A Melville staple with a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere that draws artists, academics, and neighbourhood regulars. The menu spans hearty breakfasts, wood-fired pizzas, and eclectic mains that change seasonally. The outdoor courtyard is one of the nicest spots in the suburb for a lazy afternoon meal, though service can be slow during peak hours.
