For a little slice of retro Melbourne style, Ararat locals pop into S.E.D.E. Café on Barkly Street. This new café on the block features a hand built counter, bright blue and red alfresco seating and a worn brick feature wall adorned with black and white photos, creating an eclectic ambiance where guests can take their time over coffee and catch up with friends. The aroma of freshly baked muesli banana bread may entice early risers, while lunchgoers are treated to an ever-evolving menu featuring Italian inspired choices such as broccoli and mushroom agnolotti, with sweet basil and garlic sauce. Served on hand made platters, each dish has been lovingly prepared from family recipes such as mushroom and leek tricolour pasta with sweet basil and classic carbonara with crispy bacon and Parmesan.
