From Coffee to Cocktails, Buttermilk & Maple serves the Mercure Brigstowe Hotel and passing patrons an experimental all day brunch menu with a laid back Melbourne café charm. The design varies in pace giving a range of seating options; from cozy booths to large poseur benches, the space acts as a dynamic environment to drink and dine.

A large island bar sits centrally in the space acting as the heart of the restaurant. The bar is clad in light blue timber panels and topped with marble and brass details. Leather bucket stools run around the perimeter of the bar and are reflected in the large poseur tables to the front of the restaurant, within a double height space.

Towards the rear of the restaurant sits more intimate spaces to dine, three softly lit circular booths offering a secluded place to escape. Strewn across the walls runs an eclectic mixture of art and objects reflecting the many moods of Buttermilk & Maple.
