Ivy & Lark

In Chermside, Ivy & Lark brings a bright, relaxed take on daytime dining, with plates that lean generous and flavours that speak in crisp, satisfying notes. The kitchen keeps things honest and plentiful, threading familiar café comforts with touches of spice and texture.

For breakfast, crushed avocado meets hummus, feta and cherry tomatoes, lifted with greens and a dusting of dukkah - fresh, nutty, and moreish. If you're chasing a heartier start, you'll find a big brekkie piled with eggs, bacon, Kransky sausage, halloumi and, yes, more avocado.

Come lunchtime, the mood turns to handheld pleasures: a house cheese burger layered with a beef patty, American cheese, onion jam, and pickles - or a southern-style chicken burger with crispy bacon, sliced tomato and greens. Here, smoke, crunch and tang do the talking.

It's food built for unhurried catch-ups and quick bites alike, the kind of fare that suits an easy-going Brisbane lifestyle. Make a date for breakfast or lunch, bring an appetite, and let the good times take flight - a little lark by name and by nature!
