Berriko’s – Ormond Melbourne is a Melbourne-owned all-day diner that refuses to be confined by a single cuisine, instead delivering an ambitious menu that spans burgers, kebabs, HSP, waffles, and churros with equal commitment. Established in 2018, this Middle Eastern restaurant Ormond has quickly built a loyal following by treating every dish as worthy of proper execution, whether it’s a loaded waffle or a carefully constructed kathi roll. The venue’s refusal to “pick a lane” is precisely what makes it compelling—everything is made to order from scratch daily using seasonal produce, with house-baked brownies and single-origin coffee rounding out the offering.
The kitchen’s approach is decidedly unpretentious yet meticulous. Every plate arrives at the table built for sitting down and savouring, from slow-laminated pastries to signature items like the Berriko’s Special. The matcha and coffee program suggests serious attention to detail beyond the savoury offerings, while the rotating chef’s picks keep regulars coming back to discover what’s worth ordering this week. This is food designed for actual enjoyment rather than Instagram documentation.
The dine-in experience is the priority here, though delivery is available for those who need it. Berriko’s cultivates the atmosphere of a proper neighbourhood spot where eating what makes you happy is the whole point, welcoming everyone from late-night seekers to breakfast visitors.
Located in Ormond, the restaurant sits within a growing food corridor on the east side of Melbourne, easily accessible and designed for repeat visits. As part of a three-location empire (with outposts in Dandenong and Docklands), Berriko’s brings the same philosophy of quality and accessibility to its neighbourhood.
With hours extending to 2:00 AM most nights and 4:00 AM on Wednesdays, booking ahead is wise during peak times, though walk-ins are welcome. Pricing sits comfortably in the mid-range, making proper, made-to-order food genuinely accessible. Berriko’s – Ormond proves that late-night dining doesn’t mean compromising on quality or care.
