Bittersweet Symphony

When hunger hits in the Kalbar area, a must stop is Bittersweet Symphony, for hearty eats and sweet treats on Edward Street. Wood panelled walls and floors with hardwood chairs and tables emanate a cottage vibe with country charm, where guests can relax in a quaint café atmosphere. Enjoy sipping a Merlo cappuccino alfresco, while pursuing a Mod Oz menu with everything made in house, utilising local producers and delivering breakfast hits like the Hunter - fried eggs, bacon, pork sausage, garlic mushrooms and tomatoes or the Gatherer - soft poached eggs, French toast, sautéed vegetables and avocado puree, finished with nuts and seeds. Lunchgoers are made happy with specialties like the steak sandwich filled with beetroot, caramelised onion and house aioli, washed down with a unicorn shake.
