Tyler's Milk Bar

Cafe$

Jumbo milkshakes come in old-school metal cups and hefty salad sangers require two hands at this family-run milk bar and cafe. Well-loved card games and books keep little hands busy in the gnome-studded garden as adults tackle French onion toast, a tumble of meaty mushrooms and gooey Maffra cheddar that’s a star of the unpretentious menu. Grown-up Monte Carlo biscuits with raspberry-grappa jam are baked fresh.

Good to know: Staff happily split the giant shakes on request.
