Plan your visitAbout The Re-Up
This sunlit Moonee Ponds cafe trades standard brunch routines for crispy potato hash bases and diligent coeliac safety. Neighbourhood regulars drop in for poached eggs on house-made hashbrowns topped with slow-cooked pulled pork, alongside chili chorizo scramble folded with manchego on sourdough. The kitchen takes allergy precautions seriously, maintaining separate toasters and fryers to protect gluten-sensitive orders. Tables stay busy with mimosas, smooth espresso, and fluffy buttermilk pancakes stacked with poached pears.
- Potato Hash Benedicts: Signature benedicts swap standard English muffins for crisp house-made potato hash layered with pulled pork or salmon.
- Dedicated Gluten-Free Prep: The kitchen runs dedicated fryers and toasters to prevent cross-contamination for coeliac guests.
- Family-Friendly Setup: Spacious seating and coloring supplies keep morning visits easy for families with young children.

Signature Benedicts on Crispy Potato Hash
The kitchen elevates classic brunch by serving its signature benedicts atop house-made, crunchy potato hash rather than traditional toasted bread.
And my fave was the Re Up Benny - perfectly poached eggs and melt in your mouth pork belly on the crunchiest potato hash!!

Chilli Chorizo Scramble
The scrambled eggs were fresh, spicy, great herb dill flavour and the chorizo on top was something out of a South American restaurant…sky high quality.
