have to say Steven and the staff were fantastic! They set up a room for flower crown making, where we had antipasto platters and cocktails to snack on during the process. We had the set menu with choices out of 4 mains and desserts, which were cooked beautifully and well presented. We all left very satisfied. Steven kept up with our drinks demands with a variety of cocktails, which were quite fun and refreshing. I would highly recommend Fitzrovia for any small functions as they are great with communication, ensured everything ran smoothly and the quality of the food and service was superb!

My wife and I had been to Fitzrovia on a previous visit to Melbourne and loved it. Well this time it was at least as good again. The 4 breakfast/brunches we had there were all excellent. I particularly enjoyed the baked eggs (shakshuka style). I have no hesitation in recommending this “eggsellent” breakfast spot.

This chic cafe on a busy strip at St Kilda is such a gorgeous place to visit. With a European feel and pleasant atmosphere, we are always made to feel welcome here. Subtly decorated with a light ambience the focus at Fitzrovia is on the food and service, both of which are impeccable.

We have wined and dined here on several occasions, and the meals have always been exceptional; but my most recent visit was for coffee and cake. They have a divine display of homemade cakes and pastries, and it's always so difficult to choose. However, you can be guaranteed that whatever you pick will be fresh and delicious, and that little bit naughty!! Team that with perfect coffee, and it's plain to see that Fitzrovia has a loyal clientele that continue to return for very good reason.

For years now, Fitzrovia has been a family favourite for brunch and for tourists visiting Melbourne. Fitzrovia takes the middle meal to a restaurant experience with attentive service, a full range of menu options and alcohol on the side, if one wishes it. Not only that, but you can

Came here on a Tuesday lunchtime, the restaurant was quite busy and the outdoor seatings were almost all taken. The waitress was friendly and interactive and introduced some of the specials on the meals including the pulled pork burger which was massive! But it was very well cooked and seasoned to perfection, with juice floating everywhere. Does not recommend if you are on a date and want to eat neatly...

The potato Gnocchi was light and fluffy, like a delicious salty pillow for my mouth! The porcini mushrooms and portobello mushrooms were surprisingly juice. The goat cheese provided a much needed tanginess to complete the whole dish. However i think it could use a good squeeze of lemon juice too to cut down on the richness. There was a significantly longer wait time than other brunch spots though. Overall a very enjoyable lunch and will be back.

Ambience: 4.5/5
Food Quality: 4.5/5
Service: 4.5/5
Overall rating: 4.5/5

P.S. I didn’t encounter or witness any especially rude staff except a slightly indifferent waitress who brought about the coffee.. I do get the vibe that they are understaffed and the servers are under a bit more pressure than a normal cafe. Keep in mind if you are looking for consistent extraordinary services as it may differ depending on which waitress/waiter you get.

I ordered the picnic set before actually eat at restaurant and surprisingly the food for the picnic was really good (the truffle sandwich was unforgettable). that's why I decided to eat there after I returned the picnic set.
🥪 I ordered the bacon sandwich and mushroom.
Both was beyond expectation! It was one of the best brunch dishes. The portion quite big.
☕️ the chai latte wasn't special.
I'm going back there asap ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🧺 I also recommend ordering the picnic set, it was a really cute set with a fantastic menu.

Came here on Sunday which was Mothers Day last week and was surprised that we (2 pax) didn't have to wait too long to be seated. My fears of a large crowd taking their mums out for a brunch treat were wrong! 

We sat outside (which was lovely) and quickly ordered coffees. We then browsed the menu and ended up ordering x2 of the Sweet Potato and Caramelised Onion Fritters with Mushrooms, Pea Shoots and Poached Eggs (+ saganaki -how could I forget!). This caught our eye when the menu hit the table although there were many options that sounded enticing. 

The dishes once they came out didn't just look good - it tasted wonderful. I was actually surprised at how much better and flavourful it was then I had assumed. The sauce mixed through the mushrooms and shoots (which acted as a base for the fritters) was delicious and layered. I really liked that I could enjoy the crispiness of the fritters whilst lapping it up in the juices of the sauce and mushrooms as well as the gooey yolk from the eggs. Oh, and Saganaki makes everything better. 

