Woodfired Bakery’s gotthard Bauer.
THE buzz cafe-meets-restaurantmeets-bakery in a smart heritage refurb with an industrial vibe. there’s a chef’s table for 14 and a bakery counter where locals line up for their morning crust.
THE menu home-grown, foraged and micro-boutique produce. practically everything is made from scratch, including the butter.
THE drinks think new World and old World side-by-side that celebrate great wine-making tradition. Vintages from small vineyards, and biodynamic and organic where possible.
Mus eat the menu changes daily, so holler into the kitchen for the pick, but the bread is hard to pass by.
