, one of numerous must-try spots within The Leederville Precinct, is the kind of easy venue that invites long lunches and laid back drinks, all paired with a Mediterranean leaning menu that invites sharing. Drink wise, it’s all about spritz and sour here, and while the Bloody Shiraz Gin Spritz, made with Four Pillars Gin, is worthy of a shoutout, our top pick has to be the Yuzu and Peach Spritz. Think of it as an Asian take on the limoncello spritz, with yuzushu, Flux vodka, peach, mint and yuzu soda. We highly recommend pairing with a serve of the wood fired bread and some housemade dips.
