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 matcha paleo granola or barbecue pork benedict. Try the Balinese pork burger or the Thai marinated duck leg for one of their Asian-influenced mains.

Coffee lovers have plenty of options with coffee from Code Black prepared how you like it.
