The Quarter

You'll find yourself lingering longer than planned at this Falkner Street favourite, where wooden benches and an easy-going atmosphere make it the kind of place you want to become a regular. The Italian-inspired menu focuses on what they do best – seriously good sharing boards loaded with proper cured meats and cheeses, plus pizzas that actually taste like they should. The deli element means you can grab excellent ingredients to take home, but honestly, you'll probably just end up booking a table instead. Open every day until 11pm, it's become the go-to for everything from casual dates to post-work catch-ups with mates who appreciate good food without the fuss.
