A popular spot to meet and hang out in Hawthorn. It has a relaxed and stylish decor with good music, a changing display of contemporary artwork and a pleasant courtyard. Students and staff from Swinburne University can usually be found here. It is also popular with local business people for lunches and after-work drinks. The menu is adventurous but reasonably priced. Focaccia, bruschetta and pita roll-ups are lunchtime favourites. Soup, salads, pasta, stir- fries and curries are also available. Try the vegetarian spring rolls, with sweet chilli dunking sauce or Tunisian marinated chicken salad.
