Intermission Café & Bar

  • Bar
  • Cafe

Step into Intermission, a modern ode to the timeless charm of a 1950s European espresso bar. The name itself, inspired by the world of theatre, extends a warm invitation to pause and relish the moment.

Café by day, Intermission brews up aromatic artisanal coffee as the city starts to wake. An assortment of house-baked pastries, beautifully presented open sandwiches, and a very popular cacio e pepe toastie are also on hand to delight the morning crowd.

For a unique experience, try their delicious take on the trending summer treat… the Affogato - a delicious blend of Axil Coffee and Le Méridien's world-famous gelato.

At dusk, Intermission morphs into an elegantly laid-back bar. End the day with a glass of wine in hand – chosen from a curated menu showcasing Melbourne’s dress circle of vineyards.
