A Paddington icon since 1997, Sassafras Canteen is found opposite Paddington Central, offering up a range of wholesome bites to cater to any taste. A popular pick, this Brisbane café is homed by a charming converted cottage, a place to cosy up inside among country stylings while a back courtyard provides a sunny place to dine surrounded by plants crawling over a high wooden back fence. Kick off the day with a Bear Bones Espresso coffee and a pick from a fresh-focused menu like Hope Island’s gluten free maple muesli with coconut yoghurt and fresh fruit or perhaps a shredded confit duck omelette with chilli jam, rocket and an orange duck jus. Visit later to enjoy the likes of slow roasted lamb shank pie with a ragout of bush spices, garden vegetables, mushy peas and a mint dressing.
