The thing I was most amazed about is how this mix of different ingredients, methods and techniques doesn't translate into something contrasting and "strange".. oh no, they create blends of flavours and aromas that you wish you could have more often!<br /><br />I look forward to going there again very soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-14453591803405382932010-06-07T13:15:59.060+10:002010-06-07T13:15:59.060+10:00Hi Claire,

You've definitely made me want to check out Attica now - and head to Earl for breakfast (I'm at work just across the road!) Congrats on the three-year anniversary!
