the ninth ave

Tucked off Mickleham Road, The Ninth Ave is a hidden gem just 5 minutes from Melbourne Airport, making it the perfect stop for a bite before or after a flight. Mamma is lucky to call it her local! Their new summer menu is a must-try, with dishes like the signature Hamhock Benedict—braised ham hock, poached eggs, and a crunchy potato rosti. The Middle Eastern Eggs are another standout, bursting with flavor, while sweet lovers will adore the fluffy ricotta and lemon hotcakes with blueberry compote. Don’t forget to try the Mont Blanc cold brew for a refreshing, coffee hit. Whether inside or on the sunny outdoor terrace, it’s a spot that’s always a treat!
