University Cafe

Located on bustling Lygon Street, University Cafe has been delighting diners with its excellent Italian cooking since 1952.

The cafe was one of Melbourne's first espresso bars when it opened and today the restaurant is still as popular with locals, academics and tourists alike who flock there to enjoy generous bowls of home-style pasta and risotto accompanied by excellent coffee, either inside or al fresco, to watch Carlton's eclectic locals pass by.
