The Glass Den

Best Known For

Lobster Squid Ink Pasta, Bee in the Garden and our Wild Mushrooms & Truffle

Based next door to the historic Pentridge Prison, The Glass Den on Urquhart Street has captured the hearts of the Coburg café crowd. A spacious interior lends itself to an industrial theme using large bare bulb lighting, steel beams and dark timber furnishings, with a covered outdoor courtyard perfect for Melbourne's unpredictable weather. With everything made inhouse, a Modern Australian menu puts a different twist on classics; think breakfast choices such as green tea soba noodles, sautéed kale, garlic polenta crumbed oyster mushrooms, pine nuts, smoked coconut and kale sesame crumble. Join a lively lunch crowd over a slab burger – brioche bun, rump steak, greens, avocado, pickled cabbage, cheese, Asian slaw and chipotle mayo – or a house-cured smoked salmon bagel and lemon caper mousse.