All round I was thoroughly impressed and will be back for food again seeing as this is one of my locals. My only discretion with my experience was that I found it very odd that the table we were seated on could be considered communal? It was WAY too small and I voiced that I'd feel very uncomfortable with anyone else sitting there. It would be too close for comfort.


UPDATE: I've come again fro brunch mid-week and have again enjoyed my time at the cafe. I sat inside this time and the food was consistently delicious.

I went to Fitzrovia for a work friend’s farewell lunch yesterday. We were able to order our food online so by the time we got to the venue the food was already on the table waiting for us. This is really useful for locals working on St Kilda Road. It can take a while to get to Fitzrovia and by the time you order and eat you don’t have much time left in your hour break go return to work in time so this is definitely a good method!

I ordered the soy and mirin raw salmon salad bowl. Delicious and so healthy! All my favourite things in one bowl and so happy it wasn’t overloaded with lettuce (thank you! Other places would have loaded it up with lettuce and I’m really not a lettuce fan anyway!). The homemade kimchi was amazing as well! Only thing I could have thought of adding was wasabi for the raw salmon. Then it would have been perfect.

The male waiter (or was it a manager?) was very friendly! We got a bottle of champagne to share and he was good humoured, joking that he could put an espresso martini in a takeaway coffee cup to take back to the office 😂 we didn’t take him up on his offer but it was a good joke!

Over all the experience was fun! Good to see some personality in some of these restaurants near work nowadays!

The delicious food (fritters and ocean trout) and the appealing interior of this cafe would deserve a rating of 5 stars. Unfortunately some of the male waiters are pretty rude and make you feel rather unwelcome. Further the coffee is bitter and definitely below average in Melbourne.

Beautiful St Kilda location, with incredible food and ambience. Always super busy so book ahead or be prepared to wait. I had a calamari salad. It was a large serving with delicious noodles and lots of fresh herbs. Healthy and fresh!! The friends I dined with chowed down on the steak
Sandwich and signature pallenta chips - which were on point and a must!! Make sure you are hungry - as the servings are a good size and absolutely delicious.

The cafe is situated at opposite of Albert park. Friendly customer service and coffee has great aroma. I've also tried Latte with almond milk which gives light flavour. Thick cut bacon was so tasty. Tart of the day had well seasoning and beautiful salad dressing. Excellent quality of food.

Fresh produce displayed and utilised to its best to create gorgeous, palatable dishes. Tried the polenta crusted fingers and eggs Benedict. They were sapid and ambriosal! The only deterrent was losing my precious Pradas at this place. Made the whole experience unforgettable. Steer clear of forgetting your shades at the washroom and you'll love this place.

Will definitely be coming back for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I came for lunch, ordering the incredible polenta fries, although they filled me up before my main arrived. We ordered the pie and fritters, both generous servings with delicious flavours! Service was lovely and coffee was perfect!

I have been a fan of original Fitzrovia's chef/owner Paul Juson since 2010, loving to watch him and this team prepare food for us. Time flies, team changed, this lovely cafe continues to produce both excellent food and great coffee. Customer service is very nice and attentive. Spring 2017, my experience at Fitzrovia remains the same, hoping they keep continuing their good work for customers. Highly recommended 👍

Came here this morning for brunch with my partner, Josh. We got a lovely table outside in the glorious sunshine and there was some pleasant music playing to add to the ambiance. We got a couple of coffees to start and then Josh had the mushroom omelette with a gruyere potato cake and I had the toasted doorstop sandwich. The serving sizes were enormous! And the sandwich was 100% incredible! Flawless! Good quality bread, good quality cheese, loaded with delicious bacon and delicious relish! Yum! Service was great as well!

I have only tried their breakfasts and front window quickbites. The breakfast was really good the first time but the second time I ordered it, it was terrible :( the Rosti was literally mashed potato slipped on the plate. So very disappointing. It must have been a bad day, or a bad cook.

