Doppio Zero

While primarily known for its breakfast and lunch options, Doppio Zero also serves dinner and has slightly extended hours on weekends. So, whether you're looking for a pre-party meet-up spot to grab a late lunch or dinner, Doppio Zero right on the corner of Gleneagles Road is a must visit.

Tei Avon

Famous for its shawarmas and milkshakes, Tei Avon is a favourite among locals. And if you're not craving a shawarma (although we highly recommend you try one!), they also have burgers, bagels, ribs, salads, espetada, laffa and more. This is another great place to grab a bite to eat before you kick off the weekend at one of the areas bars.
