Brunch Mountain Cafe Restaurant

Only few minutes drive from Rhododendron Gardens, this vintage style restaurant would send you back to the oldies era. Staff were friendly and courteous. The coffee was awesome and food was delicious. Love the decor and ambience.

Delicious morning brunch cafe situated inside a cosy cottage. I had the London Grill which had very generous portions and the taste is very good.

The garden and verandah area outside the Cafe is also very beautiful.

We came to Brunch Cafe to have lunch before a visit to William Ricketts Sanctuary down the road. Surprise surprise. What a lovely place to have lunch. Its cosy, warm and rustic. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. Thank you for your great service.

Drinks: We had French Earl Grey - which we liked compared to the T2 variety. The Hot Chocolate is rich and yummy as it's made with Lindt chocolates. Highly recommended.

Food: Pie of the day was green pepper and steak. A bit dry but taste was okay. Parma was okay, not that we are much of a parma fan. The scones were nice and goes well with the Earl Grey. The steak in Shiraz was yummy. Our favourite dish for the lunch.

We would highly recommend this place for drinks, food, great service, and a nice lovely atmosphere!

We ordered baguette and parma, great food with low seasoning. Coffee is awesome. Warm customer service and beauty old style décor. Would suggest fixing unlevel table, and outdoor / garden to make it perfect.

Amazing little cafe, great food. I had the schnitzel burger and my mother in law had the falafel burger. Great vegan options. Highly recommend. We will be back.

Excellent service and very friendly staff. Lunch and coffee was superb. Highly recommend

A lovely, quiet and friendly place, tucked up in the mountains. The cafe has been turned from an old home, which is packed with books and could be yours with a nominal donation.

The service is warm and food is fresh and very good.

We had a fantastic experience at Brunch! An intimate and cosy atmosphere is paired with warm and speedy service.

The salmon with beetroot salad was simply delightful. Others in my party equally enjoyed the Nourish Bowl and Brunch Burger, and we all found the Chunky Cut Chips addictive. Very well priced.

Tucked into Olinda's huge trees, Brunch is a house converted to cafe and restaraunt. Owner and head chef Louise and husband Mark have created a personal and unique environment. The various rooms are a pleasure to wander through; warmed by a series of hearths while perusing the bookshelves present in every room, interspersed with art from their life in England combined with old black and white photos of the local Dandenong Ranges area at various times throughout its history.

We'd highly recommend giving Brunch a try; you won't be disappointed. We'll definitely visit again.

An unintended visit was a great end of day after an all of family outing. Less than an hour from closing time we were welcomed, not rushed, and able to take time to order meals and drinks. We stayed for nearly two hours. Set in an old house the cafe provides differing ambience and experiences in each room. Family members ate cooked meals which they all enjoyed, but my choice of Devon Tea with clotted cream and home made strawberry jam was a top choice. They also sell a delicious range of "home stirred" jams. Probably the friendliest cafe I have visited on Mount Dandenong.

Amazing food choices, great food, great coffee, the restaurant set up is like home with fireplace. We will definitely come back to try all the food.

Friendly place to relax and enjoy company. An old home, restored. Great staff and amazing food with a twist. If you enjoy reading grab a cheap book. With a short 200m walk to William Ricketts Santuary.

A hidden gem,
Food, nature and a warm fire place, perfect for a day out or a cosy time inside

Hidden treasure in the Dandenong Ranges.
Lovely, yummy food. Got few fire places to keep all the guests warm

Amazing food, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and beautiful location

Came here impromptu to have brunch, the staff very generously let us have a table outside even though they were preparing for a mini wedding. The food and the atmosphere were very deliciously and calming, adding to the lovely coffee, made our day started off really well!

Lovely location for a meal in the hills. Unique seasonal menu.

What a place! First of all the service was outstanding, my partner has some food allergies and they went above and beyond to cater for her, and created a specific dish just for her. The food was amazing, in a perfectly cosy and comfortable atmosphere with a charity fundraising bookstore in the dining rooms. Felt so at home we ate here 3 times in 3 days. Also the coffee was superb

We chose this restaurant on-line based on its location and ratings. We were not disappointed. The food was just delicious. I really loved my chicken schnitzel salad. The only improvement needed is a greater choice of white wine by the glass. With food this good, I was disappointed that I was not able to choose my favourite wine to enhance the experience. Lovely ambience, friendly staff and a great location. We will return!

We had brunch at this little cafe before heading to the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens. It was really lovely. The food and service were good. They have a wall cabinet full of books and a fire place which was in use the day we went as it was quite cold. Really nice experience.

Really comfy mountain cafe, great food, great service, fabulous staff. Had a great catch up with friends and there was no pressure to leave after we'd finished eating. Is going to be an awesome place when they start using the fire places.
