About Red Relish Cafe

This cheerful Yarra Junction hub turns out hearty cafe fare, house-baked savory pies, and sweet bakery slices that keep locals dropping by. Tables fill quickly for breakfast salads, steak sandwiches, and stacks of fluffy pancakes pooled in caramel sauce. Road-trippers head straight for the pie warmer—crusty Guinness beef, rosemary lamb, and flaky sausage rolls built for eating down by the river. Don't leave without a pot of their signature house relish and a thick slice of passionfruit vanilla slice from the pastry case.

  • House-Made Pies & Slices: Heated and cold display cases pack house-made favorites from rosemary lamb and Guinness beef pies to sausage rolls and bakery slices.
  • Hearty Country Brunches: Generous plates range from steak sandwiches and breakfast salads to towering pancake stacks.
  • Signature Red Relish: Locals pair savory pastry and breakfast staples with the kitchen's proprietary tangy red relish.
