The Old Milk Bar

Once an old Thornbury milk bar, The Old Milk Bar has been thoughtfully transformed into a cosy local refuge. Sun-drenched outdoor tables invite lazy catch-ups, while a snug indoor nook offers shelter from a chilly Melbourne morning.

The menu leans into comforting classics with a polished touch. All-day breakfast sees eggs Benedict arrive with homemade hollandaise, braised ham hock and peppery roquette on toasted sourdough, while French toast pairs maple syrup and bacon with a cloud of mascarpone.

For something heartier, there’s fish and chips served with tartare sauce, fries and salad, or a risotto of asparagus, peas, parmesan and poached egg. The options continue with lamb skewers for those craving protein, or falafel focaccia for a vegetarian alternative that’s just as satisfying.

Settle in for a lingering brunch or pop by for a quick pick-me-up. The Old Milk Bar is ready when you are, pouring comfort by the cup and nostalgia by the slice.
