"This is a spot for in-the-know diners who aren't afraid of making a trek (to a suburban area of Footscray) for a worthy breakfast. The menu at Rudimentary is well-suited for every diet—from omnivores to vegan to gluten free—with creative options to suit every taste. Whatever you do, don't miss the sticky-date waffle; the fruit is whipped into a perfectly balanced batter, griddled, and topped with poached pears, ricotta, and milk jam. On the savory side, you can't go wrong with the saffron pilaf breakfast bowl, which is topped with chorizo, herbs, creamy labneh, and pistachio." - Krista Simmons
