Banff

Story

The Banff has been part of St Kilda’s famous Fitzroy Street since 1942. What is today a trendy apartment building, back in the day 145 Fitzroy Street was used as an army barracks by American & Canadian soldiers in World War II, and what is now known as The Banff restaurant, was then used as a galley to cook their meals in.

The restaurant has changed in name and style many times over the years. It is a particular favourite amongst the locals for its great value, but especially for its warm and homely atmosphere. The interior is reminiscent of an old mountain cabin, which is affirmed in its name, Banff, also being the name of a beautiful little ski town nestled amongst The Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada.

The art-deco style cafe has transformed itself into the lively little pizza place it is today. Although known throughout St.Kilda for its iconic pizza, Banff's brunch is now a little hotspot with the locals, changing its menu seasonally so you are always in for a delicious brekkie!!

Amongst other accolades, Banff is regularly featured in good food guides, and was voted as pick of the best of Melbourne’s Cheap Eats Guide and voted in the Top 10 fireplace cafes in Melbourne in the Herald Sun!
