Chef Phil Wood and Lis Davies, who also run two-hatted Ursula’s in Paddington, are the couple behind Cressida, which is named after their daughter and is fundamentally a nice place to drink coffee and read the paper.

Cushioned seats are upholstered in marigold stripes, water is poured in Maison Balzac glasses and illustrations of a prancing burger decorate the exterior walls. The real-life cheeseburger is a fun time too, featuring a beefy medium-rare patty on a squishy potato bun.

Fresh produce is a cut-above across the board, and raw tuna is brightly plated with sesame oil-glossed soba, avocado, edamame and radishes. The seasonal dinner carte has listed grilled snapper with lemony caper butter, and super tender fillet steak served on a peppy sauce vierge, while it’s hard to go past the congee (rice simmered in chicken stock fragrant with ginger and five-spice, and garnished with shredded chook) at breakfast.

In saying that, the kitchen will also send out the best version of eggs any way you like them with Iggy’s sourdough. Later, enjoy that same crusty sourdough with Charentes-Poitou butter, oysters and champagne in the courtyard, which is what life is all about at the end of the day.

Must order: The Sicilian-style orange cake made famous by Margie Agostini when she ran her own cafe at the site in the 90s.
