Purple Peanuts
Japanese
Generosity, flavour, efficiency and smiles are the foundations of this small eatery, and city workers queue out the door for their share come lunchtime. The Western-fusion menu offers plenty of crowd-pleasers, such as the gammodoki prawn burger: fat, juicy prawns and a tofu-vegetable pattie sandwiched in fluffy Turkish pide and smothered with your choice of house sauce (sesame, chilli or teriyaki). Real miso soup (no packets here), optional brown rice and satisfying salads will please the health conscious, who may struggle to walk past counter goodies such as gooey green-tea brownies and tangy yuzu cheesecake.
