About Double Cross Dining Room

Few all-day spots pull off the cafe-to-bistro shift with this much ease. Crows Nest coffee crews point regulars here for daytime chicken burgers or unusual eggs layered with peanut butter and chilli—then by dusk, the dining room pivots to dinner. The kitchen sends out crisp prawn toast, Wagyu flank steak, and charred miso cabbage that silences skeptics. Pours range from house sodas to dry Riesling, backed by easy floor staff and zero weekend surcharges.

  • Inventive Brunch Menu: Morning shifts run on specialty brews, black sesame lattes, and Asian-inflected breakfasts like the croffle Benedict and Unusual Eggs.
  • Seamless Evening Transition: Evenings bring an intimate dining room pouring Riesling and zero-proof drinks alongside Wagyu flank steak and standout prawn toast.
  • Zero Surcharges: Generous portions, intuitive service, and no weekend surcharges keep the dining room accessible.

Why Double Cross Dining Room Stands Out in Crows Nest

From bold daytime fusion brunches to refined evening dining, secure your table at Double Cross Dining Room.

  • Inventive Asian Fusion Brunch Classics

    The kitchen pushes breakfast beyond standard cafe conventions with playful Japanese and Asian twists, highlighted by savory peanut butter and chili layered over fried eggs and sourdough.

    Fav is Unusual Eggs - not sure how Fried eggs, peanut butter, chilli and toast can work as one dish but they do.

  • Unexpected Umami-Packed Signature Dishes

    Vegetable dishes command center stage with high-heat charring and rich miso sauces that leave lasting impressions even on habitual vegetable skeptics.

    Unbelievably the standout was the charred miso infused cabbage, and I don’t even eat that normally!

  • Precision-Cooked Evening Mains and Steak

    The evening dining room demonstrates serious culinary technique, serving tender Wagyu flank steak and balanced reductions calibrated for refined dinner dining.

    The absolute standout for us are the wagyu flank steak with blue cheese sauce and lemon meringue tart.

  • Transparent Value with Zero Weekend Surcharges

    Double Cross maintains honest, customer-first pricing by skipping weekend dining surcharges without compromising on table service or plating.

    Great atmosphere, friendly service, and no weekend surcharge is a bonus.

  • A Welcoming Setting for Dates and Small Dinners

    A sleek interior, balanced lighting, and calm background music create an intimate neighborhood atmosphere tailored for couples and small dinner parties.

    Relaxed atmosphere, great for date night or small group dinner.

  • Attentive Hospitality for Group Gatherings

    Diners hosting family gatherings or celebratory meals receive considerate care, with floor staff proactively arranging private seating and guiding choices.

    The staff were really friendly and even gave us a corner table so we had more privacy, which was very thoughtful.
