Equal parts cafe, bistro and burger joint, Vue covers a lot of bases and covers
them well. Footpath tables curl around a funky Miró-meets-Gaudí column out the front,
leading into an airy interior. Menu highlights include a Corona-battered barramundi bur-
ger, a spicy cajun calamari salad, and pan-fried eggs, chorizo, halloumi and ratatouille on
sourdough. A real New Farm fave.
