South of Johnston

Colourful artwork, limed timber floorboards, couches and a log fire add warmth, literally and figuratively, to this blond-brick former medical warehouse. Seating out front caters for dogwalkers and refuelling cyclists, and kerbside planter boxes supply the kitchen with fresh herbs. Inside, there's space for all-comers at the widely spaced tables. SoJo's brunch dishes cover all bases, from wholesome (bircher muesli with fresh fruit) to downright shameless (brioche French toast with caramelised bananas and gingerbread ice-cream). Lunch might be a variation on croque-monsieur, or nise salad made with seared sashimi-grade tuna.
