Contessa Balmain is a local favourite, serving up dishes that take their influence from cool cafe culture in New York and owner Marco Adoncello's Italian background. You can find classic burgers, meatballs and risotto along with the all-day breakfast and excellent coffee. Drop in on Sunday for a late brunch with the family for a warm welcome and lovingly prepared dishes.
Located on Darling Street and open for breakfast and lunch 7 days a week, Contessa offers a vibrant meeting place for locals and visitors alike to get together and enjoy quality food, beautiful coffee and an exceptional service.
Whether you’re looking for something light or in need of a hearty hangover cure, whether your gluten intolerant, vegetarian, or organic obsessed, you are sure to walk away from Contessa with a satisfied smile
Marco’s love of food and passion for cooking are what gives Contessa the human quality it is known for. Come in and explore his classic take on traditional favourites, or simply enjoy a quality coffee made from our Jack and the Bean boutique coffee blends.
For those interested, we serve up the option of organic and gluten-free breads as well as farm fresh free-range eggs. Whatever your taste buds, the Contessa menu is sure to satisfy them.
