Heirloom

A favourite for weekend brunch (although they serve it every day), Heirloom excels in providing beautiful, airy spaces and a mouth-watering menu. Dishes are full of colour and taste, and portions are refreshingly large. Favourites include the signature Heirloom Hash with tofu and the Avocado Benedict, all served with mimosas, of course.

Arbor
Spaghetti and Neatballs at The Arbor (Hanna McLean / Daily Hive)
The little sister of Acorn (and located on the same block), Arbor is cooler, funkier, and slightly cheaper. It still has the artistic flair of Acorn but offers a more relaxed vibe. Go visit to try their Southern Fried Artichoke Sandwich, flatbread pizzas, and Pulled Jackfruit Steamed Buns. Be warned, this place gets busy in the evening.

They also offer excellent desserts, in particular, the Divine Zimt Ganache Torte and the beautifully named Fairy Baklava.
