About Gracious Grace Cafe
From casual coffee and irresistible cakes to hearty all-day meals, Gracious Grace Café on Castella Street is a linger-worthy destination for Lilydale locals. Eat, drink and be merry in elegant style while overlooking picturesque Melba Park at this trendy café, where polished wood floors and white table settings create a light, bright vibe ideal for catching up with friends over an aromatic brew. On balmy days, dine alfresco in the private deck area, while perusing a bistro-style menu plating up breaky tempters like baked eggs with cannellini beans, braised with rosemary, streaky bacon and tomato. Later guests may be enticed by pan fried gnocchi with Brussel sprouts and pancetta; or slow cooked chicken, with saffron, white wine, pine nuts and sultanas, served with couscous and crusty bread.

Delicious and hearty food
Winter lunch last week was just delicious. I was lucky to get the last beef cheeks and they were amazing! The pork cassoulet my husband had was equally enjoyable. I love it that the prices are very reasonable and uniform - not much variation over the lunch menu overall. Service was excellent this time and previous times we’ve been. Definitely a favourite of ours.
Smashing !
Avo smash here is incredible. So much smash served on seed bread topped with the most amazing creamy garlicky feta. This is my go to every time I go out, and gracious grace has the best I’ve ever had
