Next to the rooftop garden at Burwood Brickworks is the spacious Rombe, where poached eggs come with vadouvan butter and smoked carrot puree, and a bright raw vegetable salad teams with peanut butter hummus. Cakes are startlingly pretty and drinks include the Coco Cloud, made with matcha cream and pomegranate pearls.
