Your new favourite spot.
Belmont’s favourite coffee spot Paddington Cafe continues to bring some quality inner-city cafe culture to their local community in new and exciting ways, now with the arrival of a pink-tinged late-night hangout, Piglet Bar.
Previously running Piglet out of the cafe, Piglet Bar (Paddington 2) is now right next door. With a luxurious interior that riffs off its sister cafe, with tonal, warm and rich in earthy colours and mixed textures with concrete, tiles and a mirrored bar, Piglet is a blessing to more than just the residents of Belmont.
Bathing in warm light and a calm pleasant atmosphere, you’ll quickly feel like a local with owners and hospitality pros Molly Shalders and Tom Beattie welcoming you in with open arms.

During the day, Piglet’s space is over to provide extra seating for Paddington customers, utlising the brand-new commercial kitchen to dish out all the ground-breaking brunch favourites.
Once the sun goes down, from Thursday through to Sunday nights Piglet’s all about fine booze, after-work cocktails, delicious eats and neighbourly hospitality, with comfortable and cozy timber booth seating and the ability to cater to larger groups.
Whether you’re spending the night with best pals or the work crew, treat yourself to Piglet’s modern European-style menu, with friendly entrees like frites with truffle aioli and romesco sauce and tomato medley bruschetta with goats cheese and white anchovies, among other delicious snacky options.
If you’re feeling something more hearty, there’s also a tidy burger menu featuring the likes of a French-style Bisou burger, a Piglet Smash, and a One Step Beyond burger.

There are no surprises that an espresso martini features on the menu, but you can also indulge in the likes of the classics like French martini, Negroni and a Tommy’s Margarita. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can get the margarita with red chilli, otherwise try the Isle Of Dogs, made with Japanese gin, yuzu liqueur, yellow chartreause and lime, or the I’ve Been To Italy with limoncello, white vermouth and prosecco topped with soda. Cocktails range from $18-$20.
A place of community, creativity and old-fashioned customer service, as always they’re supporting local with Geelong-based beers and a small but impressive rotating wine list.
Piglet Bar is located at 134A High Street, Belmont, right next to Paddington Café.
