Enjoy a feast at Lucha Loco, which serves some of the best authentic Mexican dishes. The alfresco seating is decorated beautifully and clearly on point with the Mexican theme. There are several couch seats at the garden terrace if you want cozy seating, but they’ve also got high tables and bar stools. At night, the ambience is great because the garden terrace is littered with a string of lights that adds to the atmosphere.

If you’d like to bring your furpal along with you, we’d recommend visiting Flourish Bakehouse!

The cafe offers a selection of sweet and savory pastries as well as tea and coffee options on their menu, and you can bring a large picnic mat to sit on — or borrow from the cafe itself.

The Dempsey Project is a relatively new restaurant located at Dempsey Road, and the indoor area is absolutely spacious — perfect if you want a more private dining spot since tables are located pretty far away from each other.

You’ll be able to enjoy a relaxing afternoon while digging in to their classic brunch staples and nourishing Ayurvedic dishes.
