London Quay; lunch $12-24, dinner $20-34; 7.30am-10.30pm; )
A
perennially popular spot for its quayside location, dependable food and Havana coffee.
The likes of salami sandwiches and sweets are in the cabinet, while a good antipasto plat-

mosphere, craft beer and occasional live gigs make this a good evening hang-out.
