Friction

There’s no feed like Friction’s 👌🏼
Bright, seasonal dishes & rich St Ali brews ☕️

08/09/2026

Lunch with extra crunch 👌🏼 Crispy chicken, charred corn, guac, fresh pico de gallo and chipotle mayo, each wrapped up and served with chips. And yes, there’s a cauliflower version for the veg crew too!

Napkins advised. Sharing optional. 😏

04/09/2026

Consider this your sign to make brunch plans. ✋🏼 Banana Bread French Toast. Butterscotch. Cold brew date paste. Berries. Crumble. Vanilla bean ice-cream. It just keeps getting better and better.

Bookings recommended this weekend. Ordering seconds strongly encouraged. 😏

When a Google review calls it the best barramundi they’ve tasted, you pay attention. 🫡

Crispy on top, tender underneath, with a potato rosti and a rich batata harra beurre blanc bringing it all together. Come taste what the fuss is about. 🐟

01/09/2026

Tomorrow morning could look like this 👀 Creamy, crunchy, fruity and just sweet enough, our House Made Granola is one of those breakfasts that feels like you’ve really got your life together (and even if you don’t, we won’t tell). 🌈

You bring Dad; we’ll bring the coffee! ☕️

This Father’s Day, join us for a dine-in meal at Friction and Dad’s first coffee is on the house.

Whether he’s a long black, flat white or cappuccino kind of guy, this is our little way of wishing him a Happy Father’s Day, while you get in some quality time around the table. 💚

Bookings highly recommended, as they’re already filling up – come celebrate Dad with us!

29/08/2026

Schnitzel underneath. Caesar on top. 🍗 Some combinations simply make sense.

Fresh, crunchy and comforting all at once – our Chicken Caesar Schnitzel is exactly the kind of Saturday lunch we can get behind. Meet you here!

28/08/2026

One table. Many good decisions. 😉 Get the group out of the chat, and come cover the table in dishes. Weekend mode: activated. ✅

27/08/2026

Swipe through for some recent words from our guests. Five stars never gets old, so thank you all for every review, message and kind word. 🙏🏼

25/08/2026

If tomorrow’s lunch options look like leftovers, meal prep or another sad salad… may we intervene? 😏

Midweek lunch deserves better, i.e. our Turkish Eggs: poached eggs, whipped sumac yoghurt, punchy ezme salsa and warm, grilled Turkish bread made for tearing, dipping and optimal scooping. 🍳

21/08/2026

Good morning to this, and this only. ☀️ Our Breakfast Burger stacks bacon, hash brown, guac, American cheese, chipotle mayo and tomato relish onto a soft potato bun – with a fried egg crown. 👑

You’ll need two hands for this one!

20/08/2026

Zoom in, we insist 😌

A little fresh chilli, a generous sprinkle of crushed peanuts and all those bright, crunchy flavours underneath – our Chicken Vermicelli Salad is the kind of lunch that leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. Perfection 👌🏼

19/08/2026

Let’s face it, the best weekday lunches involve a made-to-order Beef Burger: a stack of juicy beef, melted cheddar, pickles and Friction sauce, with hot chippies on the side.

Cold weather comfort food, at its finest (and freshest).

16/08/2026

Two words you want to hear on a Monday morning: “coffee up”. ☕️ Meet you at Friction.
