Making waves on Fitzroy’s Rose Street, Young Bloods Diner doesn’t stick to old formulas. It’s all about taking risks at this creative dining establishment, and owners (and brothers) Adam and Christian Ferrante have managed to execute their vision perfectly, creating a hugely successful cafe, beer garden and full-service restaurant. With modern furnishings and industrial design elements, Young Bloods Diner’s interior is as futuristic and innovative as the contemporary cuisine on offer. The rooftop bar features a similar design and provides an incredible atmosphere for drinking the diner’s signature rooftop cocktails – the Fitzroy Lemonade, Colonial Fizz, and Cheshire Cat, for example – or knocking back a couple of pints with friends.
Open from Wednesday to Sunday, Young Bloods Diner in Melbourne’s offers ingenious breakfast, brunch and lunch options that are about as far away from standard diner eats as you can get (in a good way).
