I LOVE to eat in restaurants. But there are some days where all I want for lunch is a toasted sandwich, a chicken schnitzel or a great, big, dirty bowl of chips swimming in an ocean of gravy. Don't deny it...I know you do too. Canteen style food has a special place in my heart and is, frankly, a necessity in my life every now and then.
That's why I was so excited when I discovered The Lunch Room. Family owned and run, The Lunch Room opens at the crack of dawn and is a huge hit with tradies, cab drivers and anyone who is awake to see that time of day. There's plenty of room to sit outside and they make a half-decent coffee too. My weakness is their lamb cutlets, but they also have good toasties, pastas, lasagna and burgers.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing particularly healthy about the food from The Lunch Room, but when you're craving tuckshop style food, it's on the money. Be prepared for the fact that they only accept cash (which in this day and age I always find a bit dodgy, but anyway) and close straight after lunchtime. read more
