Small Graces

Footscray locals nourish their mind and body at Small Graces on Byron Street. This cosy, friendly café welcomes diners with recycled timber tables, pale blue counter tiles and pendulum lights, creating a bright and breezy vibe for lingering over a leisurely breakfast. Sit alfresco among planter boxes full of herbs for the kitchen and peruse a menu focusing on seasonal, wholesome fare that is ethically sourced. Those on the run can grab a bite to go from the cabinet, or dine in on eggs Benedict-ish with two poached eggs, slow-cooked pork neck, hollandaise, crackling crumb and toast. Be tempted by mushroom ragout with confit garlic, tarragon, pine nuts, truffled pecorino and toast, or for a tasty treat delve into sweet potato waffles with black sesame ice cream, grilled banana and berries.
