PRECINCT

Looking for a new cafe where the food is tasty and little different from the rest? Precinct has the right credentials. One of the Pondarosa Group's new initiatives on Britomart it's open for breakfast and lunch and is aimed at food to go, but there are about ten tables if you'd rather eat in.

Loved the salads (choice of three for $10 or $15 and very tasty) and the sandwiches which had the most interesting fillings I've tried in along time. And we could not resist a lovely rhubarb crumble tart which came with cream and yogurt.

Great coffee and that great sense of style that Brendan Turner brings to everything he does. It's allied with Tyler St Garage, the large casual eatery and bar next door that runs through to Quay St, and the chic Ebisu which is sort of Tokyo meets Surry Hills with great contemporary Japanese food.

My only compaint; the music's too loud to properly conduct business, and after all the cafe is the new office!

17 Tyler St, Britomart T 64 9 300 5275
