Uncle & Jak - Fitzroy

I accidentally tripped over a curb and found myself standing in front of the Uncle & Jak restaurant sign. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try.

Worst service ever!!! staff were rude and disinterested and the ambiance was non-existence. very disappointing for a new business surrounded by quality cafés.

The coffee was fantastic and I enjoyed a huge berry muffin to-go. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

These guys really came through for us during brunch! Last Sunday, my friends and I wanted to get together for a meal, but had trouble making a reservation at some of the more popular (and snooty) spots for our group of 8. After being turned away by a well-known place, we discovered Uncle and Jak online. We called and they happily took our reservation. The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, while the staff is friendly and attentive. The food was amazing, with everyone in our group loving their dishes. I highly recommend the fritters and the roasted pumpkin with eggs and salmon. We were thrilled to find this hidden gem in the area and will definitely be returning!
