Black Olive Gourmet Food

Who knew a spot nestled between suburban shops could feel idyllic? Bird song rings out as alfresco diners fall gratefully on lovely frittatas, quiches, sandwiches and salads made on site. For breakfast try banana waffles with hot passionfruit syrup or Egyptian-style fried eggs with a chilli dukkah kick. Afternoon marvels include plump savoury cheesecakes, eggplant and ricotta lasagne and chunky roasted pumpkin salad. Squeeze in apple and rhubarb crumble cake and take home gourmet cheeses, oils, olives, sauces, breads and luscious meals by chef Madeleine Downy.
