Brunch at Monti Food and Wine
Monti Food and Wine is Albert Park’s fully licensed café, serving brunch seven days a week at 315 Montague St. Whether you’re starting with specialty coffee or a glass of Yarra Valley pinot, our Mediterranean-influenced brunch menu is built around fresh, seasonal ingredients and house-made everything — from pastries to sauces to our signature Bloody Monti.
We’re open Monday to Friday from 7am and weekends from 8am, with brunch served until 3pm every day. Walk-ins are welcome, or book a table for groups of five or more.
What’s on the Brunch Menu
Our brunch menu changes with the seasons, but these are the dishes that keep Albert Park coming back:
- Folded Eggs — chili, Persian feta, garden herbs, zhug, and sourdough. Rich, spicy, and our most ordered dish.
- Smashed Avocado — harissa-spiced with quinoa tabouli, goat cheese, and a poached egg on sourdough.
- MeneMen — Turkish baked eggs with tomato, green pepper, and chili, served with crusty bread.
- Ricotta Hotcakes — house-made with seasonal fruit compote, mascarpone, and maple.
- Eggs Your Way — poached, fried, or scrambled on your choice of sourdough, rye, or gluten-free bread.
Our full menu includes lunch mains like the signature beef ragu pappardelle and crab spaghettini. View the full menu.

Our drinks menu includes:
- Specialty coffee and espresso (including our new matcha cold foam series)
- Australian and international wines by the glass
- Cocktails — Espresso Martini, Aperol Spritz, Bloody Monti

Our Space
Inside, Monti is warm and relaxed — natural light, timber, and a soundtrack that lets you talk. Outside, our courtyard is one of Albert Park’s best-kept secrets: sheltered, leafy, and dog-friendly. It’s the kind of place where a quick coffee turns into a long brunch.
