Loving Carpenter & Cook's new cafe, which offers a compact menu of savoury items, including sandwiches, pastas and pizzas; their best-selling tarts, cakes and pastries, displayed at the counter, are also available.

The crabmeat fettucine comes in a big heap, a thick, robust pink sauce – that's more tomato-ish than cream – clinging to every ribbon of pasta. It's not mindblowing, but it's rich and hearty and hits the spot nevertheless.

My croissant comes piled with arugula, smoked salmon and oh-so-moist, creamy, scrambled eggs – there's even a dollop of caviar to add a pop of saltiness. It's a weekend brunch special that you should certainly not miss, especially when it's priced so affordably at a mere $12.
