With lots of cafes in the competitive area of Carlton, Stovetop has got its work cut out for itself.
We love the ambience of Stovetop, it has great lighting and warm colours to whet the appetite.
The Ricotta gnocchi was quite standard and highlighted by the chunky pieces of mushrooms.
The eggs looked attractive but were typically familiar.
Overall, it was a run of the mill experience at Stovetop
Lovely modern and fresh decor makes this place really appealing. The use of black and timber throughout, along with plenty of flowers creates a fresh, optimistic feel. The staff were helpful and efficient and the food really tasty. Serving sizes were decent and coffee smooth and delish! I ate all mine before I thought to take a photo! Would happily recommend.
We went as a group of 10, and first thing I need to say is the waiters need to CHILL OUT! They slammed the glass cups and bottles of water way too hard in front of us all. One of them even broke on a table near us. Besides that, the staff were quite attentive and smiley .
In terms of food, we tired quite a few things and honesty all the food is very average.
nothing exciting about the burger- the bun was dry and the meat had little seasoning. The chips were really crunchy, though
the halloumi eggs, whilst Insta worthy, were served with some bland hommus. Eggs were well cooked though
The calamari wasnt the best quality and was quite a rubbery texture, but good to share it around
the chicken taco was probably my least favourite. The chicken had an unusual taste to it, and wasnt packed with flavours
The chia bowl was awesome, though! Packed with super sweet fruit and a very generous serving.
The menu is filled with a lot of options, and theres a little area at the front if you just want a coffee and sweet to go.
Might be back to try another menu item, but this occasion wasnt that special.

These guys were the best, they took our reservation for a Saturday, very kid friendly and great food.
Food came out quickly, they taste great.
Most of all the waiters were super friendly and very attentive. Good little place we will return again.
I was invited to Stovetop to check our their new space and taste some food! Already buzzing with activity it draws a lot of traffic from nearby Melbourne Uni as well as a few working professionals. They’ve got group tables, communal tables as well as benches facing outward. On some butcher’s paper on the walls you’ll see some special off-menu items so don’t forget to check that out before committing.
I got their Stovetop benny, their version had English muffins instead of your usual sourdough which I could appreciate, benefit being that the texture is softer and was easier to eat. Piled on top was pulled pork shoulder which was soft and succulent with perfectly poached eggs. Around that you had 3 sauces, your cider hollandaise, some salsa verde and a spicy hot sauce, all playing a role in the flavour profile.
For beverage I tried their Golden Gaytime shake, complete with a piece on top! Predictably delicious but it did get pretty sweet in the end, what did I expect? An improvement is to make it thicker, I love a good struggle trying to move it up that straw.
Other feedback from the table was that the truffle hummus with the grilled haloumi was too potent. I tasted it and it was pretty strong. Still a solid dish. Also their berry and watermelon shake, the berries overpowered the watermelon though I’m sure it was delicious regardless.
Staff were great and we hung back a bit to soak in the casual vibes.
We went into Stovetop last weekend and fell in love with the industrial atmosphere and the high ceilings, the space is very open which is something I really like
We ordered the haloumi breakfast and also the pork belly dish from the lunch menu, the haloumi breakfast was a delight, heaps of halloumi with truffle hummus , delicious mushrooms and a poachie on top. We ordered the smoked salmon as a side and was even more impressed that it had been treated and smoked in house. The salmon pieces were like that of sashimi, nice and thick but not too fish
The pork belly was one of the more unique dishes Ive had for breakfast, it would be perfect as a hangover meal. The pork belly was tender with tender crackling and had a delicious curry sauce on top of it with a nice fried rice underneath. This dish was a standout for me and I will be back for it !
Thanks for having us !
