About Fourth Chapter

Prahran’s High Street brunch rush moves fast, but this airy corner holds its ground with serious plate volume and zero fuss. Behind the dining room, a tucked-away courtyard hides a fountain and resident fish—an easy breather from the sidewalk crowd. Regulars rely on the kitchen for rare dietary wins: towering dairy-free pancakes stacked with coconut labna, right alongside a chilli scram spiked with grilled saganaki. Pull up an outdoor bench with the dog, sip a steady flat white, and watch the morning drift by under the garden greenery.

  • Allergen-Conscious Comfort: Substantial plates built for strict diets, led by dairy-free coconut pancakes and a heat-packed chilli scramble.
  • Courtyard Garden & Fish Pond: A leafy open-air retreat featuring a trickling stone fountain, small fish pond, and plenty of breathing room.
  • Dialed-In Coffee & Drinks: Steamed milk classics, specialty beetroot mochas, and cold shakes turned out fast by an intuitive floor team.
