Bringing a little inner-city pizzazz to outer Melbourne suburb, Ascot Vale is Grandpa Joe café, joining the much loved foodie hotspot along Union Road. A light and bright, airy interior is livened by pastel touches, from funky décor to crockery with sandy timber furnishings and white washed bricks adding a hint of country charm to form a warm and inviting atmosphere. Sit back and relax for a moment before the day picks up, savouring the delicate notes of a Little Potion coffee before devouring a plate of decadent vanilla French toast with thick cut brioche, maple drizzle and bacon. Lunchtime visitors may enjoy a selection of rustic sandwiches, perhaps The Reuben with Grandpa’s house pastrami, hunter’s cabbage, cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard and pickles.
