Overview
The Fitz Café & Rooftop is a quintessential Fitzroy institution that captures the eclectic, creative spirit of Melbourne’s inner north. Situated along buzzing Brunswick Street, this long-standing venue has evolved from a humble café into a two-level social hub known for its reliable food, friendly service, and inviting rooftop terrace.
Downstairs, the café delivers a broad all-day menu filled with comforting favourites—think smashed avo, burgers, big breakfasts, and hearty salads. The kitchen leans into generous portions and approachable flavours, making it a hit with locals, brunch-seekers, and visiting tourists alike. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available across the board, ensuring something for everyone.
Upstairs, The Fitz Rooftop offers a more bar-focused atmosphere with a casual drinks list, share plates, and leafy surrounds that make the most of Fitzroy’s sunny afternoons and warm evenings. It’s a great spot for after-work drinks, low-key catchups, or just relaxing with a cocktail and city views.
With its blend of accessibility, flexibility, and vintage-Fitzroy charm, The Fitz remains one of those venues that’s just as suited to a morning coffee and eggs as it is to rooftop drinks and weekend lounging. It’s unpretentious, friendly, and always in step with the neighbourhood’s creative, bohemian energy.