There window options for cakes, slices, muffins, blt, croissants 🥐 however ARE AMAZING!!!i love the BLT, it's really tasty and very well priced :) and today I walked out with a savoury muffin which it yummy. They have some regular options that are always there and they also change it up and add different ones each day.

I would like to try the lunch/ dinner next :)

Fabulous! What a great place. Literally stumbled upon Fitzrovia for Saturday lunch as we don't normally stop at this end of Fitzroy st. The very gorgeous Marco was our waiter & said we simply HAD to start with the Truffled Polenta chips & oh my lord, we are sooo glad we did! They are the BEST polenta chips we've ever had....& we've tried many. They were so good in fact, we went back on Sunday to have them again! Our other dishes were wonderful too, so this will now be a must visit when on that side of town! Marco was fabulous too.

Salad special was great and huge...service was not so good though...manager needs sto take some happy pills i think...3 of us were being seated on a table for 4 nd he said no it is reserved...we were placed on a table for 2 or squeezed onto it...still waiting for the reserved table to turn uo as we were there for 2 hours and it was still empty...food great serbice needs a dose of friendlness...will go back in better weather do we can sit outside nd not squeezed inside.

This place has nice modern cuisine and is moderately priced. They have a variety of dishes that will appeal to a range of people's tastes. There are also some home made style cakes at the front. Each day there are different pasta specials which are probably my favorite dishes to try. On a few occasions with the pasta, my friends and I found it quite salty, however the dish overall was still full of flavour. Last time I had a pork sausage roll and there was a hair stuck on side of the roll when I received it. The roll had a better texture than other rolls. The salad was made with a variety of leaves and people who appreciate salad should fine it has lots of flavor.

The service staff are very good and they are proactive with the service. They do like to suggest those polenta chips. This is definitely one of the more popular places in their area you should try.

LOVE THIS PLACE!! They not only have great food but as someone with celiac disease I really appreciated that when I asked for gluten free, they asked whether that was intolerance grade or celiac... I almost hugged the waiter. The only slightly negative thing I can say is… bring some coin! Going here is an outing and though I love it, not one that can be afforded on a regular basis. My personal favourite dish is the steak sandwich which I happily pay $26 because of the size and quality

I've been here for breakky this morning. Me and hubby had cappuccino, hubby said it's one of the best cuppa he ever had. For meals, i had ham and cheese croissant (taste good, ham and cheese never go wrong) and hubby had eggs on your way, he requested for scrambled eggs on sourdough served with tomato chutney. I liked how they cooked scrambled eggs, it was so fluffy yet softy and not dry. All cost we paid $31, best value for money

Fitzrovia is a popular little provincial English, all-day dining spot on Fitzroy Street.

Decked out with old typewriters, eclectically-stacked bookshelves and wooden crates of lemons, fennel and apples dotted about the place, it’s the perfect, homely spot to start the day. 

Predominantly using all local produce, my scrambled eggs, smashed avocado with feta and bacon was on the top end of the sliding scale that can be scrambled eggs. Fitzrovia also has a cake display of the delicious variety. I bagged a raspberry, peach and ricotta slice for later.

Alternatively, if you didn’t want to dine in, you can pick up a Fitzrovia gourmet picnic hamper* full of goodies, for a picnic in the St Kilda Botanical Gardens.

* Unfortunately, this won’t suit the unorganised – you need to place the picnic hamper order with Fitzrovia at least 24 hours in advance.

Went in to grab a coffee - it's a huge space, upstairs seating, looks like a little vegetable market. Heaps of pastries and desserts on the counter for sale and I love the old school cash register. My coffee was nice, although took a while for them to take my order. Looks like a good place to eat.

Thick cut bacon was seriously thick (2cm thick), food quality was emaculate. The mocha was pretty much above average and the hot chocolate was really good, although the price for them was a tad bit higher at $5 than what I'm used to. Food service was fast. Other than the interior design was a tad bit random, I can only give this place a 4.5/5 and will be coming back for their specialty fries soon.

