If you're serious about coffee, this bean barn - a short hop
southeast of the city centre - is for you. Food is almost secondary here: the hipster,
cardigan-wearing customers are too busy discussing the coffee specials board to eat. But
if you are hungry, Bar 9 does a mean bacon-and-eggs, vanilla bircher muesli and creamy
mushrooms on toast.

Hidden in the suburban Parkside backstreets is this atmospheric old bluestone pub
(1886), serving a winning combo of crafty beers and huge schnitzels. The 'Liar's Bar'
theme (focusing on the misdemeanours of Clinton, Skase, Bond et al) is a bit '90s, but
it's what's on your plate/in your glass that counts.
