Copper & Spoon

55 Fletcher Street, Essendon VIC 3040
$$ Australian

We are a family owned business, first opening our doors in September 2017 and have been blessed to have landed here in the arms of such a beautiful and supportive community.
Owner and Head Chef Sang Tran, originally from Toronto, Canada began his curiosity of food very early on having trained in Lyon, France and Sicily, Italy. The journey continued across the globe before landing in Melbourne and setting up several restaurants across various locations.​
It was a dream come true finding this little gem in the suburb of Essendon. The most perfect opportunity came about to put his creativity to the plate and allow others to experience flavours from around the globe.
We have been so blessed to have met so many wonderful and loyal customers that are now part of the Copper & Spoon family.
The menu is carefully put together by Chef Sang Tran, highlighting seasonal ingredients in simple, handcrafted dishes served straight from our kitchen. Ingredients are locally sourced to support small businesses and farmers to bring together an experience of flavours for you to enjoy at the table.

Our mission is to provide our customers with a warm experience, from our home to yours. We source local sustainable ingredients to support small businesses within Victoria.

With much love and care we, graciously thank you all our suppliers that we work with on a daily basis where we continue to grow and evolve. As we constantly change with the season, we hope you will love what we serve as much as us!​

Love Copper & Spoon. The service is always friendly, the food delicious and beautifully presented. Good outdoor seating except for the passing traffic, indoors is roomy and attractive. Staff are delightful.

Loved everything! Ambience didn’t get a perfect score only because it was super noisy that day but it’s not something you can help.

My breakfast (pancakes) was delicious however my friend who ordered the bacon and eggs was very disappointed and couldn’t eat it. The eggs were rubbery and the bacon was dry.

Nice staff and timely service. However, we had not seen our niece and her husband from NZ for several years. After the first hour, our conversation was constantly disturbed by the staff banging dishes and cleaning up the area around us. Very unprofessional when you think about it. If you close as early as 3pm, leave your customers in peace until then and clean up once you close your doors. A lady did give us a box of pastries as we left which was a nice gesture and appreciated.

While we were waiting for our table, there was an altercation between 2 people, one obviously a boss and the other a waitress. We felt uncomfortable hearing and seeing this action.
