With an ever changing menu (they mix it up every 6 months) it’s a great place to revisit time and time again. When we’ve stopped by, we’ve always appreciated that the menu always had options for gluten-free folks, vegetarians, and vegans. They also have plenty of options for meat-eaters (burgers, lamb lollies-a personal favorite, and fish). Just imagine all the Aussie goodness that could be yours at brunch or dinner.
