Melbourne's Most Famous Little Café
Why locals love it
Pellegrini's is the café that could. The shopfront is small: blink and you might miss it. Yet it's almost always packed with locals, hanging out with the perfect coffee. Nestled lengthwise along an alley off busy Bourke Street, Pellegrini's also provides a full array of food on its traditional menu.
Why you should visit it
Pellegrini's has been a Melbourne institution for decades: it's one of the oldest authentic cafés in the city. Located at the top end of Bourke Street, no other place feels quite as real as Pellegrini's. Be transported back to the era of European immigration and real old-world charm, all in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee.
Special tip
There's only one size of coffee. This is a real coffee shop, not a Starbucks.
