Visiting from Canada we found the staff are warm and friendly & the food was delicious. We went back several times during our time in Australia & I find myself ordering them via a food delivery service. Can get busy and noisy but it’s a cafe!

Booked an outside table for the impromptu Robbie Williams gig at Federation Square. Great customer service, good seating and a terrific meal. Nightmare trying to get into the venue due to only one entry point for the concert, but this was not the fault of the restaurant staff in anyway, just poor planning by those arranging the concert. We will definitely be back.
