About No. 19

Ascot Vale mornings revolve around No. 19 for inventive brunch staples backed by dependable Five Senses brews. Locals drop in for breakfast reimagined—swapping plain toast for a crisp Dauphinoise potato stack beneath 24-hour slow-cooked pork and poached eggs. For sweet plates, the kitchen presses croissants into flaky croffles topped with citrus sorbet and cheesecake cream. Outside tables catch the sun along Union Road, welcoming dogs and strollers while baristas pull silky flat whites without missing a beat.

  • Dauphinoise Benedict: Eggs Benedict built over crisp Dauphinoise potatoes with 24-hour slow-cooked pork, poached eggs, and spiced kale.
  • The Croffle: Flaky waffled croissant paired with tart citrus sorbet, cheesecake cream, and caramel.

Insider advice on seating, dish richness, and peak weekend timing at No. 19

  • Share the Dauphinoise Benedict

    The rich Dauphinoise Benedict with slow-cooked pork and crispy potato is generous and decadent—consider pairing it with a lighter option or ordering it to share with your table.

  • Choose outdoor tables for a relaxed vibe

    Indoor dining can become lively and noisy on weekends with families, but you can opt for outdoor seating under umbrellas if you prefer a calmer vibe or are dining with your dog.

  • Navigate peak brunch timing smoothly

    Weekend peak hours draw crowds and takeaway queues, yet staff move efficiently and even split shared plates evenly in the kitchen when requested.
