It's hard to miss the colorful exterior of this coffee roasters on the corner of Liardet street, decorated as it is with murals from local street artist Milarky. This café specializes in coffee that is high quality and sustainable. The interior is funky and laid-back, with graffiti art, vintage furniture, and even a skateboarding bowl. Coffee comes in ceramic cups and is always excellent.
The casual yet stylish setup at this Japanese yakitori grill and cocktail bar is designed to bring people together, and it works. The menu focuses on small plates to share. Quality wines, craft beers, and sake are also available. Located in the heritage-listed White Heart Hotel, the Snug has cozy nooks and crannies plus a sheltered courtyard with a massive gas fire and barbecue. Lunch is served on Friday, but otherwise it's dinner only.
