Foxtrot Charlie, Brunswick

MELBOURNE | Foxtrot Charlie Brunswick is a food and coffee spot on Sydney Road that has been operating without making a big fuss for a few years now. We’ve walked past several times without popping in so thought it was finally time to check it out.

The space is very open, with exposed brick and concrete combining with high ceilings. There’s sparse decoration, with the replica Yugoslavia Airlines jet hanging from the roof drawing the eye.

The menu is a simple affair, with a small selection of all day breakfast and lunch options, freshly squezed juices and an impressive range of coffee styles, using either the house blend or single origin beans that are roasted on site. Quality ingredients with a focus on flavour.

Freshly Pressed Apple Juice ($5.00)

The juice warrnts mention as it’s freshly squezed to order and is proper juice – cloudy and fresh. It seems a simple thing to say but so often places get juices wrong.

Cold Drip Single Origin Coffee ($4.00)

The single origin that available when we visited worked perfectly on the cold drip. Served over ice and super refreshing.

Grain Toast With Poached Egg + Avocado ($9.50 + $4.50)

A range of extras like bacon, avocado, mushrooms, tomatoes, smoked salmon are offered to have with your toast. The grain sourdough is nice and springy and the servings are of a decent size. Simple things done well.

St Joseph’s Day Fritter ($16.50)

The St Joseph’s Day Fritter has been on the menu at Foxtrot Charlie for a while now. This favourite consists of a savoury ricotta fritter with sauteed mushrooms and speck served with a pea puree. A really tasty dish that’s surpriginly lighter than expected. The pea puree works really well with the fritter, while the mushrooms and speck serve to add a nice complexity to the simple base.

Stinging Nettle Open Omelette ($14.00)

This was the highlight of the day, consisting of confit onion, smoked Scarmozza cheese and cured sausage. All of the ingredients combined really well together, and it was almost pizza like rather than omlette like. A very tasty “base” with salty bursts and the unique flavour of nettle throughout. I could eat this again and again.

Living in the area for a while now, I cannot beleive that it took us so long to visit Foxtrot Charlie. The space is great, service friendly and there’s just a nice neighbourhood vibe about the whole venue. The food and drinks are simple and delicous, and we all walked out really happy with our choices. A great spot.
