The Glass Den

Best Known For

Mushroom and Caramelised Pulled Pork Taco: soft taco with pulled pork, enoki fried mushrooms, corn and bean shoots, micro salad, alfalfa, coriander, chilli, pickled cabbage and chipotle mayo.

Based next door to the historic Pentridge Prison, The Glass Den on Urquhart Street has captured the hearts of the Coburg café crowd. A spacious interior lends itself to an industrial theme using large bare bulb lighting, steel beams and dark timber furnishings, with a covered outdoor courtyard perfect for Melbourne's unpredictable weather. With everything made inhouse, a Modern Australian menu puts a different twist on classics; think breakfast choices such as green tea soba noodles, sautéed kale, garlic polenta crumbed oyster mushrooms, pine nuts, smoked coconut and kale sesame crumble. Join a lively lunch crowd over a slab burger – brioche bun, rump steak, greens, avocado, pickled cabbage, cheese, Asian slaw and chipotle mayo – or a house-cured smoked salmon bagel and lemon caper mousse.
