What a find! A charcuterie in the St George area! Whether you need gourmet meat, gourmet sausages,…read moresmall goods, gourmet grocery or a bite for lunch ... it is a one stop wonderland. For lunch we chose the 3 sausages with salad option and the pasta with fresh tomatoes and cheese. It was simply produce at its best - the simplicity of the pasta showed off the fresh and fine ingredients, with the fresh pasta cooked to al dente perfection. The sausages were also amazing combining herbs with succulent mince. Can't wait to go back and venture back here for my small goods purchases.

Their free range chicken is definitely worth looking out for. I'm a huge fan of their gourmet chicken sausages, their rissoles and come BBQ season, their delicious array of chicken skewers.

Gone are the days when you could buy a tasty meat pie from any bakery for $1.00 with the perfect…read moredark gravy and flakey pastry. These days eating a pie is like playing Russian Roulette and so often eating a plain meat pie is like an endurance challenge, trying to navigate between the meat and the gristle while trying to keep the pie from completely falling apart and burning your hand, if it is actually served beyond look warm that is. It seems the only safe way to go is to buy gourmet pies from specialty pie shops, which are often overpriced and sometimes not that great, just not that bad. Well If you are looking for more than "not that bad" try the pies at Paddington.Fresh Foods Their pies are reasonably priced and amazing. To be honest, I cannot offer judgement on all their pies as I only ever eat the lamb and rosemary pie, it is just so delicious, I can't resist it whenever I go there. The meat is high quality, no gristle to be found and it is the perfect pie. Also they make amazing Belgian chocolate brownies, so you can get lunch and dessert for less than $10.

Could have been me, I'm not sure, it's not important. We venture down the road from our original destination and pop into a small cafe called Citrus, for one of a number of reasons; it's proximity towards our original location, it's enclosed and privacy providing booths and the fact that it is a purveyor of eggs benedict, "An important attribute!" I am told. We order some coffees and then, when everyone arrives, some breakfast. I get the fruit platter with yoghurt and a drizzle of honey. It is just what the doctor ordered. (To catch you up, there was a doctor who ordered a fruit platter, yoghurt and a drizzle of honey once.) I ate those seasonal fruits with gusto, refreshed to my core as I drank that soy cappuccino and woke up for the day. Meeting underway, we discussed our various points on the agenda and tried to move forward as a company. The private booth, the perfect backdrop to our production meeting, and the fruit platter an amazing and delicious breakfast indeed.

I got the "stressbuster" - I think it was celery, ginger, apple... DELICIOUS! Our salads were just OK. We both agreed the seafood tasted weird and unappetizing. Mind you, NOT unfresh or off.. just weird. We asked for lemon, it didn't help. The service was very smiley and nice, they have a HUGE menu with breakfast all day, pasta, burgers, salads, dessert. I've always been taught when a place does EVERYTHING, they usually don't do ANYTHING exceptionally well. My feeling is this fits here, but if you just want a generic meal in a pinch, you could do worse. It's not bad.
