This Melbourne restaurant has received numerous positive reviews, but our experience didn't quite live up to the hype. While the service started off promising, with a short wait for a table and a helpful front of house server, things quickly took a turn for the worse. We waited 45 minutes for our food, only to find that both the lamb and fish dishes were underwhelming and questionable in freshness. After experiencing stomach pains later in the day, we were left disappointed. In contrast, other diners have raved about the Ube waffles, corn fritters, and various egg dishes on the menu. The food has been described as beautiful, delicious, and excellent. While the trendy vibe of the restaurant may not be for everyone, the overall dining experience has left a mixed impression.

Beautiful dishes, friendly staff and great mood in general! Just one of my top 5 brunching places in Melbourne, I have come back a few times since 2018 I really love how to change their menu every year and I was excited to try the dishes they currently offer. If you weren't here and you live in Melbourne, you're really missing good things! Book now better a table and get here ASAP View all feedback.

What Minh D dislikes about Operator 25:
Sad to see how this place didn’t maintain the quality and reputation it used to have. Service wasn’t too bad though waiting staff all seem like they were dreading the day. Food was so mid. The granola came tasted stale, and the pear slices were harder than biting into an apple. The Benedict was less than impressive—beef which was part of the dish tasted like jerky soaked in sauce… Coffee saved the day and was probabl... View all feedback.

We went to the city to try this Asian fusion brunch place that is popular in town They have new menu every few months which could makes you wanna revisit again Thai Pork Omelette (AUD 29). Spicy Mala Baked Eggs (AUD 27.5). Ube Matcha (AUD 10). Strawberry Matcha (AUD 10) The mains were bursting with bold, diverse flavours that really hit the spot, especially the added kick of spice that made each bite even more satisfying As for the drinks, both were deliciously smooth, the rich ube and strawberry paired perfectly with the earthy matcha base Highly recommend this place if you’re after great vibes and flavourful food.
