A grand setting for refined brunch

Prior is a refined 130-seat café, mostly housed in a grand, high-ceilinged room filled with warm tones and natural materials. You can settle into a sleek leather banquette along the walls, sit by the central fireplace, perch on a stool at the concrete bar, or enjoy the large outdoor courtyard.

Middle eastern roots, modern style

The space’s understated elegance carries through to the food, crafted by chef Nick Korceba—formerly head chef at Middle Eastern favourite Maha and co-owner of Albert Park’s Greenfields.

Creative dishes with bold flavours

Menu highlights include sticky black rice sweetened with maple syrup and topped with dragon fruit, walnut-almond granola and cottage cheese; salted chocolate crumpets piled with chocolate custard, freeze-dried berries and peanut crumble; and a golden disc of fried cheesy polenta served with wild mushrooms, poached egg and sweet onion purée.

Comfort and crunch

Chilli scrambled eggs arrive on seeded cob loaf. You’ll also find dishes like heirloom tomato salad with goat’s curd, burrata with preserved lemon dressing, and a chicken burger with fiery hot sauce and a side of fries.

Coffee and kombucha to match

Coffee comes from Coburg North roaster Inglewood, and kombucha is courtesy of Two Boys Brew.
