Best Breakfast in Melbourne

I know its a big call - massive in fact.  But our local cafe, Mitte, truly is worth the accolade.  Tucked away on a quiet residential street,  this place serves up a delicious range of meals that couldn't be further from your average bacon and eggs or eggs benedict.

My firm favourite is the Potato and chorizo omelette served with sourdough toast, tomato relish as well as a salad of cherry tomatoes, boccocini and basil.  Drinks tend to consist of one or two coffees and a delicious (dairy free) raspberry smoothie. 

Other dishes that rate highly are the Breakfast Crumble... the Baked Eggs... and the Pikelets with berry compote. The lunch menu consists mainly of fresh or toasted sandwiches, plus a few hot options such as meatballs. 

It is a very popular cafe and you cant book ahead, so either get there early (very early) or be prepared to wait for a table.  If the sun is shining, then the tables outside are a good bet. 

If you are visiting Melbourne, then get the 86 Tram from the city heading towards Northcote and hop off at Clifton Hill (before you go under the train line) and make a short walk north to Mitte, which is located on the corner of Michael and Rowe Streets.   Alternatively, get the 112 Tram up Brunswick Street / St Georges Rd and hop off at Edinburgh Gardens and head east. A bit more of a walk but the gardens make for a nice wander.
