About Oscar Cooper

This Greville Street fixture seamlessly shifts from morning flat whites to evening beers, anchoring Prahran with comforting staples and an unhurried sidewalk buzz. Mornings start early at 7 a.m. with breakfast burritos and eggs Benedict built over crisp potato roesti instead of standard bread. Outdoor tables welcome four-legged companions with water bowls and treats, while afternoon patrons settle into the street-facing bar for happy hour pints. It is an easygoing neighborhood anchor where a quick post-work catch-up turns into another round alongside hearty steak specials.

  • Morning-to-night hours: Opens at 7 a.m. and stretches until 9 p.m., covering daytime caffeine, afternoon cafe work, and evening pints.
  • Potato roesti Benedict: Eggs Benedict swaps traditional bread or buns for a crisp, seasoned potato roesti base.
  • Dog-friendly curbside tables: Dog-friendly sidewalk tables offer shaded outdoor dining where pups are welcomed with treats.

  • After-Work Gathering Hub with Unbeatable Specials

    Guests unwind during late afternoons and evenings with exceptionally fair drink specials, happy hour cocktails, and steak nights.

    I attend this bar almost every afternoon after work, and it just ticks the box. Incredible steaks on a Thursday and well priced, and $9 dollar Stone and Woods.

    Dedicated outdoor street seating offers fresh air, water, and complimentary treats so guests can dine comfortably alongside their pets.

    The outdoor seating area is fantastic, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a coffee or meal in the fresh air. What really stood out was how pet-friendly the café is—our dog was welcomed warmly, and the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout our visit.

  • Distinctive Roesti-Based Breakfast Creations

    Signature breakfast offerings elevate brunch classics by building rich Eggs Benedict atop a crisp potato roesti base.

    Egg benedict on a Potato roesti is special for me, (because most of restaurants that I know use bun or white bread usually)
