Overview
Addict Ramen is a unique dual-concept venue that captures the essence of Fitzroy’s ever-evolving food culture. By day, it operates as a modern café, beloved for its specialty coffee and inventive brunch dishes. Come nightfall, it transforms into a ramen bar, dishing up rich Japanese broths, handmade noodles, and umami-packed small plates—all without missing a beat.
The daytime offering stays true to Melbourne’s brunch standards, with bright, seasonal dishes like chilli scrambled eggs, matcha pancakes, and miso mushrooms on toast. The coffee program is strong, featuring blends and single origins from top local roasters, alongside house-made chai, matcha, and cold brew options.
In the evening, the mood shifts—lights dim, chopsticks come out, and the menu pivots to Japanese comfort food with a refined edge. Signature ramen bowls include slow-cooked pork tonkotsu, creamy chicken tori paitan, and vegan mushroom shoyu, each accompanied by carefully layered toppings. There are also gyoza, karaage, and a short drinks list including Japanese beers and sake.
The venue’s design supports this dual identity—clean lines and natural tones in the daytime, cosy warmth and neon accents at night. Whether you’re chasing a flat white and toast at 10am or slurping noodles at 9pm, Addict Ramen offers two compelling reasons to visit—and no wrong time to go.
