No. 19 Society

No.19 is a gorgeous light filled cafe located along Union Road, Ascot Vale. Visiting for lunch we ordered the Dauphinoise Benedict, mushrooms and the orange blossom pancake to share. For drinks we had the tropicola and snickers smoothies. Everything we ordered came out beautifully presented. Out of the three dishes the Mushrooms was my favourite. The pan roasted mushrooms worked beautifully with the brocollini, mushroom pate, alfalfa, grana Padano, poached egg & sourdough toast. It was tasty and full of flavour. I highly recommend it if you love mushrooms. Rather than the traditional bread, the Benedict here features Dauphinoise potatoes along with 24hr slow cooked pork, spinach and crisp kale. The eggs were perfectly poached, the pork was tender and I really enjoyed the crisp kale. Overall it was delicious and filling, although I found it to be on the richer side and I’d suggest ordering this dish to share. The orange blossom pancake was light, soft and fluffy. Served with macadamia ice cream, wattleseed, crunchy nut clusters, mandarin compote and dulce de leche, it was sweet but not overly sweet. I loved the variety of textures and the mandarin flavour. My friend and I both enjoyed our smoothies. The tropicola was refreshing and the snickers was creamy and delicious. Overall I had an amazing experience at No. 19. I loved the food, friendly service and beautiful interior. I rate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5 and recommend checking them out if you’re in the area. Thanks very much for having me.

I am pretty sure No.19 Cafe is no stranger to brunch lovers in Melbourne. Popular with its inventive brunch menu and beautiful interior, I always look forward to revisit this brunch spot. My fave is their Orange blossom pancake which comes with macadamia ice cream, wattle seed, mandarin compote and segments and dulce de leche.

We ordered the brown rice bowl, dirty chai, soft shell crab burger and a lotus biscoff shake. The brown rice bowl was delicious, not a single grain left in the bowl. Their chips were very crispy, and same with the soft shell crab. Delicious! I'm not a big fan of the dirty chai but the shake was good. Bright, stylish and beautiful space with friendly staff. Will definitely revisit!
