Second Sitting is a café and bar on Derby Road in Melbourne, from Claudia and Rory.

A relaxed, unhurried space to eat, drink and stay a little longer than planned. Not fancy. Not trying to be.

The kitchen is led by Rory, who has spent his career cooking in some of the most loved restaurants in the UK, alongside chefs including Marcus Wareing, Angela Hartnett and Jason Atherton. He's taken everything he's learned in those kitchens and left the formality at the door.

Mornings are for proper brunch. Lunch is simple and seasonal, salads, a couple of grilled sandwiches, whatever's good. Thursday to Saturday evenings the kitchen shifts into small plates, meant for sharing and taking your time over. The kind of food that works however you want to eat it.

No large plates section, no three-course menu, no white tablecloths. Just really good food, done well, using produce from Tori and Ben's farm, pastries from Crafted Bakery, and a menu that moves with the seasons.

Alongside the food you'll find a thoughtfully chosen wine list with a strong organic and sustainable focus, draught beers from Attic Brewery in Birmingham, St Martins coffee and specialty drinks.

We're glad you found us.

Claudia and Rory
