Modern Australian$$

Like a roaring mouse, this little corner shop makes lavish offerings. Lunch might be a softly spiced, slow-cooked lamb stew with chunky carrots and a cloud of turmeric-yellow mashed potato, or a comforting chicken pot pie - large, and full of mushrooms and spinach. And the Girl is versatile: it's licensed, there's a toy corner, and she does tapas-style weekend dinners (which might feature marinated king prawns wrapped in prosciutto, or pan-fried spinach with chickpeas). Breakfast brandishes the goods: baked beans, mushroom omelette. How about elevenses? Scones, with jam and cream.
