Mr Tulk provides a casual cafe atmosphere in a beautifully renovated space - within the 19th-century wing of State Library Victoria.

The cafe is a licensed espresso bar, serving a range of hot and cold dishes for breakfast and lunch, along with fresh, tasty snacks.

For breakfast, try the toast, porridge or pastries. Lunch includes baguettes, toasted flatbreads and a rotating list of specials from the kitchen.

The name Mr Tulk pays homage to Augustus Henry Tulk the Library’s first Chief Librarian who helped build the library’s impressive collection.
