Oli & Levi

Oli & Levi is at the bottom of a dead-end lane but come lunch hour this beguiling bolthole is alive with city workers. The tiny cafe beneath yellow awnings puts the packed into compact, with just a communal table for 14 and a benchtop for two inside. Lunch offerings are equally scaled down, with a handful of rolls and sandwiches on offer: perhaps hot duck with fresh slaw, nuoc cham and sweet plum sauce in a white baguette, or lemony poached chicken breast with salad on multigrain. At $1.50, prices for pastries such as apple crumble are also blessedly tiny.
