Restaurants
Lankan Tucker
Restaurant
Lankan Tucker’s coupled-up owners want to show that Sri Lankan fare is more than just curry and rice. Beyond classic banana leaf thali, you’ll find hoppers with house-made sambal, biryani-loaded burritos and butter chicken pies.
Postmistress
Restaurant
Wood-fired pizza, beetroot gnocchi and a special pasta from the Amalfi Coast.
Cafes
Heaps Good Deli
Cafe
A staff member’s reaction mid-taste test inspired the name of this low-key sandwich spot. Alongside no-nonsense sangas (with pickles or crisps on the side), locals return for its coffee, juice and bits and bobs for the pantry.
John Gorilla
Cafe
This quirky neighbourhood cafe brims with artworks and creative brunches. Go for its crowd-favourite French toast or Sriracha-glazed bacon with potato rosti, alongside hot Dimattina coffee and its house-blend chai. Plus, house-made dog treats for your curious canine.
Lolo & Wren
Cafe
A little heart and soul in the depths of Brunswick West.
