I can handle the $5 price tag however because the pies are just filling enough to leave room for the more affordable desserts ($3 for lamingtons and vanilla slice). L,

Rent must be high I'm guessing! The only bad thing is the outrageous prices- no one in their right mind back in Oz would try and sell a pie for $5…

I have to hit this place those Lamingtons seem like just the thing my readers would like. $3 seems really good too these days. Damn, I am being a real slacker.

I love Australia - lived there for a little while - but traditional Aussie food is nothing to write home about. It's basicaly a twist on english food ... and British food is bloody awful. Give me some find Italian/Thai/French/Vietnamese cooking over Aussie food anyday. The Intellecutal eater NYCFG, I’m not sure what your hang up is about Aussie food.

I had a beef pie, a salad and a side of potato salad and I was feelin' very happy. My friends had the Thai Chook and the Veggie Pies and were just as happy. The Lamington was a bit on the dry side, but the coffee latte that I washed it down with was very strong. Don't expect service, but do expect a good meal, friendly staff and the feel like you're in someone else's house. Get your own utensils, sit down and stuff your face.
