Trend Cafe and Restaurant Southbank

Trend Cafe and Restaurant Southbank brings a bright, feel-good energy to Melbourne’s riverside. From first light to late lunch, the kitchen leans into made-from-scratch signatures and quality produce, turning simple pleasures into something a little special. It is the sort of spot where the coffee is taken seriously, the welcome is warm, and breakfast quietly steals the show.

Mornings might begin with harissa scrambled eggs laced with buffalo mozzarella and sweet cherry tomatoes, or avocado on multigrain with a silky egg and a whisper of smoked salmon. As the day unfolds, the mood shifts to crisp salads — think a classic Caesar or a Thai beef salad with a sesame seed dressing — and comforting plates like chicken parma with napoli sauce, BBQ ribs with crunchy fries, or twirl-after-twirl of spaghetti Bolognese and creamy seafood risotto. Woodfire favourites complete the picture, from a timeless Margherita to a hot honey pepperoni number.

A welcoming, community-minded atmosphere anchors it all. This vibrant hub draws coffee aficionados and brunch enthusiasts alike, hosting special events and themed gatherings in an interior that blends rustic familiarity with innovative global touches, in step with an Australia-inspired culinary philosophy.

Drop in for a perfectly brewed pick-me-up, linger over lunch, and let the team look after the rest. Southbank has its new favourite meeting place — follow the flavour and join the trend.
