I’m usually not a fan of eating large breakfasts. I typically opt for a pastry and a coffee in the mornings. My favourite pastry to pair with coffee is the sticky buns at Brio Bakery. They’re deadly, I’m not even a sweets person, but I can for sure put two away in a sitting and that’s saying a lot as they’re quite large.

I prefer casual lunches and like to grab and go. Whenever I’m around the area, I love to grab a banh mi from Van Loc. Their bread is the best, it’s so crisp and flakey. Just make sure that you restrain yourself from chowing down in the car because you’ll never be rid of all the crumbs!

I’m very much biased here as I used to work here, but it’s always such a pleasure to eat at Biera. Chef Christine Sanford has such a unique perspective on food and she holds such high standards for ingredients and doesn’t believe in shortcuts. The grilled Berkshire pork shoulder with candied beets and jus is my all-time favourite dish at Biera. The charcoal flavour of the grilled pork paired with tangy chewy beets is just perfection.
