FilFil Cafe

Gardner Street's the kind of place where you find the best stuff if you're actually paying attention, and FilFil Cafe is exactly the sort of spot that rewards that effort. You'll walk in and immediately get why it's got such a loyal following—it's unpretentious, genuinely welcoming, and the food tastes like someone actually knows what they're doing in the kitchen. The menu leans Middle Eastern, and they're not messing about with fusion nonsense or trying to be clever. What you get is honest, well-executed cooking at prices that won't have you wincing when the bill arrives.
