Doncaster East foodies seeking a caffeine hit and café fare with flair head to Three Monkeys Place on Jacksons Court. With an alfresco corner frontage, this café is the place to soak up Melbourne sun on balmy days; while indoors oozes rustic charm from whitewashed brick walls, exposed pendent globe lighting and polished concrete floors. Take a seat under market umbrellas in the courtyard out back to peruse a menu offering breakfast plates such as wild Asian mushroom eggs Benedict, with spinach and Hollandaise sauce, on sourdough toast. The lunch crowd enjoys a glass of chilled white wine, alongside local favourite dishes of angel hair pasta, ocean prawns, mussels, tomato and saffron bisque; or lychee red duck curry, with snake beans, eggplant, red pepper, pineapple and roti bread.
