Gordon Bleu Takeaway Cafe

You'll find Gordon Bleu tucked away on Western Road, away from the Shakespeare theatre crowds and the gift-shop sprawl of Bridge Street. It's unpretentious in the best way—vinyl chairs, laminate tables, the sort of café that hasn't bothered reinventing itself because it doesn't need to. The staff know their regulars by name, and you'll spot builders, pensioners and students all mixing in peacefully. Come for reliable takeaway food that doesn't pretend to be anything fancier than it is, at prices that won't make you wince.
