About Hurricane Handsome

Hurricane Handsome delivers a serious feed in Port Melbourne, swapping sleepy cafe standards for massive plates and bold kitchen moves. Morning regulars lean into well-pulled espresso and counter salmon bagels, but the real draw is the kitchen’s heavy rotation of specials—think garlic prawns, chilli eggs, and tender slow-cooked lamb paired with generous portions. Tables spread across both the dining room and the Bay Street footpath, giving weekend catch-ups and family breakfasts breathing room over plates of chorizo with scallops and hefty Wagyu burgers.

  • Rotating blackboard specials: Weekly rotations skip predictable brunch fare for adventurous options like garlic prawns, paella, and scallops with chorizo.
  • Generous feeds: Hefty plates showcase rich proteins, from slow-cooked lamb and brisket to generously stacked burgers.
  • Roomy indoor and outdoor tables: Spacious indoor dining and sunny footpath tables offer ample space for pushchairs, dogs, and relaxed group catch-ups.

  • Accommodating Group & Family Hospitality

    Welcoming staff proactively accommodate dining groups with extra tables, split bills, and attentive table service so no one feels rushed.

    An extra table was offered to add to our table so we didn't feel squished when eating, we were there for quite a while, were tended to the whole time but never felt rushed to leave.
