Blacksmith

Steps from Central Station, Blacksmith sets an easy, unhurried pace inside a rustic workshop dining room built for lingering. Booths and long tables handle everything from solo coffees to rowdy birthday brunches without the table-turning rush—and staff split the bill without hesitation. The kitchen reworks standard Australian brekkie with sharp Asian-fusion accents, turning out crispy fish tacos, toasted katsu sandwiches, and pulled pork over kimchi rosti. Teapots and doors forged in dark iron anchor the room, while flat whites and kimchi baked eggs with chorizo hit the timber tables.
