The Copper Mill

Best Known For

Coddled Egg: sweet potato puree, wilted baby spinach, thyme, egg in a jar with buttered sourdough dippers.

Take the bite off lingering hunger at The Copper Mill on Mitchell Road in Alexandria. A simple, low key interior of concrete floors, reclaimed timber benchtops and tables teamed with slate grey walls, creates an unpretentious vibe, where guests take their time with an aromatic Golden Cobra coffee while checking out a rustic menu of café fare. Start the morning with a Peruvian pork belly roll, with crackling, salsa criolla, Spanish onion, roast sweet potato, eggless aioli and soft fried egg; or perhaps a smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese and housemade rhubarb, beetroot and green chilli relish. Lunchgoers may savour delights such as corn and cauliflower cakes, with caramelised fennel and red cabbage, topped with macadamia feta, green capsicum, Sicilian olives and jalapeno herbed salsa.
