1. Nickeldime
The graffiti-covered walls, playful lighting and cushy seats make it look like a hipster place, but the food and drinks are anything but. The menu is a refined version of comfort food, created by Australian executive chef Tim Ashwood, who honed his skills at the Michelin-starred restaurant at Hotel Plaza Athenee in Paris and Vue Du Monde in Australia.
As such, on the menu is golden brown waffles with a side of confit duck and candy bacon; spinach & kale croquettes (for the health conscious); or Croque Madame with spiced béchamel sauce.
There is a large collection of beers—16 craft varieties offered on tap. Taste-wise, it ranges from light and fruity (Stone & Wood Lager, Green Coast Lager, Lervig Orange Velvet) to more complex blends (Pirate Life Mosaic IPA and Black Butte Porter).