Restaurant quality food in a cafe.
What more can I say, I enjoyed dinner here one night this week, and the dishes were all excellent. You could tell they used the freshest of ingredients, which brought out all flavours you would expect from a garden kitchen. The service was spot on with attentive staff. I also like the open kitchen, as you could see how well the chefs worked together. My only criticism would be the surrounding decor and noise, but then again it is a busy cafe, and we were after all there for the food. Would I go back - defiantly yes.

A regular haunt of mine but just realized I've never done a review! Generally, the dishes on their menu are amazing. Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. Everything is so well prepared and plated with care. St Ali's coffee is served and the baristas always do it justice. They also make good cocktails using local liquor such as a Melbourne Gin. Good place for a drink on a nice day as they also have plenty of outdoor seating.

Over the weekend we had the gnocchi and the fish pie. Gnocchi was the best I've ever had, I'm not sure if it's authentic but it's definitely my favorite gnocchi - soft on the inside and lightly toasted on one side. The pie had a beautiful puff pastry crust on the outside and trout, rockling and prawns as the protein on the inside. It was baked beautifully and I'd have two if it wasn't so filling!

Ok I realized the review might be over the top but I promise I don't work here! Just a big fan of the food.

We went here on the weekend for the second time. Just had to have the Polenta chips again, they are absolutely amazing.
We started with wine and Polenta chips and than onto the mains. There was a confusion with our mains and I didn't recieve mine. After speaking to the waitress they corrected the mistake and apologized.
Even though there was a mistake, it was corrected and we still had a great experience. So Thank you to the great staff, we will be back again.

I can see why the truffled polenta chips are a bestseller at Fitzrovia. They're amazingly crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with flavours of earthy truffle, cheese, and herbs meshing well with the maize. The rest of the menu is very appealing as well, and it's evident that great ingredients are used at this establishment with local produce labels being described. The sweet potato and caramelised onion fritters were delicious, though the outsides were very burnt. The combination of saganaki, eggs, and sautéed veggies was a good balance to the dish too. The winner of Fitzrovia was actually the interior decor for me, I love the attention to detail with the ornate fixtures at this cafe! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the house baked goods out the front too... Am looking forward to my next visit.

I recently organised a hen's event at Fitzrovia and I have to say Steven and the staff were fantastic!  They set up a room for flower crown making, where we had antipasto platters and cocktails to snack on during the process.  We had the set menu with choices out of 4 mains and desserts, which were cooked beautifully and well presented.  We all left very satisfied.  Steven kept up with our drinks demands with a variety of cocktails, which were quite fun and refreshing.  I would highly recommend Fitzrovia for any small functions as they are great with communication, ensured everything ran smoothly and the quality of the food and service was superb!

I've been here many times before and it is literally my favourite restaurant at this end of St Kilda. The main guy there is always attentive to customers and has a quirky humour.

The one thing I have been ordering constantly here are the polenta chips. They were amazing the first time I tried them many years ago but they seem to have gotten better this time around. What have they changed? Added more truffle oil? I don't know but it was just more tasty this time. 5/5

I also tried their creme brûlée French toast for the first time and it was divine. But ... The jus syrup could've been omitted as it didn't really add much to the dish and actually made the French toast overly soggy. I would've been happy to have it without the jus and instead had more of the whipped mascarpone. Yum! 4/5

Came here for a late (more lunchtime) breakfast for our first morning on a Melbourne weekend.

Watching all the staff rush around, there was no doubt that Fitzrovia was a very popular venue. After being seated in a rather quick but friendly manner, my Mum and I perused the menu. I had already done my research and knew exactly what I wanted- Persian baked eggs- and after much umming and aahing, Mum settled on the smoked trout.

After two tasty cappuccinos, our breakfasts came out, and I am not ashamed to say there was some excited squealing at the sight that met us.

My Persian baked eggs were jam packed with flavour - roasted capsicum, creamy feta, dukkah and deliciousness in one small skillet. The Turkish pide was equally scrumptious, and an excellent way to soak up left over juices.

