Brunch in Albert Park

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.

Fully Licensed — Wine, Cocktails and Coffee

Monti is the Albert Park café that takes its wine as seriously as its brunch. That means you can order an espresso martini with your eggs, an Aperol Spritz with your smashed avo, or a glass of something from our curated wine list — all before midday.

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
  • Cold-pressed juices and smoothies

Whether it’s coffee or cocktails, there’s something for every kind of brunch at 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.

We’re family-friendly with high chairs and a kids’ menu, and fully wheelchair accessible.
