The Local Mbassy

Best Known For

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

With 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, fresh baby spinach and smoky tomato Hollandaise, served on brioche bread; while those on a lunch break opt for a kimchi pork burger, Mbassy sweet chilli sauce, mozzarella strips and kimchi, on a charcoal milk bun. For a sweet finish, try red velvet hotcakes, fresh strawberries, mascarpone and creamy white chocolate.
