I had a fantastic experience at Beanbah when I least expected it the other day. I was reccomended this small cafe by a colleague who said the food (for a city cafe) was creative and above anything else in the area. I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality and portions of food, and the fast & friendly service.
The food is all quality in terms of ingredients and taste. The seating and look are great, preparation areas are clean and business like, nice high ceilings, stained glass window and marble entrance. Stained wooden floor added class that nearby cafes cannot boast. Price is competitive but not over the top, the best of its kind in Macquarie St.
So glad I stumbled on this place the other day. I set out to have lunch at Bueno Vista Cafe on Level 14 of the Law Courts building with fabulous views & good value food, but it was way too busy when I got there & didn't have time.....,
So I ended up right next door at street level at this little gem of a place that I've walked past before, but never gone in. Wasn't too busy so new my limited time would fit in nicely so in I went to be greeted by either the manager of owner with real personality & character. Not only him (who may have been of Italian, Greek or Lebanese descent), but also the wait stuff had the gr8 Aussie attitude to relaxed openness & friendliness. Often this attitude can result in service also being a little laid back, but not here. It was spot on!
Things I like about this place:-
The food, had a very enjoyable Chicken & Asparagus Risotto. The service with a smile & a good amount of attentiveness. Let me elaborate on that. They actually asked when I ordered whether I wanted my coffee straight away or later on. Most places I have to specify later on as they automatically bring it out straight way, often with the cold drink you've ordered. Not only that, but I was asked just a few minutes before finishing my meal, if I would like my coffee then received it just as I was swallowing the last mouthful ...., excellent timing. Not often you get that at a down to earth eating place such as this
Speaking of coffee, they stock Calima Cafe de Colombia coffee just as Obelisk Cafe in Macquarie Place does & I find it very good indeed. I will definitely be going back here again & I recommend that you give it a try.