Mum told me her meal was just as good, and she was pleasantly surprised to find that the soda bread was not crusty and impossible to cut as thick bread so often is, but soft and warm like a scone.

The only thing letting down the meals were the eggs were a bit runnier to how we usually like them, but that may just be personal preference.

If anyone is visiting st kilda, would definitely recommend this little cafe for a nice breakfast or brunch

Fitzrovia is an all-day dining restaurant overlooking Albert Park. The owners’ Paul Jewson and Marco Pugnaloni's ethos is to create luxe comfort food, inspired by provincial Italian and British cuisine - Think big flavours with rough edges.  Fitzrovia's slow roast lamb shoulder was comfort food at its best. We loved the creamy organic sweet potato mash served alongside beautiful confit onions, spring onion, crispy candy striped beetroot, and pea and mint jus.

We also tried the rocket lettuce with pumpkin.. I think I could have just eaten that as a meal by itself. All in all a fantastic venue to share a meal with friends and the staff are great and helpful.

I haven't tried any other meals, but I always order 1 thing there which is the creme brulee french toast. It was really good. The combination of savory bacon, sweet creme brulee, crunchy walnuts, and banananess banana was just perfect. Perfect spot for brunch.

St Kilda is well known for its relaxing ambience and chilled-out vibes by the beach. A few cool bars/restaurants occupy the beachfront scene, giving diners a meal with a view. But, that’s not all that St Kilda is known for. Carlisle Street and Fitzroy Street, both within walking distance of the beach, are saturated with cool, urban cafes, bars, restaurants and ice cream stores to feed the masses.

A top place to stop for a bite to eat. A few glasses of prosecco with some truffled polenta chips, mushroom gnocchi and calamari salad. Great service with food out in a matter of minutes.

The polenta chips were a tad salty (personal preference) and the other two dishes were perfect.

See you for break tomorrow morning!

Love this cafe! At peak brunch time on a late summer Saturday morning, not only did I manage to get a car park directly out front (unusual), but my pup and I were seated within about a minute and my order was taken with a smile very promptly. Coffee was delivered quickly and of great quality, and the breakfast brioche (which I highly recommend) was absolutely divine. Friendly service and my pup loved the extra attention, puppacino and treats! Will be back! 😀

It's my favorite Cafe & restaurant in Fitzory St. I recommended to my friend and we tried the slow cooked Lamb shoulder with Salad was very tasty. Friendly staff and nice environment for meeting friends. They provide a special Daily Menu which is very impressive. I would love to try Fish Pie next time. Thank you ~

Took my client who is a very sick man there this morning for breakfast. Waitress was amazing and friendly. We ordered my client his bacon and mozzarella toasted sandwich with poached egg. It came out and was slightly burnt. But all was excused when the manager and waitress handled it promptly and very well. My client has a sick and Doesn't like fuss, so I am so great full they handled it with ease when I told them. The coffee was amazing as well. Never been here as I have had my doubts about Fitzroy st but I am happy I took him here as it was amazing

Nice place next home. Food was great and they prepared a mix of desert for our friend birthday. They decorate the plate and made it so special. Coffee was fantastic and although it is a bit expensive, it is worth trying.

Probably the best thing about the snap lockdown #6 is the lockdown meal we brought from Fitzrovia. We ordered the Slow braised Central American lamb shoulder barbacoa with heirloom cherry tomato & lime salsa, pickled cabbage, lime chilli chickpea purée. Plus, Fitzrovia's gluten free chocolate brownie for dessert. The meal came with quick and easy instructions on how to heat up the meal and how to plate up. 3 serving was enough for 4 and for seconds. The lamb was tender, extremely tasty and the glaze was delicious. You can’t beat it or make it at home without having 2 sinks full of dishes to wash! Make lockdown more bearable and order from Fitzrovia.

Such great tasty quality and value here. There's a reason this place has a steady crowd and survived the pandemic. One of my favourite cafes in St Kilda (along with The Galleon, Blencowes Milk Bar, and Cowderoy Dairy).
