Contentious Character

“The Contentious Character – great atmosphere and delicious breakfast My husband and I had breakfast here and really loved the atmosphere this place offers, relaxed, welcoming, and full of character. We visited during the quieter season, which made it easy to chat and enjoy the space without feeling rushed. The food was very good. I had the chilli scramble, which was noticeably spicier than other chilli scrambles I’ve had, not a bad thing at all, and something I personally enjoyed. My partner ordered the Belgian waffle and said it was one of the best waffles he’s ever had. We also had iced mochas, which were great, although there was no cold brew coffee available. It’s also worth noting they offer wine tasting, which adds something a little different and interesting to the experience. Staff were polite and lovely throughout our visit, and there is both indoor and outdoor seating available. Overall, a really enjoyable breakfast spot that we’d happily return to.”

“Dined yesterday at the new location in Dairy Road. Having been to the wamboin location in the past it was hard to compare the two! Such a different vibe but a fantastic one that compliments the brand as well. The entrees were great, the main was great and the full Monty wine tasting was excellent. Staff food and atmosphere all great. Recommend 🙏”

“Had a lovely family lunch here. The kids enjoyed exploring out the front amongst the gardens. The pork loin wrapped in prosciutto was delicious as was the fig and wine. The staff were friendly and the views over the vineyard were spectacular.”

“Great breakfast spot with excellent ambience I recently visited Contentious Character, an urban winery located in Fyshwick's Dairy Road Precinct. The breakfast was good and satisfying - definitely worth trying if you're in the area. However, I'd recommend skipping the long black as it's quite light for my taste. The outdoor ambience is fantastic - perfect for enjoying a meal while taking in the surroundings. One of the best things about this place is how easy parking is, with plenty of spaces available right outside. If you're looking for a pleasant spot with good food and easy access, this place is definitely worth checking out - just maybe choose a different coffee option!”

“While the location is quite lovely and the ambience equally nice, we didn't entirely love the experience. The starters didn't come out until we reminded the staff and while the outdoor area had a nice fountain, the toppled bricks/tiles we asked to be moved as they were somewhat dangerous remained. We did ask twice but I guess they were too busy. The food had good flavours but stingy on the size. The salad had 3 small pieces of bocconcini and there were 5 maybe 6 gnocchi on the entire plate (of a main) and while we don't expect some massive feast for the price...the 'sourdough' bread in the picture was $12. I'm not sure it was worth it for 4 small pieces of bread.”
