Why it's worth checking out
Museum Market Cafe sits within the Melbourne Museum on Nicholson Street in Carlton, right by the World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens near the Melbourne CBD. With a large 213 reviews behind its 2.1 rating, it's a well-established spot.
The appeal is a handy place to refuel during a museum visit — a cafe well placed for a coffee, a bite or a break while you explore the fascinating Melbourne Museum, one of the city's most popular cultural attractions. Its location makes it a convenient part of a day out.
Menus, offerings and trading hours change over time and usually follow the museum's hours, and it can get busy at peak times. If you're after something particular or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly before you go.
