Obelix & Co

Forget the grocery label—this Fitzroy North spot turns local produce into experimental French plates threaded with Asian fusion. Drop by the counter for a warm wild boar sausage roll and a filter coffee, or settle into a corner table by the fire for a long midday spread. Regulars point newcomers toward the creamy parfait, labneh arancini, and goat cheese fondant. Co-owners Lachie and Kristy walk tables through the ever-shifting roster, pouring juicy, easy-drinking vins de soif as glasses empty.
