Arcadia Café

Coffee, cocktails, and a kitchen that punches well above its weight on Gertrude Street. Arcadia is the quintessential local Melbourne café — elevated food and bar service all day, whether you're working on a laptop through the week, recovering from a hospital night shift, or soaking up the buzzing weekend street life. The rear courtyard is a gem. Try the Fried Chicken Cwaffle (croissant waffle with green tomato relish) if you know what's good for you.
