Operator 25

  • Cafe

Operator 25 is a great place to have brunch in a historic, heritage-listed building.

This cafe offers high quality breakfast and lunch dishes with a modern rustic feel that suits their refit of the old Melbourne telephone exchange.

Their all-day menu includes breakfast staples adapted for modern palates such as Singapore chilli crab omelette or pulled beef benedict. Try the Balinese pork burger or the peking duck leg for one of their Asian-influenced mains. Don't skip on the sweet offerings such as matcha strawberry hotcake and ube waffle.

Coffee lovers have plenty of options with beans from Code Black Coffee prepared how you like it. Plus signature drink creations using matcha and coffee.
