Best cafes in North Richmond, ranked

1. #1North Cafe for a weekend breakfast

   $🌳 North Richmond Park & Turnbull Oval, 5 min walk

   North Cafe is the top pick for a slow breakfast. Order the green eggs and bacon benny, which one diner said had runny yolks and proper hollandaise, or the croissant with brie and mushrooms. The cafe opens at 7:30am on Sundays and Saturdays and closes at 1pm, so a weekend visit has to start early. Visitors also single out the matcha for its deep, grassy flavour.

2. #2Mr Wulf for burgers and thick shakes

   🌳 North Richmond Park & Turnbull Oval, 5 min walk

   The decor at Mr Wulf is loud and quirky, with graffiti covering the walls. Burgers are the dish that keeps diners coming back, and the double chicken burger is the one to order. The thick milkshakes are worth a try too, and one visitor called it one of the best they had tried. Trading runs Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 3pm, which makes a late lunch the natural visit.

3. #3The Butler's Pantry Cafe for a lakeside lunch

Order the crab spaghetti with Alaskan crab and chilli oil, or the schnitzel burger with hash browns. Doors open at 6am daily, and the kitchen runs dinner Wednesday through Saturday, closing at 8:30pm midweek and at 9pm on Friday and Saturday. Service comes across as warm and attentive.
