Fantastic location. Friendly staff. Great selection but you have to be in quick. Great flavours. Would not hesitate to come back

Husband and I stayed at Emporium Hotel last night for our minimoon/staycation [a beautiful hotel, by the by], and decided to have lunch at Depot in the Emporium complex. The service was slow, considering there were only a few tables occupied, but the waitstaff friendly, if not terribly efficient. I ordered a cocktail [Green Peace] and husband ordered from the reasonably-sized beer list. Our drinks took ages, and no water offered, but it was a lazy day for us so we weren't terribly bothered.
After we got our drinks [maybe 15mins later?], we ordered the Catalan-style flatbread with fetta and pumpkin dip, and a pizza to share - air-dried Wagyu with bocconcini and cherry tomatoes. The flatbread was buttery and flaky, and complemented the chunky dip very well. The pizza was a similar style of flatbread, but covered in herbs and the most delicious dried wagyu ever. It was easy, although not so quick, but I could understand this being a more interesting place to eat on a Friday/Saturday night, when I expect the restaurant to be a little more busy. I would imagine that the staff might be a little bit faster-moving then as well!

Average food with above-average costs and a pleasant atmosphere. I like it, but probably wouldn't recommend it unless I see what they're like for dinner.

Top spot for Breakfst, brunch and lunch, but wasn't too impressed with the dinner menu which is pretty much limited to Tapa's. Have had many breakfasts here and found the service quick, the food fab and the atmosphere is great.
Not for the bargain hunters, but worth it for a special brekky out.
