Brislora is small but punches above its weight with fabulous service and delicious food. Van (the owner) is always on hand to greet everyone and make you feel welcome. He listens and responds to feedback. The eggs Benedict with salmon is yummy but so are all the dishes especially the burgers. You can’t argue about the prices or the size of the servings. My go to every day

I was greeted by a smiling face, great first impression! The young man was helpful and also seemed interested in having a lovely conversation. The coffee was lovely and the caramel slice was what I thought it would be! Lovely clean modern cafe, nice and warm in this cold weather. I live on this street less than 30 seconds away and I think I have found my new coffee shop!

We visited this gorgeous cafe for brunch and it was amazing! Firstly, it’s such a lovely spot - it’s tucked away on a quiet, leafy street; has an oasis feel to it and much natural light. The staff were warm and welcoming + service was very fast! The food is also so beautifully presented! We tried the Wagyu Cheeseburger which was very tender; a bowl of crispy chips; the Crab Bagel Benny had lots of avocado and was nicely fried; the seafood pasta was creamy and the prawns were big and juicy; and our fave - the buttermilk pancakes - were warm fluffy and delicious. The drinks we tried: iced mocha; mixed berry smoothie (super refreshing); and caramel milkshake was SO good. Highly recommend this spot!

The best part of our weekend was soaking up the winter sun at @thebrislorastkilda and enjoying their delicious classic brunch dishes on offer. The chicken waffles were so juicy and the maple syrup rounded off the flavours really well. The seafood pasta was super creamy and the prawns were fresh. The specialty matchas were so smooth although could be a bit stronger in flavour. Overall a spot I’d definitely frequent if I lived in the area— it’s classic done well.

Tucked away on a sunny corner of St Kilda Road, @thebrislora is a hidden gem serving up seriously good vibes and even better food — and right now, they’ve got 30% off all menu items until 1st June! Crab Bagel Benny with a poached egg, mashed avocado, soft shell crab, salad mix, Hollandaise sauce and bagel Scrambled Eggs on Toast with Bacon Skinny Piccolo Skinny Latte We cleaned our plates (literally). The soft shell crab bagel with poached egg and hollandaise was next-level delicious , and the bacon and scrambled eggs were top quality — fluffy, rich, and cooked to perfection . Couldn’t resist going back for a second round of their smooth, expertly brewed coffee. Amazing service, cozy atmosphere, and a menu that hits all the right notes. Don’t miss it!

Hidden in plain sight this cafe is equal parts laidback and lowkey stylish. While their spelling might have been a little off (although I think they have just updated their menu, spelling mistakes and all), the aesthetic of both the venue and the food is surprisingly on point. It's the kind of place you find yourself at when you’re craving a quiet hideaway for a slow morning, and a decent cup of coffee. And the food is simple and familiar and doesn’t try too hard. No surprises but definitely no complaints - except the French Toast which was a thick slab of brioche soaked in cream with ice cream and condensed milk as opposed to the usual.

A truly delightful spot for brunch! The charming ambience, paired with soft natural light streaming through the windows creates the perfect cozy vibe. Every dish was crafted with such attention and tasted absolutely delicious, I ordered the chicken burger and it was 10/10! What really made the visit special was the staff; friendly, attentive and genuinely caring. This place has quickly become one of my top brunch destinations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and great meal experience
