Lucky Duck Cafe & Bar
Highgate Hill
A friendly little cafe bar tucked into the eclectic Gladstone Rd shopping strip, Lucky Duck makes a worthy caffeine, food and drinks stop for passers by.
The organic beans come from local stars BlackStar Coffee and the baristas do them justice with the brews they churn out. By day breakfast is available until 2pm in the form of dishes like Breakfast Puck ( bacon and fried egg English muffin with house relish), thick cut banana bread with ricotta and honey or a the famous breakfast tortilla aka Mega Wrap filled with bacon, egg, tomato and house relish.
From 5pm a bar menu kicks in with delicious snacks like New Orleans Sliders, Cheese board and Charcuterie or Marinated Mushrooms with sourdough bread to accompany bar drinks like draught craft beers and ciders, boutique wines and spirits and classic house cocktails.
Nice to know: Those who avail themselves of an outside stool have a view on one of the city’s better stencil art walls.
