Why it's worth checking out
Trend Cafe and Restaurant sits on Coventry Street in Southbank, the riverside precinct just across the Yarra from the Melbourne CBD and home to the city's great arts institutions. A well-regarded cafe and restaurant, it's built a strong following in a busy, central area popular with workers, residents and visitors alike.
The appeal is that combination of quality food and a convenient Southbank location, ideal for a coffee, a casual meal or a relaxed catch-up near the river and the arts precinct. In a busy part of the city, a consistently well-rated spot stands out, and the loyal following speaks to a place getting the fundamentals right.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly delighting its customers. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular Southbank spot gets busy at peak times, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a coffee or a casual meal near the river, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated.
