Dirty Apron

Dirty by name, but not by nature Dirty Apron on Ramsden Street at Clifton Hill is turning local heads with brunch fare with flair. Housed in an old, refurbished butcher shop, this cheery café teams exposed brick walls with turquoise green colour accents to create an appetising ambience that begs guests to linger over a morning latte and all-day Mod Oz breakfast menu. Kick start the day with ‘super greens’ of thyme seasoned pumpkin, sautéed greens, beetroot puree, Persian feta and poached eggs, or perhaps orange sun-drenched bircher with green apple, toasted coconut, pomegranate and pepita seeds. Those with more ravenous tastes may devour a pork belly burger with house slaw, herbs, chips and aioli, while vegetarian options include cauliflower salad with spiced almonds and tahini dressing.
