Melbourne is full of hidden gems, and Higher Ground definitely falls into that category. Tucked away in a heritage-listed building, it's not your typical cafe. It has this cool industrial-chic vibe, with exposed brick walls and a multi-level layout that feels both spacious and intimate. I went for brunch and was blown away by the menu. It's not your average fare - think avocado pretzel with a fancy twist or fiery chili scrambled eggs. I opted for the ricotta hotcakes with poached pears and maple syrup, and it was divine. The portion was perfect, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was beautiful. The service was another highlight. The staff were friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. They were happy to answer my questions about the menu and the building's history, which added to the whole experience. Overall, Higher Ground is a fantastic spot for a special occasion or just a treat. It's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of the food, the ambiance, and the service definitely justify the cost. I left feeling satisfied and already planning my next visit!

Love the ricotta hot cakes. To me, the portion was huge, it is better to share the sweet and order another savory selections for yourself. We tried several dishes and everything was good. The food and service were nice, we love the place and we visited this restaurant twice in our short trip. And we would love to dine here again when we visited Melbourne in another time.

Amazing food 😍 Service/ place: we waited around 15 minutes to be seated for breakfast due to the high amount of guests - but absolutely worth the wait. Also we visited with our 8 month old son who where in a stroller and the staff where kind to allow the stroller inside. The acoustic is a bit bad but not a real problem. Food: We ordered the pretzel with avocado and the cale salad - both delicious. And a flat white ☕️ For next time I would save the salad for a lunch visit and order pretzel, sourdough or waffle with salmon. Thank you for a great experience!

It is such a busy venue but I love the vibe nonetheless. Came here without booking and thankfully we got a seat! The food was okay. Tried the barista breakfast coffees as well and I think it is so good! Love the batch brew!

Absolutely spectacular from the moment you are greeted at reception and walked to your table. Our beautiful waitress, very attentive. The food is just scrumptious in every way. The coffee is just perfect. We stayed for over 2 hours and was totally spoilt. Thank you xx
