Rudimentary

Three shipping containers have been cleverly grafted together to create a modern, sun-dappled café that's now a key asset to the Footscray foodie scene. Simple dishes get a fancy touch here. Think housemade kimchi added to cheese toasties, pistachio and marscapone on crumpets, while the menu offers plenty of options for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free diners. Out the back, a bountiful kitchen garden provides many of the vegetables, fruits and herbs that go onto your plate.
