MELBOURNE | The Tamper Trap is a popular Brighton cafe offering a diverse menu full of bunch favourites done simply and well, along with several more unique options. Loving a good brunch, we recently accepted an invite to have a taste of what the Tamper Trap team has to offer.
Stepping into the cafe you enter a light filled space – modern and minimalist with plenty of seating. Owners Kosta Koukouravas and Kai Churchward are veterans of the Melbourne café scene, with extensive experience across other Melbourne cafes such as Temperance Society and Vanilla, and the experience shows at The Tamper Trap.
The breakfast menu is simple and features plenty of breakfast staples with a twist. We sampled the House Smoked Salmon Fillet with Spicy Herb Ricotta Fritter Donuts. It’s light and fresh, with the salmon cooked beautifully on a bed of smashed chill cucumber, corn, pickled fennel and watercress served with tzatziki yogurt. The menu also has favourites like Smashed Avocado, ‘Trapped’ Chilli Scramble and Rhubarb and Ricotta Spiced Hotcakes, which we didn’t try but looked delicious.
The lunch menu contains a nice mix of fresh super food bowls as well as tasty burgers and steak sandwiches. The Smoked Spiced Tofu is served with a hearty salad with roasted sweet potato, red capsicum, chickpeas and tahini tartar sauce and is delicious and fresh. If you work in the area and are after a quick lunch, The Tamper Trap also have a great selection on focaccias to-go.
The coffee is on point and there’s a variety of healthy smoothies, milkshakes and sparkling juices you can select from. The Soul Cleanser smoothie is a must try for the health conscious. Made from coconut water, lemon juice, kale, cucumber, avocado and matcha, it’s a real elixir of health. We also balanced it out with a chocolate milkshake which hit the spot nicely – a perfect pairing with one of the burgers.
It’s easy to see why the cafe has become a hit with locals. The diverse menu of simple dishes done well, a great atmosphere, and friendly service makes The Tamper Tramp a great spot to get your brunch fix.
