About Rombe Rooftop

Rombe Rooftop pairs sun-drenched glasshouse dining with sweeping urban farm views high above Burwood Brickworks. Melbourne’s brekkie crowd heads up for elevated daytime plates served in an airy, greenery-draped space that welcomes family dogs outside. Regulars lean toward the sumac-dusted smashed pumpkin stacked with marinated feta and hazelnut crumb on warm Turkish bread, or thick-cured smoked salmon alongside crispy chicken finished with toasted sesame and shallots. Tables fill fast with milestone celebrations, post-grad lunches, and dog-friendly weekend gatherings. Service runs on brisk seating windows, sending out crunch-heavy shoestring fries dusted in house seasoning and slices of zesty lemon tart before the midday buzz clears.

  • Urban Farm Views: A light-filled glasshouse dining room looking out over the rooftop greenery and farm beds of Burwood Brickworks.
  • Refined Daytime Menu: Dishes span sumac smashed pumpkin with hazelnut crumb, thick-cut smoked salmon, and sesame-crusted chicken.
  • Dog-Friendly Rooftop: Heated outdoor terrace welcoming four-legged companions for casual brunches and celebratory gatherings.
  • Seasoned Shoestring Fries: Crispy shoestring fries tossed in a house-blended secret seasoning.

  • Ceremonies Welcoming Family Dogs

    Guests can share special life milestones and weddings alongside their dogs without having to compromise on setting or hospitality.

    Our beloved dog joined our wedding ceremony, which meant so much to us because he is a very important member of our family.

  • Pet-Inclusive Casual Daytime Dining

    An outdoor rooftop terrace equipped with cozy heaters and pet amenities lets guests enjoy social brunches comfortably year-round.

    We loved being able to bring our doggo along for brunch, he seemed to enjoy it just as much as we did, and the pup-cup was a cute bonus.

  • Refined Chef-Led Daytime Plates

    The kitchen elevates daytime cafe standards with refined culinary dishes like soft truffled scramble, crisp savory mains, and house-made specialties.

    The eggs were soft and unctuous and perfectly perfumed with truffle - the mushrooms had been sautéed beautifully and peppered the dish like little jewels

  • House-Made Breads and Distinctive Menus

    Diners enjoy freshly baked house flatbreads and specialty items that stand apart from standard brunch cafe offerings.

    We had the chilli scramble and the mushroom flatbread—both served on freshly made flatbread, which we later found out is made in-house

Sides and house-crafted desserts to complement your rooftop visit

  • Baked Citrus Cheesecake

    Mine was a baked citrus cheesecake which was amazing - the cheese was the hero not a kilo of sugar and it was complimented perfectly by a delicate lemon drizzle which slight bitterness cut through the creamy richness
