Two Bros on Blyth Is Altona's New All-Day Eatery

For years Altona has sat in the shadow of its southwest bayside neighbour Williamstown. But all that may be set to change with the opening of Two Bros on Blyth, the latest eatery to open in the area from brothers Michael and Ehab Botros. 

The duo launched the Two Bros on Blyth brand last year as a pop-up cafe, and it was so successful they've decided to give it a permanent home just off Altona's Pier Street. The brothers chose the waterside southwestern suburb — which is not necessarily known for its dining options — because they felt locals wanted a piece of Melbourne's cafe culture and nightlife in their local area. "We wanted to open a space where people could have a good time without having to go into the city," says Michael.

By transforming the double-storey space into an all-day eatery with a cafe downstairs and bar and dining room upstairs, the Botros brothers have given Altona the cultural injection that neighbouring Williamstown has been enjoying for a while, most namely with the recent opening of George Calombaris' Hellenic Hotel.

Two Bros on Blyth will open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with the upstairs area converting to a live music venue during the evenings. This might be just the place to enjoy an espresso martini, while browsing the drinks list put together by Pete Giannaris (ex-Gazi and The Press Club). By the way of a food menu, the term 'Australian fusion'  has been thrown around, so expect just about anything.

Two Bros on Blyth is now open at 51 Blyth Street, Altona. It's open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week, and dinner from Wednesday to Sunday. For more info, visit 2bonb.com.au.
