Excellent food, well-presented and innovatively prepared. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly owner and staff. Portion sizes were perfect and footpath seating option made for an interesting dining experience. Well-worth a wander down Smith Street!

Can you say Beer Battered Barra three times fast?! This restaurant/cafe/bar/function room is where you want to eat, drink, and be merry in Collingwood. The interior is comfy and rustic (I love the Chesterfields!), and the food is delectable. Portions are goodly, so bring your appetite! We've been there for brekky (Eggs Florentine and Big Breakfast) and lunch (Chicken & Artichoke risotto and Beer Battered Barra), and split a Ploughman's Lunch for nibbles with friends. And have taken home a slice of the baked blueberry cheesecake (twice!) for dessert! You will not be disappointed!

Approximate cost: $15-25
