Saint Martins Cafe

Saint Martins is a neighbourhood brunch cafe on Martin Street, the kind of footpath-table spot where you can sit with your dog and watch the street go by. It markets itself as dog-friendly, and the front footpath seating is the place to settle in.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath tables, not inside. Staff are accommodating, but bring your own water bowl. Keep your dog on-leash and clear of the footpath so they are not blocking pedestrians or the service area.

Good to know. Modern Australian brunch and lunch with quality coffee, in a friendly, leafy pocket of Brighton. Open seven days, mornings into mid-afternoon.

Getting there. 116 Martin Street, Brighton. Limited street parking out front and on the surrounding residential streets, so check the signs for time limits. Gardenvale Station is a short walk.

Nearby with the dogs. The Martin Street strip is good for a post-coffee stroll, and Brighton Beach is a short drive for a longer run, subject to the seasonal off-leash rules.
