Consider this your sign to make brunch plans. ✋🏼 Banana Bread French Toast. Butterscotch. Cold brew date paste. Berries. Crumble. Vanilla bean ice-cream. It just keeps getting better and better.

Bookings recommended this weekend. Ordering seconds strongly encouraged. 😏

When a Google review calls it the best barramundi they’ve tasted, you pay attention. 🫡

Crispy on top, tender underneath, with a potato rosti and a rich batata harra beurre blanc bringing it all together. Come taste what the fuss is about. 🐟

Tomorrow morning could look like this 👀 Creamy, crunchy, fruity and just sweet enough, our House Made Granola is one of those breakfasts that feels like you’ve really got your life together (and even if you don’t, we won’t tell). 🌈

You bring Dad; we’ll bring the coffee! ☕️

This Father’s Day, join us for a dine-in meal at Friction and Dad’s first coffee is on the house.

Whether he’s a long black, flat white or cappuccino kind of guy, this is our little way of wishing him a Happy Father’s Day, while you get in some quality time around the table. 💚

Bookings highly recommended, as they’re already filling up – come celebrate Dad with us!

Schnitzel underneath. Caesar on top. 🍗 Some combinations simply make sense.

Fresh, crunchy and comforting all at once – our Chicken Caesar Schnitzel is exactly the kind of Saturday lunch we can get behind. Meet you here!

If tomorrow’s lunch options look like leftovers, meal prep or another sad salad… may we intervene? 😏

Midweek lunch deserves better, i.e. our Turkish Eggs: poached eggs, whipped sumac yoghurt, punchy ezme salsa and warm, grilled Turkish bread made for tearing, dipping and optimal scooping. 🍳

Good morning to this, and this only. ☀️ Our Breakfast Burger stacks bacon, hash brown, guac, American cheese, chipotle mayo and tomato relish onto a soft potato bun – with a fried egg crown. 👑

You’ll need two hands for this one!

Zoom in, we insist 😌

A little fresh chilli, a generous sprinkle of crushed peanuts and all those bright, crunchy flavours underneath – our Chicken Vermicelli Salad is the kind of lunch that leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. Perfection 👌🏼

Let’s face it, the best weekday lunches involve a made-to-order Beef Burger: a stack of juicy beef, melted cheddar, pickles and Friction sauce, with hot chippies on the side.

Cold weather comfort food, at its finest (and freshest).
