While waffles aren't new to Melbourne's brunch landscape, fans of doughy, punctuated pancakes have been crying out for a dedicated waffle establishment for some time. Finally, there's Horse on Heels – a Fitzroy café that aims to fill that void, providing our sweet and savoury brunch favourites on a base of delicious, fresh waffle.
The café's forefather is The Waffle Club at Queen Vic Market; but here at Horse on Heels, waffles also appear as savoury and healthy menu items. Savoury options include popcorn chicken, and egg and sausage; and for those with dietary requirements, there are healthy vegan, gluten and dairy-free waffles.
Of course, the masterminds behind Horse on Heels have not forgotten to keep traditional sweet selections on the menu. For all-out deliciousness, don’t miss the matcha white chocolate ice cream (waffle) sandwich.
A cleverly designed dining area gives you an opportunity to sit down, savour and waffle on about your new favourite all-day dessert spot. An outdoor area with an open-facing kitchen will keep the magic alive as you watch your favourite combinations being created.
