ACT II · MIDDAY

What the kitchen serves all day

01 · Restaurant/café

Seasonal breakfast

$16

Eggs cooked to order, toast from the morning’s bread and whatever sides the season brings, served from the moment the doors open. Eat it at the counter or carry it out to the courtyard while the sun is still low.

  • Eggs cooked to order
  • Toast from the morning bake
  • Seasonal sides that change weekly

Good to know: the sides follow the season, so the plate shifts from week to week.

Best for: an unhurried start on the courtyard before the day warms up.

02 · Restaurant/café

House lunch plate

$19

One plate a day, written each morning around what came through the kitchen door: something roasted, something fresh, a grain or bread and a sauce made in house. When it sells out, it is gone until tomorrow.

  • One changing plate each day
  • Built around the morning’s produce
  • Ask at the counter what is on it today

Good to know: the plate changes daily, so ask about ingredients before you order.

Best for: a proper midday meal without settling in for the afternoon.

03 · Restaurant/café

Soup and bread

$12

A deep bowl of the day’s soup with a thick slice of house bread and butter. The pot goes on before the doors open and simmers through lunch, so the last bowl tastes as good as the first.

  • Soup of the day
  • Thick slice of house bread with butter
  • Ask what the stock is made with

Good to know: there is one soup at a time, and on cold days it can run out early.

Best for: a warm, quick lunch at the counter.

04 · Restaurant/café

Pastry selection

from $5

Butter croissants, morning buns and a rotating seasonal tart from Nora’s bench, baked before sunrise and set out as the doors open. Boxes for the office or a gathering can be arranged by enquiry.

  • Croissants laminated and baked each morning
  • One seasonal tart that changes often
  • Boxes arranged ahead by enquiry

Good to know: the case is fullest early, and larger boxes are agreed by email first.

Best for: a croissant with your first coffee, or a box for the table at work.

05 · Restaurant/café

Coffee service

from $4

Espresso drinks, pour-over and tea, made to order at the bar from opening until close. Milk is steamed and poured by hand, and whoever is on the bar will happily talk you through the beans of the week.

  • Espresso, flat white and latte
  • Pour-over by the cup
  • Loose-leaf tea for non-coffee drinkers

Good to know: prices start at $4 and rise with size and milk.

Best for: the morning cup, the afternoon lift, or one last cup before closing.

Ask about Coffee service
Scrambled eggs, pan-fried potatoes and toast on a white plate with a slice of orange. A croissant on a white plate beside a latte with a leaf pattern on a wooden table. Wine glasses on a dark counter in front of lit shelves of plates.

  1. Look over the day’s menu
  2. Ask about a dish or a date
  3. Hear back from the café directly

ACT IV · NIGHT

What regulars tell us

We took breakfast out to the courtyard: eggs just right, toast from bread baked that morning, and nobody rushed us off the table.

I come for the lunch plate most weeks. When I asked what was in the sauce, Gabriel came out of the kitchen to explain the whole plate.
