The Green

A stunning, greenery adorned eatery just off James Street, The Green is part plant store, part cafe and restaurant. But while the plants and rich pink interiors may steal your focus upon entry, the Middle Eastern menu is what will hold it, whether you visit for breakfast, lunch or their new weekend dinners.

In the mornings, say goodbye to poached on toast and instead gorge on breakfast dishes like shakshuka with smoked labne (thick and creamy strained yoghurt), chilli and Turkish bread, Persian eggs spiced up with harissa and labne, or a mezze board loaded with breakfast bites.

The Green’s celebration of Lebanese cuisine comes even more alive in their share-style lunch menu. You and your table can dive into the likes of lamb croquettes with tahini mayo, coal raosted zucchini paired with buffalo curd and slow cooked short rib with carob glaze, paired with house crafted cocktails and mocktails.

Not content with just being your favourite daytime spot, The Green has also just added Friday and Saturday night dinner services to their repetorie. From 5pm-late every week, you can feast on a set menu that features their famous house made bread and dips, a rotating list of proteins like lamb on the spit, charcoal roasted fish and porchetta, and seasonal vegetables—all for just $55pp. With a list of 25 boutique wines to sip alongside it, this may just be James Street's new go-to dinner spot.
