Crowded House

The name's not wrong - even on a quiet weekday arvo this place is jumping. Luckily it's big enough to keep all comers satisfied,with plenty of tables in a warm,earthy setting. A blackboard announces familiar lunch fare - bagels and panini dominate - but ask for the full list and you'll be rewarded with mouthwatering options from shanklish poached eggs to tempura calamari. The Di Bella roast means business,too,with aromatic hints of macadamia and a balanced,clean flavour that leaves a warm and lasting aftertaste. The bustle might not be for those with sensitive ears,but others should join in the throng.
