“cavalier 1.0 in st Leonards makes amazing toasties and has so many varieties. You can’t go wrong with their cheeky Jaffle, which brings back memories of grade 4, bush camping, and Tupperware lunches(thanks mum!).”

“the cafe looks like a copper-filled underground bunker that has been transported into a sunny shopfront. the menu consists of three large plates, three small plates and two sandwiches and salads. the large plates are elaborate, beautiful constructions, such as a creamy, eggless, trifle-topped french toast dish that looks like a fairy garden, inspired by an old english-peasant dessert with custard, chopped banana, whipped cream and biscuits.”

“the high level of care taken with the food has won cavalier a loyal following since it opened in late 2015 – a mix of suits, students and a few pram-pushing parents.”

“this café offers fine-dining-level fare in an unassuming location: tucked in a little back alley just behind the pacific highway. the menu here changes regularly, which keeps the locals coming back, but you can expect to find sweet and savoury dishes like french toast showered with banana custard, biscuits and cream, or beef cheek with celeriac purée, capsicum and dehydrated corn.”
