Favourite local coffee shops

Really amazing, french pastries, breads, sandwiches and fantastic coffee. This place is a hub of local community activity and includes a great little deli with beautifully curated food items and cooking accessories and ingredients. Make sure you get there early on the weekends if you'd like a table - it's often quite busy on Saturday and Sunday mornings. This gem is only a 5 minute walk from the suite (block and a half away).

This is an excellent hipster coffee shop with great style, amazing muffins and sandwiches, and of course great coffee. This is a bit further from the suite (perhaps a 10-15 minute walk but worth it).

We have been to Savio Volpe so many times and it never disappoints. They serve incredible upscale but home-style Italian food with handmade pasta made from scratch, and they have a massive roasting oven for amazing barbecued meats and dishes. The ambiance is busy, and fun and the decor very modern stylish but comfortable. This place usually books up well in advance but if you show up early (e.g. 5pm) you should be able to get in anyway (they also have a great central bar area and you usually get treats from the staff working the bar if you end up sitting at the bar rather than at a table). Approximately 15 minute walk from the suite.

We eat here ALL the time and it is hands down the best Greek food I've ever had. This is a family run restaurant but with a contemporary feel and really friendly, fun staff. The ambiance is great as it's usually always quite busy. Make a reservation or come a little early on weekends to ensure you can get a table). They have a great little bar at the back that you can dine at which is perfect for anyone travelling/dining solo (the bar tender will be sure to keep you entertained). :-) This is so convenient to the suite - just a block and a half away (5 minute walk),
