The Ormond Provedore Cafe

The Ormond Provedore does things a bit differently from most Melbourne cafes. You may recognise eggs benedict by name, but this version with poached eggs, slow-cooked pork shoulder and apple cider hollandaise on sourdough will have you re-thinking how delicious it can be. Same goes for their scrambled eggs, which are given the delicious spicy chipotle treatment and served with pickled vegetables, fresh coriander and fried shallots. The Ormond Provedore’s impressive, creative menu rolls into lunchtime, too, with enticing options like a smoked salmon open sandwich with labne, snow pea shoots & citrus dill vinaigrette, or a salad of roquette, crispy pear, toasted walnuts, parmesan and balsamic vinaigrette – not to mention some tasty Turkish pides. Put simply: whenever you head to The Ormond Provedore on North Road and whatever you choose, you can’t go wrong. Note that this cafe is busy most of the time, though, so advance bookings are strongly advised.
