With a prime position on the corner of Carlton's Lygon street, people-watching in Trotters restaurant's casual enclave is an excellent way to pass a few hours. Window seats provide prime Lygon Street coffee-sipping real estate and the restaurant's decor is made up of farmhouse paraphernalia, giving the place a playfully rustic feel. Classic brekkie and coffee, plus homestyle Italian mains, in a warm, cosy room with timber styling.
Since 1988, Trotters has brought people together to share an abundance of great food. Renowned as one of Lygon Street's original and iconic restaurants, Trotters’ blend of modern Australian and rustic Italian flavours brings family, friends and loved ones together in a warm and welcoming space.
Our chefs personally source local and seasonal produce to create our menu. At sunrise, we serve traditional breakfast delights with a selection of sweet and savoury flavours. From noon till late we welcome you to come dine with a variety of traditional favourites, mixed in with our chef inspired dishes.
“After nearly 30 years in business, the most rewarding thing continues to be the joy of welcoming people into our restaurant, a space that allows them to relax and enjoy. We are now seeing the third generation of our loyal customers passing through.
Dining has evolved to become much more sophisticated. The world of food is intertwined with society, culture, fashion & life. At Trotters we seek to create a unique food experience, that is unlike anything else you’ll find on Lygon Street. We select all our ingredients carefully and pay attention to the finest of details when we combine them into our contemporary inspired dishes.
