Carefully walking the line between cafe and restaurant is what Elster does best. It’s a cafe insofar as you can have a flat white and a granola or chicken sandwich. But it’s a restaurant in that your cereal comes with bruleed pink grapefruit, and your sandwich layers crumbed buttermilk-brined chook and oozy dill tartare between squishy milk bread.
Good to know: A solid booze menu – from bloody Marys to TarraWarra chardonnay – rounds out the offer.
