About Trims Restaurant

Trims delivers unpretentious, old-school hospo on Playne Street with hearty plates and remarkably modest prices. Regulars stop in for warm banter with front-of-house staff who recall custom orders and scribble notes on takeaway cups. Settle onto the outdoor lounge chairs for a hot, strong coffee alongside a toasted lamb souvlaki and crisp chips, or tuck into a golden chicken parma with housemade baked beans on the side.

  • Familiar front-of-house hospitality: Front-of-house staff remember your regular coffee order, greet you by name, and add cheerful handwritten notes to takeaway cups.
  • Generous, affordable cafe classics: Substantial diner and cafe staples—from lamb souvlaki to classic chicken parmas—served at budget-friendly price points.
  • Laid-back alfresco lounge: An unhurried outdoor lounge seating area set apart from louder strip cafes.

  • Lamb Souvlaki

    Try the lamb souvlaki it comes with the most amazing fries. The meat is so tender and delicious and it’s a toasted wrap so it’s not messy to eat.
