West 48

West 48, nestled in the heart of Footscray, beckons with its rustic charm and vibrant atmosphere. Within its weathered industrial interior lies a haven for community and good food. Embraced by locals, West 48 offers old-fashioned hospitality and comforting dishes that linger in memory. Their breakfast menu, available all day, tantalises with sweet and savoury options like poached fruit salad with ricotta or avocado, tomato, and feta toast. Come lunchtime, toasted ciabattas steal the show, featuring enticing choices like Cuca sardines or tiger prawns with coriander and aioli.
