The Foreigner Café Ivanhoe in Victoria

"The interior design contains exposed brickwork, wall art, and medieval lighting leading to an intriguing atmosphere. The lady staff was welcoming and friendly. Our 2 coffee arrived separately, but was not bad. Our eggs on toast was a bit dry. I tried the un-common smoked beef bacon as a side option, it was good."

"Very nice cafe with delicious dishes & coffee! My order is short ribs, it taste good and well done juicy beef ribs. And the meat burger cooked by pulled beef ribs not mince, that’s more nice! Must say, there have the most tasty nuggets & chips in all cafe I went. I dunno how to describe, it’s crispy even the nuggets. My son love it and finish 2 serves! lol From the menu, we believe that the price hasn’t change for few years already. It’s cheap for a brunch nowadays!!"

"Food is nice. Service took a while to be seated. They forgot one meal which was their special for the day (mushrooms on toast) but when it came, it was lovely."

"Just tried the chili scrambled eggs here and WOW – they absolutely made my morning! The perfect kick of spice, so flavourful and comforting. A huge thank you to the lovely staff for their warm smiles and amazing service – you’ve truly made my Melbourne trip unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back!"

"Turmerit Latte is phenomenal. nice environment, friendly service good price. Perfect place to wait lib open. Btw the color taste is cute. definitely try more food next time."

"We reserved online via google which was really fuss free and the table was ready even when we arrived early. The cafe interior looks really good. I think they are pet friendly as there were customers with dogs outdoors. It was quite lively and buzzing. The food took some time to be ready for us. I think we waited for maybe 15-20minutes? There was a little accident as our food fell when it was being served, so we had to wait abit more, but their staff were very apologetic and checked in again to see if we were ok. :) I’d say the food is more suitable for youth onwards or maybe my kids need to be more exposed to brunch food. Haha. But the fruits on toast was actually a fruit bread with butter which my husband said tasted surprisingly good. The Made in Japan ‘smells like sushi’ according to my girl - and I tasted the rice, tofu and chicken and they were a delicious teriyaki flavour. The Morroccan Breakfast was savoury and yummy too. If my husband finishes it, that means it’s good and hinest cos he doesn’t like things that are too fancy! I got the mushroom toast and requested it to be without the white wine. They discouraged me to get it as they said it may not taste as great without the white wine. However, I insisted cos i thought it was a unique dish and no regrets! I just wished there was a little more of the cream sauce to it as the toast was in my opinion slightly burnt and the cream would make it more satisfying. I also got the cappuccino and it was excellent! Overall, i think if you are in the area, you should go and give it a try, especially if u love to cafe hop. Slightly on the pricier side, but an overall good place to have brunch!"

"The Foreigner is a hidden little cafe tucked away from the main drag of Upper Heidelberg Road in Ivanhoe. It's a more smaller cafe compared to others on the strip but this attracts a loyal following from both locals and visitors to the area. Highly recommend"

"Reallllly yummy bashed avo! Also ordered a matcha which was pretty decent too!!!! Would def recommend if you're in the area :)"
