About Sir Charles

Fitzroy brunch gets an inventive Asian-leaning remix in this airy, warehouse-style space on Johnston Street. The pull here centers on breakfast classics reimagined—notably the signature benedict swapping out muffins for flaky Indian roti and crowning it with panko-crumbed, flash-fried poached eggs and spicy hollandaise. Savory options balance against fried chicken waffles and steak sandwiches, while the front counter showcases low-sweetness specialty slices like layered Russian honey cake and ube mascarpone alongside beans roasted right on site.

  • Signature Roti Benedict: Flash-fried panko-crusted poached eggs over Indian roti with spicy hollandaise.
  • Specialty Cake Counter: Light, low-sweetness slices upfront, including ube mascarpone, pandan, and layered Russian honey cake.
  • On-Site Coffee Roasting: Rich house-roasted coffee brewed inside a bright, spacious warehouse setting.

    A prominent upfront bakery counter presents delicate, low-sweetness cakes including Russian Honey, Ube, and pandan varieties.

    We also tried the Ube and Russian Honey cakes — both delicious and not overly sweet.

  • Open Steak Sandwich

    We also had the open steak sandwich, and it was seasoned so well, super tender beef with a nice smoky flavour, definitely one of the best I’ve had in Melbourne!

  • Halloumi Stack

    The halloumi stack was also great, large size with a generous amount of pesto and the halloumi was prepared well that it didn’t get cold/hard towards the last bite.
