Brunch on the corner
Panette Eatery is a licensed cafe on Cecil St, opposite South Melbourne Market. Open daily, 7am to 4pm.
Breakfast under the red umbrellas
Your customers keep coming back to the same three things: the welcoming staff, the pancakes and the people-watching.
Panette Eatery sits on the corner of the Albert Buildings on Cecil St, right across from South Melbourne Market. Inside it is warm timber, white bistro chairs, pendant lanterns and quirky framed rabbits. Outside, tables spill onto the footpath under red umbrellas and big street trees.
The kitchen leans rustic Mediterranean: generous brunch plates, pancakes, pasta and toasties, plus good coffee, a long tea list, and beer, wine and cocktails. Dine in or take away, seven days a week.
