The Local Mbassy

Best Known For

10-hour slow braised pork belly, root vegetable pave and blood orange jus.

Gaining a steadfast following, The Local Mbassy café lures with a suave industrial panache and decadent fare from a position on Ultimo's Wattle Street. A maze of metal pipes, converted wine barrel tables and quirky vintage seats represent the character of this cafe, drawing influence from an era gone by that charms crowds who meet and mingle over a bite in this bright and lofty venue. Contemporary cuisine tempts with delectable brunch fare like crab meat Benedict, poached eggs, baby spinach and smoky tomato hollandaise, served on brioche; while those on a lunch break may delve into a grilled Wagyu burger, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, Mbassy tomato and onion chutney, served with battered potato chips. For a sweet finish, try a Nutella nest of strawberry, crème fraiche and Persian fairy floss.
