Eliana Lulu, tucked into the iconic Centre Place laneway, is the kind of café that captures Melbourne’s heart in a single glance. The atmosphere hums with the energy of the city, where street art splashes colour against the brickwork and the aroma of freshly ground coffee drifts into the laneway. Inside, the space balances intimacy with vibrancy - an eclectic mix of timber, soft lighting and urban edge. The menu leans on Mediterranean inspiration, offering wholesome dishes layered with bright, fresh flavours. Stop in early for chilli scrambled eggs, with cherry tomatoes, Danish feta and wild mushrooms, on sourdough; or join the lively lunch crowd for linguine marinara with mixed seafood, Napoli sauce, onions and peppers. Pizza lovers opt for smoked ham, camembert, Napoli and mozzarella.
