Melbourne breakfast: Top Paddock - Richmond

You know a place has got to be good when:
1) there's a line out the door and people are milling around the outside happy to give up their precious weekend mornings to wait until their name is called;
2) your Instagram feed continuously brings up their incredible-looking ricotta hotcakes from the menu;
3) it shows up in every top listing on Urban List

As much as I wanted to try the infamous ricotta hotcakes, I couldn't go past the trout, which had my name all over it! And honestly, no regrets. This place was great! Despite it being a busy Sunday morning the staff were friendly and accomodating, you didn't feel pressured to rush and leave so they could quickly sit another couple into your booth before the seat had a chance to get cool again. The coffee was exactly to order - I have a bit of a BB coffee order - and they use the beans from Five Senses.

I can see why Top Paddock has got its reputation and why friends and strangers will put it high up on the recommendation list when talking Melbourne breakfast spots.

If you haven't already, do put it on the list and be sure to give yourself that little bit of extra time because there is a guarantee you'll have to wait a little while, and enjoy the scrumptious, Instagram-worthy, locally produced meals that Top Paddock has to offer.
