Tinderbox Kitchen

The verdict

James Street's Tinderbox Kitchen, tucked off the main strip in the laneway behind Harveys, is a stylish space with a casual vibe—ideal for a catch up with friends for a craft beer or vino from the eclectic wine list. The Italian menu is perfect for grazing and has a focus on local produce (the hand-made gnocci is a favourite).

The beautiful wood fired pizza oven is the heart and soul of the Tinderbox Kitchen dining experience, turning out deliciously thin pizzas made from scratch with fresh seasonal produce, and divine share plates.
