L'aRome cafe in Footscray is a pretty cool Japanese/French fusion spot that you will have to head to a ‘newer’ apartment precinct part of Footscray to find!

This whole river area is growing very quickly, located near the Heavenly Queen Temple, L’aRome is a hidden gem that serves amazing coffee and great foodie treats.

A must-try is the strawberry whipped cream sandwiches and the very tasty katsu chicken sandwiches. Oh, and you’ll also find Croque Monsieur and truffle FRIES, yes, please!

We repeat that the coffee is excellent and you can sit and enjoy it at the sunny outdoor courtyard tables, plonk on the little grassy area, or opt for their even sunnier, cosy interior.

Mamma says it's a nice spot to check out for something and somewhere different.
