Food at The Green Grocer

The Green Grocer is Australia's first fully licensed organic cafe. Our bustling kitchen under the direction of head chef Joe Trinchi is truly the heart of the Green Grocer. It is here that simple innovative cooking and fresh organic produce combine to provide a tantalizing menu of modern, innovative cuisine.

Enjoy the intimate surrounds of our food store café, relax in the kitchen garden courtyard or dine upstairs in our well stocked wine room with sunny balcony tables. The kitchen is open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week from 9am to 4pm.

Reviews

good food guide - 2007

Voted one of Melbourne's top five breakfast venues.

"You can make a pig of yourself with The Green Grocer's herb and fetta pancake piled with everything from bacon to pesto and still feel virtuous because it all comes with a biodynamic, free range or organic label."

 
foodies - 2007

"This seriously good store brings together a great mix of organic foods under one roof. Seasonality plays a major role in what's available, but whatever the time of year the fresh ingredients displayed in hessian lined timber boxes always look their best. A refrigerated setions contains organic milk, cheeses, yoghurts, cream, pre-sliced bacon and ham while the freezer stocks ice cream and ready-cooked meals like Thai fish cakes. The grocery section has all the essentials from spice mixtures and legumes to organic chocolate.
If time allows stop for a coffee and one of their tempting cakes."

 
cheap eats - 2006

"It's no surprise that this place has become a North Fitzroy breakfast institution. Tucked within the organic store is a cosy bolthole, where porridge comes loaded with nuts and sultanas, boston beans are laced with ginger and fetta and the 'Big Breakfast' of bacon and eggs is piled onto a huge herb and fetta pancake. But lunch is just as good: wholesome house baked pies and pasties are mainstays on a menu that might include delicate agedashi dofu, hot and sour chicken soup or a hearty vegie curry. When you're done take a lemon and myrtle biscotti for the waddle home."
