Each dish is made to suit the season, lighter, fresher and designed to be enjoyed all day long, whether you’re brunching early or lingering into lunch.
All Day, Every Day Great Cocktail Prices
Because Melbourne days are best spent with a drink in hand, the bar is open all day, with some of the city’s best-value cocktails. Negronis, Margaritas and Martinis start from just $10–$12, served alongside craft beer, wine, mocktails, smoothies and juices.
Guests can drop in for a morning coffee, boozy brunch with friends, or enjoy a late-lunch with a cocktail. From the inviting interior to the pet friendly cosy rear courtyard and street-side alfresco tables that are perfect for people-watching, there’s a spot for everyone and every occasion.
The Anytime Bottomless Brunch
Arcadia’s Bottomless Brunch continues to be one of Fitzroy’s best-kept secrets, offering 1.5 hours of free-flowing cocktails, wine and beer for $49 with the purchase of any main meal. Whether it’s a Saturday celebration, midweek indulgence or spontaneous catch-up, the bottomless option is available all day, every day.
The Heart of Gertrude Street
Arcadia has long been a neighbourhood institution, a café where locals, creatives, and hospital shift workers all find their spot. It’s the kind of place where baristas know guests’ orders, and the menu invites people to linger. Pups are always welcome, with four-legged guests able to relax in the outdoor areas.
Established on Gertrude Street in the heart of Fitzroy, Arcadia Café & Bar remains a true Melbourne staple, where great coffee, elevated brunch fare and a full bar come together under one roof.
