Clothesline Cafe

A few words from Clothesline Cafe

For a refined take on brunch and a cosy vibe, head to Clothesline Café on Humffray Street South in Ballarat. Celebrating people, plants, architecture and food, this lively and inviting local hangout nestles in a former modest home, with the backyard an immersive garden dining area and the front yard boasts a large deck, ideal for relaxing with family and friends. The café's eponymous clothesline still stands out back as a nod to the past; visit early for brunch tempters such as smoked trout, wakame, miso emulsion, shiso, tobiko and poached egg, on sourdough. The lunch crowd devours dishes like a ham hock baguette, with salsa rossa, olive crumb, charred leek, cos and goats' cheese; or wrap your hands around a roast pork banh mi, with pickles, Asian herbs, chilli, mint and peanut pesto.
