The European
This cafe attracts the beautiful people. Bursting with a mixed demographic - families with littlies, lots of cool, young things with interesting hairdos and laid-back thirtysomethings. The European Cafe is fairly small - two main rooms split by an arch, white walls with dark wood trim, full glass frontage to watch the people on The Parade, a big pizza oven giving off welcoming aromas and Sistine Chapel-type prints along the walls. Antipasto is a good shared entree with a nice selection of cold meats, pickled vegetables, olives, delicious pastry concoctions and whole mushrooms. Mains include penne al pollo with bacon, mushrooms, chicken and tomatoes in a cream sauce and pollo con verdura with panfried chicken breasts and hearty vegetables drizzled in pesto.

Good old fashioned family service. The meals are hearty, authentic and delicious! Its cosy, crowded and noisy (I've found myself almost shouting across the table when I've gone there), so its not the choice for a quiet romantic evening, but great if you just want to enjoy good food and festive atmosphere. You can tell they have a loyal following, and its a fun place.
Very busy and very noisy!!! However, you cannot look past this place for real authentic food and a good atmosphere. It's a good place to start a night out with a hearty meal and some good wines. The staff are attentive and know the menu well. It's a bit difficult to find but otherwise great!
