Our First Cafe, Fairfield

Our First Cafe is a small, Korean-influenced brunch spot at 9 Railway Place, Fairfield, run by a friendly couple and highly rated with it. Dogs are welcome outside, and the compact footpath setting facing Railway Place suits a quick stop on a walk.

The dog setup. Dogs go in the outdoor seating facing Railway Place; inside is not open to them. The outdoor footprint is intimate, so there are only a handful of tables. Staff are welcoming and generally happy to bring water.

Good to know. Creative Korean-leaning brunch and lunch, with the First Benedict (built on a potato stack) and Korean fried chicken the standouts, alongside well-regarded coffee and attentive service.

Getting there and parking. It is right by Fairfield Station on the Hurstbridge line, easy on foot or by train. Free street parking runs along Railway Place and the surrounding streets, though it gets busy on weekends.

Nearby with the dogs. It sits beside the Station Street village for a pre or post-brunch stroll, with Fairfield Park and the Fairfield Park Boathouse a short walk on toward the Yarra River trails.

When to go. Midweek is the quiet pick; on weekends the few outdoor tables go fast, so arrive early if you want a seat with the dog.
