AFL star Marcus Bontempelli opens American-style diner inside a corner milk bar
Previous SlideNext Slide Western Bulldogs captain and midfielder Marcus Bontempelli opened Arthur's with partner Neila Brenning. It's the product of many influences, including the diners of Brenning's childhood in Canada and the building's time as a milk bar owned by Arthur and Frida Kakousis, who still live in the neighbourhood and gave their blessing to carry on the name. Exposed brick, brown leather banquettes and cabinetry are mixed with checked upholstery and burnt red tones in the design by Studio Esteta. Aussie brunch staples like avocado toast are threaded through a menu that covers wholesome porridge made with macadamia milk; a big brekkie with cheese kransky; and a deli plate of salmon gravlax, poached egg and latkes (the Jewish potato fritters). Thick buttermilk pancakes with blueberry compote, butter and maple syrup nod to North American diners. Saucy, spicy buffalo chicken sandwiches come on a brioche-like roll and are a Bontempelli favourite. Coffee is by Inglewood, and for kids there's fairy bread, ham and cheese toasties, and a simple napoli pasta.
