Housemade gnocchi with creamy, Napoli pesto sauce.

A home away from home for Bentleigh locals, Fifth Chapter on Centre Road is a linger-worthy comfort spot for good food and quality coffee. A full-length wall of hanging plants creates an oasis of green, with a polished concrete counter adding a sleek touch, as guests are welcomed into a calming vibe of blond wood furniture and natural light, setting a bright and breezy ambience. Stop by for all-day breakfast dishes such as corn fritters with charred corn and tomato salsa, jalapeño, lime, coriander aioli, smoked salmon and poached eggs; or smashed avocado on sourdough toast with basil pesto and lemon. Lunchgoers are enticed by gourmet burgers like pulled pork with coleslaw, aioli and a side of fries; or perhaps delve into lightly-fried calamari, served on a fresh garden salad.
