Ada's Cafe & Bistro

You'll find Ada's tucked away on Clarence Drive in the quiet part of the West End, the kind of spot that feels like it's been there forever even if it hasn't. It's unpretentious in the best way — cream and grey interiors, decent coffee, and a menu that knows what it's doing. The kind of place where you can rock up solo with a book, or squeeze round a table with mates for a long lunch. The bistro offerings go beyond your standard cafe fare, and people seem genuinely chuffed with it based on the ratings. It's the neighbourhood staple that makes you glad you wandered down that particular street.
