An upmarket burger restaurant in Footscray has had windows smashed and an offensive slogan scrawled on its window.

The 8-Bit burger and shakes restaurant in Droop Street, Footscray, was vandalised over the New Year's Eve weekend.

On Sunday, co-owner Shayne McCallum said he received an Instagram picture of the store which alerted him to the vandalism.

Mr McCallum told 3AW said there was a "hot rod in front of our store and in the background of the window there was a graffiti slogan with F- off hipster scum".
