An urban garden cafe oasis that has become a Footscray institution - I mean it’s no wonder Mamma and other Westie locals love to visit Rudimentary time and time again. You can easily come several times a year to enjoy the seasonal changes - both on the menu and in the garden.

In high summer, watch the rainbow lorikeets squawk and peck out the seeds from the sunflowers, and in winter, snatch a spot in the sun as you gaze at the bees dancing their way around the hive.

Here, there is plenty of room to move, indoor and expanded outdoor seating, and a bike rack - oh, and it’s dog friendly AND has a kids menu.

This place is always the top of the ‘best eats’ lists in Footscray - with a seasonal menu, onsite veggie garden and heavenly coffee - its definitely one of the westie’s besties!
