This place is so hip it hurts, from its in-your-face street-art murals to its junk-shop decor and on-trend slogans. The menu changes regularly, so there's no telling what you'll get, but wholefood, organic and fusion often feature on the small menu. Traditional it isn't. Aim for one of the outside tables if you can.
