Rustica Canteen

Nice place but seeting not so good. Service friendly and warm. Toasted bread and coffee cannot go past.

Not too long of a line compared to other brunch places. We waited for about 15 mins for a seat. The bread is fresh there and their coffee is delicious. A bit awkward with the seats facing the counter though. Would prefer to have sat at a proper table

The Peppered Brisket Sandwich was exceptional both in flavour and texture. Between the lightly toasted ciabatta was an exceedingly tender, succulent piece of brisket. It was slow cooked to perfection and was bursting with flavour without being overpowered in pepper or smokeyness. Along with a plethora of fresh and pickled greens within and flavoursome smoked cheddar, this made of one of the best renditions of the famous ‘Reuben’ I’ve ever had.
I thoroughly enjoyed having brunch here and their baked goods - sourdough or otherwise. They were absolutely sensational and I’d eat those, again and again, even just by themselves.
It’s no surprise Rustica is almost always sells out of their pastries.

This Hidden gem is in a small lane way, I must say I've been very impressed with Rustica Canteen.
Arrived just before lunch time on a Saturday morning, it was easy to get seated, although I must make mention that where we sat was on one of the side seats facing the kitchen. The waitress was quick to put our orders for coffee in and followed up with suggesting what to order when we couldn't decide on which ones and was not comfortable the whole time.

They bake their breads on site and is on display along with an array of desserts on show. Overall, staff was attentive and offered friendly service, food was amazingly delicious and full of flavour. Looking forward to my next visit.
