Peggy Jean at Riverside Green

You're pulling up to Riverside Green on a Saturday morning, and there's already a queue snaking around the deck. Peggy Jean is that rare breed—a place that takes its flat whites and smashed avocado seriously without the pretension that usually comes with it. The Thames backdrop doesn't hurt, especially when you're nursing a cortado and watching the rowers glide past. The menu's got that effortless Aussie confidence: properly sourced ingredients, clever combinations, and portions that don't insult your intelligence.
