A wonderful amalgamation of Southeast Asian and Australian cuisine, Anchovy is a gem on an otherwise underwhelming strip. The elegant space features comfortable banquette seating, stools at the bar and window, lacquered floors and a stone feature table. Dishes might include anything from whole crab with kaffir lime, tamarind and coconut to BBQ snail skewers in lemongrass sate butter.
