Acustico

Best Known For

Smoked salmon carpaccio, rocket, ginger, coriander, lemon, marinated fennel, capers, sliced beetroot and poached eggs.

Owned by hard-working and passionate hospitality duo Joey and Jeremy Massa, Acustico on Union Street brings a touch of pizzazz to Brunswick’s vibrant café scene. Look for the converted warehouse with a beautifully painted mural of a sleeping figure and black crow on the side and unwind in cosy timber-lined surrounds, or under a shaded tree if Melbourne’s weather is kind. Brunch dishes here go beyond the usual offerings – think a breakfast burrito wrap, filled with avocado, tomato, halloumi, eggs and bacon; while the lunch crowd may opt for a jewel salad of French lentils, freekah, currants, roasted hazelnuts, red quinoa, pepitas, coriander, pumpkin and halloumi, with honey and yoghurt citrus dressing. A range of freshly made toasties and baguettes are also available for those on the run.
