Brunch in Melbourne isn’t just about smashed avo – head to Cibi for a Japanese twist. The star? A traditional breakfast plate inspired by the owner’s grandmother’s cooking, which includes grilled salmon, tamagoyaki, pickles, furikake rice and a side of miso soup. The compact menu embraces simplicity and the Japanese mantra of moderation: hara-hachi-bun-me (eat until you’re 80% full). Afterward, explore the store’s curated collection of Japanese homeware, books and pantry staples, or pick up Cibi’s cookbook and their cult-favourite tote. Even Harry Styles stopped by for a browse during the Melbourne leg of his 2023 tour.
