No. 19 Society

Best Known For

Crispy spicy chicken croffle with cabbage, aioli, fennel jam and a hash brown.

Simple, yet sophisticated and always intentional, discerning Melbourne foodies head to No. 19 Society on Union Road in Ascot Vale for good food, good coffee and good company. Inspired by delicatessens that once flourished around Melbourne in the 1950s, expect high ceilings and natural light while the concrete interior is accented by brass and elegant furniture detailing a dining experience to enjoy, remember and return to. Early risers opt for golden folded eggs with housemade sambal, crispy shallots, coriander and sourdough, or grilled halloumi, zucchini, charred silverbeet, poached egg, herbed yoghurt, chive and sourdough toast. Join a lively lunch crowd for a chicken taco salad with avocado, tomato, red onion, corn, black beans, lettuce, jalapeño, crème fraiche, salsa and lime dressing.
