Brunswick Street Alimentari

Tourists stop to snap the rustic scene of kitchen accessories, garlic braids and shelves of tinned tomatoes and Argentinian beers. Those who know stay for a simple breakfast (scrambled eggs with feta and spinach) or lunch, starting perhaps with four slightly sweet dolmades with a balancing splodge of house-made labna. A spartan-looking plate of buffalo mozzarella and rocket packs a flavour punch thanks to garlic-rubbed sourdough toast, or try a hearty (and filling) pork and fennel lasagne topped with pesto. Panini and meatball wraps are popular, as is a dark-matter-dense chocolate brownie that will mess with gravity.
