Apte

Visiting Apte can be like visiting Disneyland – be prepared to wait,especially at weekends. Once inside this former milkbar though,the attractions are many,including speciality tea and coffee. Big-ticket breakfasts include beautiful poached-to-bursting eggs benedict and banana pikelets that are light and fluffy with melty banana pieces,crunchy sugared pecans and maple syrup. Lunch is pide and salad territory. The spacious all-weather courtyard is an oasis of greenery that provides a soundbreak from busy Heidelberg Road. For parents looking for a peaceful meal,the basket of toys is a welcome sight.
