Arcadia Cafe

Best Known For

Pappardelle with slow-cooked beef ragu, rosemary, tomatoes and Parmesan, served with a French baguette.

Well-loved Fitzroy local Arcadia Café on Gertrude Street dishes up delicious and reliably good fare with flair that has diners returning time and again. A simple and unpretentious vibe of high ceilings, timber furnishings, whitewashed walls and large windows overlooking the street makes for an ideal spot to linger over aromatic coffee, breakfast and lunch choices. With brunch cocktails like a Bloody Mary on offer, settle in and devour zucchini and corn fritters on a bed of fennel, capers and cherry tomato salad, with avocado, habanero chilli lime mayo, eggs and smoked salmon. The lunch crowd is satisfied with the likes of a super green bowl with chicken, kale, asparagus, tomatoes, turmeric kraut, pepitas, sunflower seeds, almond, roasted sweet potato, beetroot, quinoa and pumpkin hummus.
