Coffee, Cocktails, and a Kitchen That Punches Above Its Weight. Plus, all day bottomless
Arcadia on Gertrude Street, Fitzroy is the quintessential local Melbourne café, but it offers elevated café food and service, as well as bar service all day!
You can find your favourite spot, whether it’s sitting inside, in the cosy rear courtyard or alfresco out the front to watch the world go by. It’s a great place to work, meet and catch up during the week, recover from local hospital night shift or enjoy the buzzing atmosphere on the weekends as the street comes to life.
One of The Best Café Menus In Melbourne
There’s something for everyone at Arcadia, all taste buds are covered…
With dishes varying from the unique Fried Chicken Cwaffle – yes you read that right – (croissant waffle, green tomato relish, Canadian maple syrup, whipped coffee butter), $27 to Slow Roasted Brisket (sourdough potato roll, horseradish cream, sauerkraut, onion jam, fries, with the option to add a fried egg for $4), $28 there’s so many reasons to return to Arcadia time and again.
Other menu highlights include:
- Chilli Folded Eggs is the biggest seller (house-made crispy chilli oil, whipped goat’s curd, sourdough, with the option to add chorizo), $23
- French Picnic Plate (shaved ham or soft-boiled egg, mushrooms, radishes, tomato, truffled brie, espresso butter, baby baguette, with the option to add hash browns), $25
- Holy Crumpets (with coffee butter and organic maple syrup), $14

As winter sets in there’s always a menu refresh from Acai Bowls to its cosy cousin Porridge and a rotating range of hearty healthy soups.

Fur Babies Are Welcome
The Arcadia team know that people love to head to a local café with their pup and so they are welcome to join at either of the outdoor areas. Plus, there’s free doggie treats and Puppa-Chinos are available to order.
Whether it’s a place to grab your morning coffee, enjoy a delicious breakfast to start the day, have a lazy brunch with friends, working lunch, drinks and bites, or savour a bottomless package, Arcadia offers a destination to do it all!
