The menu at Copper Blossom features a standout Sunday roast and salt and chilli chicken waffles. The steak and eggs are served pre-cut for ease. While portions are refined, the quality and service make it a top choice for dining on George Street.

If all went to plan the Oak & Ember bar and eatery enjoyed it's soft launch today. Very tempting to try and visit this weekend! Bowhill Terrace

Looney Tunes: The Day The Earth Blew Up is a rare beast: a genuine, full-length animated feature. It balances a 1950s sci-fi pastiche with modern sensibilities. A vibrant, technically impressive return to form for Daffy and Porky. 3.5 stars.

While the food at Ella is a safe bet, the layout is a challenge for prams or wheelchairs. Tables are packed tight for a bustling vibe, but it makes navigation difficult. It is worth knowing this before you book a family lunch.
