White Bull
Armidale’s telltale blue-grey bricks are still in place but the White Bull hasn’t been shy giving the interior a makeover. This is a pub worthy of a bit of lippy, with couches for chilling, a bar with boutique beers and a bistro menu that rises above the usual pub grub.

Bottega Café & Delicatezza
A haunt not just for foodies, but for hungries too. This cafe has tables and shelves stocked with gourmet produce and a deli full of charcuterie and cheese. Breakfast doesn't get much better.

A
Red Grapevine Restaurant & Bar
It arrives hot, it's hearty, rich and filling. Chorizo, tomato and cannellini bean, it is the way soup was always meant to be. This restaurant is not trying to be anything other than a fantastic Italian dining experience. BYO bottled wine only.

Aboriginal Cultural Centre & Keeping Place
Next door, this place will broaden your perception of Indigenous art, and enable the kids to make their own with the help of a resident artist.

Grass-Roots Eco-Store
This store is full to the brim with produce to bring out the inner greenie: fair-trade toys, organic beauty products, sustainable clothing and other guilt-free goods.

Goldfish Bowl
So-called because caffeine-fiends queue up along Dangar St staring in at the baristas who make this well- executed little drinkery tick. (That’s our take on it.)

E
Caffiends
Basic through to gourmet sandwiches, salads, pizzas, laksa, nachos and even steak! A real mixed bag to suit every tastebud but not every wallet, bring cash only.

Goldfish Bowl
This popular spot is in addition to the original and truly excellent Dangar St coffee haunt. It has indoor and outdoor tables and some menu surprises such as snails in mushrooms caps with Pernod and hazelnut butter.

Bistro on Cinders
Behind the post office, this plain brick building with a little courtyard houses a fantastic eatery. It's contemporary but not pretentious – have a quick coffee or sit around all night admiring the groovy chandeliers and artwork.
