Moon Mart

The 24 Best Restaurants In Melbourne - Melbourne - The Infatuation

"Moon Mart started life as an online store selling kimchi made from the chef’s grandmother’s recipe. Today, it’s a joyful cafe with a cult following. Shelves hold condiments and preserves, and the inventive brunch menu takes cues from the convenience stores of Korea and Japan. Those who know this place know it for one of three dishes: the cheese, kimchi, and funky fermented honey jaffle (a type of toasted sandwich), the char sui bacon-and-egg roll, and a hash brown given the okonomiyaki treatment with Kewpie mayonnaise and bonito flakes. Whether you’re at a wooden table with mates, brunching solo at a street-facing bench, or gearing up to explore South Melbourne Market nearby, the light-flooded room guarantees a zen start to the day. The matcha is some of the best in town—get it layered with strawberry compote, or espresso for extra kick." - ellen fraser
