Cafe Matto

Cafe Matto on Burgundy Street is a busy Mediterranean restaurant covering breakfast through dinner, and a regular first choice for local dog owners along Heidelberg's main strip.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables along the Burgundy Street footpath, a covered, people-watching kind of spot. Staff are consistently described as happy to bring out a water bowl. Keep dogs settled on a lead, the footpath tables sit close to passing pedestrian traffic.

Good to know. The menu leans Italian-Mediterranean, seafood marinara, salt and pepper calamari, and the Matto Mixed Platter get regular mentions, along with a reliable all-day breakfast including eggs Florentine. Coffee and service are consistently well reviewed.

Getting there. On-street parking on Burgundy Street is limited, check signage. Cartmell Street, behind the shops, has free two-hour parking a short walk away, and Warringal Shopping Centre has paid undercover parking nearby. It is also an easy walk from Heidelberg railway station on the Hurstbridge line.

Nearby with the dogs. Warringal Parklands is a short walk away, with paved trail, water taps and a mix of on and off-leash sections along the Yarra. Banksia Park in Bulleen, a short drive further, adds more walking trail and river access.

A solid pick for a proper sit-down meal with the dog at your feet, not just a quick coffee.
