St Ali
Contemporary$$
St Ali has largely managed to keep a high cool quotient despite its transformation from hipster hidey-hole to mainstream mainstay. Along with its smooth, house-roasted speciality brews, quirkily named breakfasts do their bit to keep the crowds coming: sweet and crunchy deep-fried corn fritters and house-made kasoundi are the heroes of 'My Mexican Cousin', though cold eggs may be a letdown. The '63 Degree' eggs are a rich mess of truffle oil, cauliflower puree and the salty crisp of prosciutto. Lunch keeps up its end of the bargain - try rainbow trout fillet and Israeli cous cous - and fresh juices will mellow your caffeine buzz.
