Cam’s Kiosk (Cafe & Bar)

Tucked right inside the historic Abbotsford Convent—a stunning, atmospheric backdrop for serious culinary chops. Those who frequent the inner-north dining circuit know to book early for the winter Sunday and Monday $20 pasta nights. Think plates of perfectly al dente casarecce with pork and fennel, or a fiery garlic spaghetti finished with crispy pangrattato. Morning crowds pile in for flawless long blacks and robust Sicilian baked eggs, while evening dates linger under gorgeous overhanging lamps. Expect a deeply cozy, intimate room with effortless sprezzatura. Service can run on relaxed time when the floor is packed, but that just leaves more time to mop up spring onion and green chilli oil with thick sourdough. Save room for the tiramisu—the dining consensus is that it’s absolute top-tier.
