Harbour Cafe sits just a short stroll from Marvel Stadium on Harbour Esplanade, crafting a relaxed yet lively spot that blends café culture with brunch favorites and a casual wine bar vibe. Its location on Level 1 near Gate 9 makes it a convenient stop for locals and visitors exploring Docklands, especially during weekend brunches or casual afternoons.

The atmosphere here leans into approachable comfort: open and bright with an easygoing crowd that ranges from nearby workers grabbing a quick coffee or lunch to groups settling in for a leisurely weekend brunch. The combination of a café and wine bar means you can swing by for an early coffee or linger into the evening with a glass of wine, fitting a range of local rhythms.

The menu reflects a unique twist, notably offering Hong Kong roast meat dishes such as roast duck and BBQ pork on rice, introducing a taste profile not commonly found in typical local cafés. These dishes attract those who enjoy bold, savory meals alongside the usual brunch classics. For breakfast, options like Fiona’s Morning Plate provide a heartier start to the day.

Patrons often mention the standout roast duck and pork dishes—the crispy skin paired with flavorful gravies and sauces creates a satisfying contrast that disappears quickly from plates. Service comes across as warm and familiar, with a team that values hospitality and makes an effort to maintain a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere.

Best times to visit are weekday mornings for a quiet coffee break or weekend late mornings to early afternoons if you want to soak up the brunch scene after exploring the waterfront. The adjacent proximity to Marvel Stadium also means event days bring a livelier, buzzier energy, perfect for gathering with friends before or after a match.

Overall, Harbour Cafe offers a grounded, multipurpose space that works well whether you’re after a solid meal with Asian-inspired influences, a casual caffeine fix, or a relaxed spot to enjoy wine in good company. It fits neatly into the evolving Docklands locality, bridging the bustling stadium crowd with the everyday habits of neighborhood regulars.

Had the roast pork roll. The sauce was a delicious gravy with crispy chilli. Gone within seconds.
