As good as any of Canberra's flash brunch spots, Birchwood pours a powerful coffee, bakes its own seed-studded gluten-free bread and lovingly prepares veg bowls, tortillas and hard-to-resist apple-pie waffles. You'll feel healthier just for considering the green lentil and kale salad…though you may end up ordering the pistachio-packed Persian love cake.
Plenty of meals can be tailored for vegans.
There's no dedicated kids' menu, but families are frequent visitors thanks to the upbeat setting and staff willing to cater for dietary requirements. Also, the cakes.
