About Us
Two Experiences, One Were Street Address
Community cafe by day, Indian restaurant by night — Monty is Montmorency's welcoming local spot.
Our Story
A Neighbourhood Cafe with Heart
Monty Cafe & Restaurant sits in the heart of Were Street, Montmorency — a place where locals gather for their morning coffee, friends meet over brunch, and families come together for a memorable Indian dinner.
By day, we're a classic Melbourne neighbourhood cafe: all-day breakfast, fresh bagels, gourmet sandwiches and quality barista-made coffee. By night, the kitchen transforms into Raj Indian Restaurant, serving comforting curries, aromatic spices and traditional favourites.
Two Experiences Under One Roof
- By Day: Breakfast, brunch, lunch, fresh bagels and barista coffee — 7 days a week.
- By Night: Authentic Indian dinner — curries, vegetarian dishes and family-style dining, Thursday to Sunday.
Evenings at Monty
Raj Indian Restaurant
When the cafe closes for the afternoon, the spices come out. Raj Indian Restaurant takes over the dining room with comforting, freshly prepared Indian meals — the kind that turn a weeknight into an occasion.
From rich, slow-cooked curries to beautifully spiced vegetarian dishes, every meal is made to be shared with family and friends. Dinner is served Thursday to Sunday, 5 PM to 9 PM.
