BEST FOR A City Bowl breakfast or lunch. FOOD The breakfast menu is divided into four. ‘Grains’ is a selection of cereal, pancakes and porridges. I recommend the honeycomb, cashew butter and fruit compote combo. The egg section comprises scrambled and cooked full breakfasts. If you love mushrooms, try the double mushroom butter scramble. The ploughman’s cheese, fruit and charcuterie boards are perfect for sharing. The menu ends with a selection of scones and the signature rum banana bread. Try the Niçoise, smoked trout or burrata and braised leek versions, for lunch. For something more substantial, there’s oxtail ragu pasta or the cavolo Nero black rice. For meat lovers: Chalmar beef fillet or chargrilled chicken. Finish off with gelato or cheesecake. DRINKS There are single-roast coffees, single-estate teas, fresh citrus juices, chai and hot chocolate. SERVICE Attentive and speedy. AMBIENCE The open-plan kitchen is neat and surprisingly calm. The outside seating area looks out onto Bree Street. (ZN)
