No one leaves here hungry, whether they’re sharing house-made croissants with their pup on the pocket-sized front patio, eating crumbed eggplant toasties in the chic vanilla-toned cafe, or holed up on the mezzanine at night with a bowl of spaghetti puttanesca. Brunch is king, and the undeniable favourite is the doorstop-sized French toast. Via Porta also has a Hawthorn bakery.
Good to know: Local parking inspectors ruthlessly enforce time limits. You’ve been warned.
