Echuca's all-day café-wine bar with a stunning cathedral interior and that chilli scrambled eggs you'll think about for days

A large, visually striking café with cathedral ceilings, giant windows, abundant plants, and wine displays that give it the feel of an open-plan European wine bar. Lively and buzzy on busy mornings; genuinely beautiful to sit inside with great natural light.

In-house sparkling water machine. Chalkboard specials board updated regularly. All-day menu allowing breakfast ordering well into lunch service. Open early 7am on most days, staying open into the evening Fri. Sat. Wine and beverages available alongside café food.

Modern Australian café-wine bar sensibility. No specific cultural cuisine focus. the menu draws on broadly contemporary Australian breakfast and lunch traditions.

Pricing is in line with good Melbourne cafés, which can feel steep for a regional setting. Weekend and public holiday surcharges (up to 30%) apply and have drawn criticism. On balance, quality regulars tend to find it worth it.
