GOOD MANORS

GOOD MANORS is a modern brunch cafe on Manor Lakes Boulevard that sits right next to the new Manor Lakes Dog Park, which makes it the obvious coffee stop before or after a run around.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor and alfresco seating only, not indoors. Keep your dog leashed at the table and mindful of other diners, since the outdoor area gets busy with families. Being next to a dog park, water bowls are commonly out for pets, but confirm at the counter if you can't see one.

Known for. Creative brunch dishes such as pistachio and knafeh French toast and pork belly eggs benedict, plus a family-friendly vibe with highchairs and a kids' play space alongside the outdoor tables.

Getting there. 218 Manor Lakes Blvd, on the corner of Ison Road, Manor Lakes VIC 3024. Street parking is available on Manor Lakes Boulevard, plus a car park shared with the neighbouring park.

Nearby with the dogs. Manor Lakes Dog Park is immediately next door, fenced and set up for a proper off-leash run either side of coffee. Lollipop Creek Parklands nearby has walking trails along the water for an on-leash stroll.

When to go. Weekday mornings before the family lunch crowd arrive are the calmest for an outdoor table. Good for a stop either side of a dog park visit.
