Marios Cafe

The verdict

More than 30 years ago, Marios Cafe in Brunswick was established, and the legendary eatery was etched into history. Created by Mario Maccarone and Mario De Pasquale, two Italian-Australian waiters who met working together and formed a partnership that would last decades, Marios serves food all day via old-fashioned, crisp white linen table service.

Marios prides itself on coffee, meals and wine that stand the test of time—and there are no skinny milk or decaf blends here. You want a coffee? It's a pure, Italian full cream kinda place. There was even that time that Jerry Seinfield tried to book a table... but he was told they don't take bookings. No muss, no fuss? This is your kinda cafe.
