The Basement Cafe

  • Cafe

Basement Cafe serves up a mixture of Filipino and Australian options for breakfast and lunch.

Here avocado toast and eggs sits comfortably alongside a range of Filipino dishes, including silog - garlic rice with a fried egg, pickles and a protein, such as longanisa (sweet sausage) or chicken.

Other dishes include Filipino style spaghetti, pancit palabok, menudo (pork stew dish with carrots and potato), and pancit guisado. For sweet cravings try the leche flan, halo-halo (shaved ice, milk, fruits) or ube muffins.

Keep an eye on their socials for daily specials.
