tashas Melrose Arch

tashas Melrose Arch is a café-style restaurant on Melrose Blvd in Melrose North, with a menu that moves from breakfast favourites to substantial café meals. The food has an approachable, polished character, combining familiar comfort dishes with Mediterranean, South African and international influences.

Breakfast is a central part of the offering. The menu includes free-range eggs prepared in several ways, classic combinations with bacon, sausages, mushrooms and tomato, as well as poached eggs with spinach and lemon sauce. There are also more contemporary choices such as hummus on toast with avocado, feta and za’atar, brioche French toast with berries and mascarpone, fruit-based breakfasts, oats and avocado on sourdough. Omelettes, scrambled eggs and dishes such as livers on toast add more savoury options.

Later meals cover a wide range of café staples. Quesadillas are filled with options including grilled chicken, avocado or cheese, while sandwiches and rolls can be served on ciabatta, rye, seeded bread or baguette. The menu also includes chicken wraps, a crumbed chicken schnitzel sandwich, a hotdog with cheese sausages, prego-style chicken or rump, burgers and a steak sandwich with mozzarella and Portuguese-style sauce. The selection gives the restaurant a flexible character, suitable for a light meal, a more filling lunch or a casual catch-up over familiar dishes.

Vegetarian-friendly choices are part of the menu, including avocado, hummus, feta, spinach, rocket and basil pesto combinations. Toasted sandwiches can be ordered with gluten-free bread, making the menu easier to navigate for some diners avoiding wheat, although dietary requirements should still be discussed directly with the venue. Meat-free, egg-based and fruit-led breakfasts provide further choice beyond the more traditional bacon and sausage plates.

The food is presented in a way that balances classic café cooking with more distinctive flavour combinations, from citrus and pistachio to za’atar, red pepper relish and Portuguese-style seasoning. That range makes tashas Melrose Arch a practical option for breakfast, a daytime meal or a relaxed meeting in the Melrose Arch precinct. Its menu-led style is likely to appeal to diners who value choice, familiar formats and a few more modern touches within the same kitchen.
