Ardi’s Block to Grill

Down the bottom end of Crown Street, amidst endless restaurants and takeaway shops, you’ll find a lit-up yellow sign hanging over a couple of small outdoor tables, chalked-up specials boards, and eye-catching dark blue doors.

Run by lifelong butcher Ardi Edgu and his family, Ardi’s Block to Grill is a butcher and restaurant with some serious class, from its produce and service to the bowtie getups behind the counter.

"Block to grill" means you can stop in for dinner, order a glass of wine and watch your chosen meat cut on the butcher’s block before it’s cooked. Or choose from the front display case to take home premium cuts of meat and ready-to-go fridge goods like lasagne, salads, and pies.
