Fodor's Expert Review L'Espresso

This low-lighted local institution serves modern Italian classics for breakfast and lunch daily, with specials like linguini alla Bolognese; or a risotto with beets, walnuts, and goat cheese. The corn fritters with salmon are a great way to start the day, as is the classic Aussie breakfast dish of smashed avocado with feta cheese and poached eggs. This was a popular record shop back in the 1970s, and decades later you can still buy blues, jazz, and interesting contemporary music here.
