A Local Legend with a Storied Past

Situated on the iconic Fitzroy Street strip in St Kilda, The Banff has been a local staple since 1947. During World War II, the site served as an American army barracks, with The Banff functioning as the galley.

A Cozy Alpine Atmosphere

Today, the café exudes a cozy ski lodge vibe, featuring an open fireplace for the colder months and an inviting outdoor seating area in summer. Owner Vincent Sciglitano, who also runs Jimmi Jamz in Elwood and Brunswick, follows a straightforward philosophy: offer more for less. Locals flock here for the delicious pizzas and all-day happy hour deals.

$6 Pizzas and Everyday Value

Every Monday and Tuesday, pizzas are just $6 all day until midnight. From Wednesday to Friday, the $6 pizza deal runs from noon to 5:30 pm. Even at full price, the pizzas remain affordable and consistently tasty. Popular picks include the pumpkin and goat cheese pizza topped with rocket and onion salad, and the tomato, bocconcini, and parma ham with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Comfort Food That Won’t Break the Bank

The Banff’s pasta dishes are also budget-friendly, featuring plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options. In an era where many are more mindful of their spending, The Banff offers a quicker, cheaper, and more delicious alternative to cooking at home—with the added bonus of affordable beer. A definite win-win.
